Is it possible, that God gave me a massive amount of patience for use throughout my lifetime, but when it's gone, it's gone?
That I was supplied with this generous, yet finite, quantitiy, and I've used it all up in 12 years of parenting?
That's not how it works, right?
Which means this is just a lull. Just a momentary lapse in my ability to tap into the God-given, grace-driven well of patience, for the use and good of my children?
Phew. Good thing. Cause parenting is impossible without it.
I'll let you know when it returns.
God please grant me patience RIGHT NOW!
