As much as I wanted to see this big dream happen immediately, I discovered that it takes a lot of hard work, persistence, faith and hope to make dreams happen, especially the ones that God places in our hearts. Working it out is probably much more like the way of Christ, anyway. Jesus chose the difficult path of humility, persistence, faithfulness, faith, trust, patience, hard work and even pain to reveal Himself to us, teach us, sanctify us, heal us and offer us eternal life.
