When students don't respond like I hoped for, I...

get frustrated. I am finding that I am growing in not blaming myself, but it is still so discouraging to see students choose something you see that they shouldn't. Or if they are not making something a priority that you know would be best for them. But, it gives me a glimpse of how the Lord must feel (even infinitely more) when He sees me choosing what is not best for me, or if I respond in a way that is different than He would hope. Seeing the patience He has for me encourages me to have more patience with others. ~Mik
