Patience truly is a virtue, it is an intentional way of being. Whether anticipating a dream to be realized or in times of being tested and tried, patience is the anchor to our peace, it strengthens our roots, encourages us to be unmoved yet content. It allows us to pause, giving us space to respond in love.

Patience is an act we have the privilege to practice over and over and over again. Every day, every thought and word, every interaction, every moment is a new chance to lean into patience.

Here are vows to help ground us in patience.
