Do you ever feel as if life is moving at a snail’s pace, or perhaps the rate of transformation of a caterpillar?

It’s so hard to be patient. Especially in our faith. I know in my life I have wanted to be so much further along in my faith life than I perceive I am. I feel like I should be past my mistakes and fears and everything else.

But I think it’s important to remember that we all started life unable even to crawl. We eventually gained the skills to crawl, slowly, and made our way to walking and running.

Maybe in our faith we can remember to crawl first before wanting to run to the goal line.
