I totally understand this.  I think the worst thing would be for me to butcher the Word and left to look as though I was clueless.

Hi Moises,

Patience and Longsuffering is something we are all learning. Remember those are Fruits of The Spirit.
If it was easy we could do it ourselves, GOD HAS Chosen for us to learn this way Brother.

Psa 86:15 
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Rom 5: 3-4
3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Gal 5: 22-26
22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

2Ti 4:2 
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

hi goerge

thanks for your words. Patience and 'learning time' is what i was talking about, Longsufferings is the only way. I appreciate your encouragement.

about 2Tim. 4:2,  Why would we want to preach when it's not opportune?
Corcondant Version
2Tim. 4:2
Herald the word. Stand by it, opportunely, inopportunely, expose, rebuke, entreat, with all patience and teaching.

Hi Moises,

I learn patience everyday, that takes time and longsuffering, keep going brother.

Hi Eileen
I think that we reveal part of our believes very often when we share our thoughts and opinions. And as we all agree, whatever happen it is all part of the journey.
Dave in teen, It is always a good wish to don't dishonor the Truth. Even if we just have that little light that you talked about.

Heidi:
Roy Martin....thank you for sharing your story.  I may need to stop and smell the roses as I am sure there are a lot of times when God wanted to talk to me and I just walked past.

Heidi
