Welcome to Week 3 of our February Challenges. Our word prompt for this month is PATIENCE. Ahhhhh, something that I know I need more of and it seems like I'm not alone. My oldest daughter asked me recently how I became so patient. Who, me? I had to chuckle because I'm not a very patient person. I've learned, over the years, to not react (like I used to) when I'm in a situation that tries my patience. I still have impatience, I've just learned how to "manage it".
Here are some quotes about PATIENCE that really "spoke" to me:
"Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.'
Joyce Meyer

"'Learn to wait; invariably either things will change or your heart will." Jonathan Carroll
'You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad." Adlai E. Stevenson
"The people who test your patience are a blessing.. Without them, you can't practice patience" Nouman Ali
"Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time."
Leo Tolstoy
3. "Patience is the companion of wisdom."
Saint Augustine
"The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.'

Here's my layout and I hope it gives you some inspiration. I used some synonyms for the word art on my page.
Now...some Housekeeping:
You can choose to do a single page/tag/TN each week, or do a divided template - one part for each week. If you don't have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you do the template, we would love it if you would post it incrementally. Post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and three on the third, and then the finished page on the fourth week.
Again - the template is NEVER a requirement to use, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
Everyone who participates in any of this month's challenges will be entered into a drawing for a $5 gift certificate to Oscraps. You can receive up to four entries into this month's drawing.
