Patience is a Virtue

Dear Person who is reviewing my application for doula certification:

I conscientiously completed all the requirements...the births, the papers, the classes, etc., and mailed my 41 page application packet on Nov 30th.  You verified that you received my application and that you would try your best to have it reviewed within the standard 2 month allotment.   You mentioned that you are sometimes slow to follow through and to email you if need be.  I emailed you a week ago and still have heard nothing....so here I wait...on the edge of my seat...wondering if I will be considered worthy of DONA's title and credentials.  :)   No, not really. As I've waiting and attended 4 more births in the meantime, I've realized I am a good doula--with or without the title.  This is a gift from God and a privilege to be able to serve in this capacity.  Lord, please let everything I do be for You and to help point others to You.  That includes being patient.  :)

Love it KJ. I'm sure you are an AMAZING Doula, and I totally agree it doesn't take a piece of paper to prove that!
