patience is a what?

I am so glad you are talking to me in that calm and understanding voice that tells me you know how much I have to fight with myself to listen to you and you know how hard it is for me to trust you. If you didn't have that tone of voice, God, I'd be snapping at you and running off. I want to get started on my pilgrimage and all you say is Wait one more week. I have to trust you. I know I better trust you or I'll be in trouble. One more week. Just one more week? Can I go then? Will you be back with new info then?
