I hope so, too :) Your patience and perseverance are so necessary, if only others could be as brave and strong as you, then they might make it out of the fire into salvation, like I believe you will. You inspired me to find a good verse on patience, I'd like to share with you what I found and I hope it means something to you.

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."

—Romans 5:1-6 KJV
