Life's Trials and Learning Lessons

I think that I must have a lesson or two to learn because I've experienced trial after trial after trial lately. There seems to be no end to the difficulties yet I know that this is just a time in my life where God is showing me something. I'm not sure what it is yet but I hope I find out soon!!! LOL!

I will be praying for you. I too feel the same way and feel like all the cards are stacked against me at times.

Lisa May 13, 2008 9:26 PM  

You are in the right frame of mind! Stay Strong and remember God ALWAYS has a plan!

I've missed you posting on your blog.

As my good friend Tony Robbins says, problems are the huge weights that God gives you to push against that sculpt your soul.

I'm sorry about the kidney stone, and my family wishes you speedy recovery. Stay positive, don't get discouraged, and take your pain medication!

Hang on to the truths that you know and remember them when the trials are overwhelming you. Sometimes we don't understand the why's and the how's but just have to believe that He will work everything out and that we will have the strength to get through it. God bless you and I am so sorry that you are struggling, it would not be worth it if He was not molding you into a beautiful vessel.

I read this passage this morning and was greatly encouraged. I pray that you are as well.


Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

Oh, I always wish God could just show me what he wanted me to learn so I could move on. It doesn't usually work that way. I look forward to hearing your testimony of what God taught you through whatever you are going through.
Keep resting in Him!

Hang in there! I like what Monica said. God is with you and you'll have a great story when you are done!~

Just recently I went though a lot of trials also. I thought it would never end. But everything has turned out for the best! My family has been brought closer together and closer to the Lord. I will pray for you and your family.
