Trial by fire

"Fear not I am with you!" Is written on the painting in my office. During the darkest times in life God has not left you. It takes fire to make elegant glass, it takes fire to make beautiful pottery, it takes fire to make precious metals shine. Life may seem like it is spinning out of control everything may be falling apart. Don't fear or worry about what is going to happen for God has not let go of you, He has never left you nor forsaken you!  It is during these times your faith is being refined, God wants you to trust in Him!  God is known for making beauty from the ashes. The ways and means God uses to gain our trust in Him often times does not make since, but the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding but trust in God in all that we do and He will make our paths straight! And also Gods ways are not man's ways. I knew changes were coming but I didn't expect this. I have a decision to make one I am really torn on.  I won't make this choice on my own I'm praying God will guide me to the choice that will honor Him! Maybe He is all ready leading me in the direction I need to go. I know it is hard to see the whole picture when you are standing right on top of it you have to take a step back and look at the whole thing. Once you get above the waves and look down on them they don't seem so big!  I often pray that God's will be done and not my own. Yet I want my will to be inline with that of God's!  This is a big decision and possible a step down is a step up. To be a leader you must be a servant to all.
