If it was not for my faith in God, I would be a total wreck tonight. One incident after another when you think it couldn't get worse it does! However I will not be shaken, I will not be moved, the Lord my God is my strong tower, my mighty fortress! He is the solid rock on which I stand! Today was a testing of my faith to the extent it has not been pushed in quite some time! I made the mistake telling someone earlier that my day had to get better, it didn't another trial came front and center and it was a total shock hit us totally unaware. Yet God is watching over us and will not allow more to us then what He allows to fall on us! I praise God that I do see solutions to these inconveniences that have happened to us today! My trust is in Him and Him alone and I know He will carry us through this time we are about to enter, But if He doesn't provide a solution I will still praise Him knowing that there is a lesson to be learned! Life doesn't always go smoothly, when it seems to us all is going good and things are looking up is when we are blindsided brought to our knees being humbled so we do not forget who we are and who is our Father! As I said before the Thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy but Christ came so we can have life and have it more abundantly" My trust is in Lord in Him alone I seek refuge. Knowing He can if it is in His will to deliver us from this trial, but if He chooses not to, I will still praise Him!

Minor affliction
As I set on the side of the road in my car broke down. I am thinking of the times before that God has brought us through similar storms. I don't know how this is going to work out, or exactly what we're going to do yet. But I do know to trust in God, I heard something this afternoon that stuck with me, what ever dream or what ever I want to do or what ever is holding me back I must empty myself of it! I must trust in God knowing this trial is only to refine my faith and for me to draw closer to Him. "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy" I can look at this two ways, one I'm not to have this job, or two the devil is trying to prevent me from moving forward in the process. I believe the latter, for this is a Christian company, who's ethics and morals are aligned with mine. With my training and experience I have I know I will excel in this job. The devil knows my dreams and what I wish to do, he will do what ever he can to prevent me from achieving that goal. The time I spent at said company today was very pleasant and informative. I will continue to pray before my interview on Tuesday that this is in Gods will. I don't see how this trial is of God, even though He allowed it to happen. I'm not upset or angry, I have a peace about the whole thing knowing that everything will be taken care of.

When we experience loss
When tragedy hits and all seems lost, you are not alone! Our hearts break with remorse asking why this has happened? We can't make sense and left in a daze! At times like this we must admit it is more than we can take, turn to God for His strength, comfort and peace! God knows and understands your pain. His heart pours out His love for you! His arms are open to grant you His embrace. Gods people will share your pain, they will give you a shoulder to cry on they will be there just to listen and lend a caring ear. Don't take this on your own allow those around you to aid you as Gods hands and feet. We are small community who have time and time again came together in love to those that are in need. This is no different you are family we all are family and at times like this we don't leave our family alone.
