There is no doubt when I look back at the life I lived, yet made it out of unbelievable situations unharmed that God was in control and was protecting me. No, my life is not perfect now, but I see the bigger picture and when I get all stressed out trying to be in control I have to take a deep breath, relax and let go and let God cuz I know ultimately HE is in control. Only then am I in his will. :)Ginausahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401294106911049646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687099970634697942.post-57986784068900679902007-12-07T17:12:00.000-05:002007-12-07T17:12:00.000-05:00Jenna,You shared some wise words.

God can be trusted. He will never leave us or forsake us..." AMEN!!!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>1. How do I perceive trials? I often react first, but after gathering and composing myself I end up asking God for what to do. Do I want quick relief or am I seeking God's purpose? Of course for my flesh, I want the easy way out which is quick relief.<BR/><BR/>2. Do I want to learn perseverance? I think for me that my spirit desires to learn perseverance, but since I am in the flesh I want the quick relief most of the times when a trial begins. I do look at my blessings and see that with each trial that I have mastered perseverance thru disciplined prayer and standing upon the promises of God's Holy Word.<BR/><BR/>3. Do I ask God for wisdom for every day things going on in my life and the big things<BR/>as well? Most of the times I find that I do ask the Lord for guidance, but unconciously the Holy Spirit always leads me to thing I need whether it is thru a person talking to me, reading a book, listening to music, or meditating on the scripture.<BR/><BR/>4. Do I really trust that God will do what he says he will do? Oh yes! Absolutely I do without a doubut God has proven Himself over and over to my family, relatives, and friends with answered prayer.<BR/><BR/>5. Can I really experience joy in the midst of trials, especially if it means I am<BR/>growing in my faith? I don't know if I call it joy exactly, but I experience what I call a sense of peace in the midst of the storms of my life. I don't know whether that is joy, but I feel like God is with me.<BR/><BR/>6. Is my ultimate goal to grow in my faith or to prevent going through hard times? Of course my goal is to grow in faith each second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year. I don't even know what person woould think that he/she could prevent trials as long as there is a devil to deal with.

I have been there. It is really hard to separate out our relationship with Christ and what goes on in the church. I have often found it drives me to trust God and not people. People will always let us down and churches for that matter. God will not let us down and is sovereign. May God love you and direct you through this difficult time.Coach Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745754071595279271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687099970634697942.post-32170484213551625632007-08-10T10:53:00.000-04:002007-08-10T10:53:00.000-04:00I just wanted to comment on God being in control o...I just wanted to comment on God being in control of our lives (if we let Him). I have struggled with this mightily the past couple of years. My husband and I went through some issues in our church that involved broken trust, slander, gossip. We felt (and still feel at times) that our prayers are 'bouncing off the ceiling'. During that difficult time, I have had to add hours to my work schedule to help ends meet. Once again, I felt out of control and very conflicted about not being home with my girls more (especially this past summer). I will try to keep Jeremiah 29:11 in mind as I continue to struggle through the issues in my life.<BR/>ShelleyShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562961625879386531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687099970634697942.post-1840648215246636132007-07-28T10:10:00.000-04:002007-07-28T10:10:00.000-04:00Sonshine,My heart breaks for what you have been th...Sonshine,<BR/><BR/>My heart breaks for what you have been through. Praise God that you are the end of the line and you will pass on new ways to relate in your family. You will also have a heart for other hurting people and can minister to them. I'm so glad you did share and I love the name Sonshine. God can and will still be glorified even through the most tragic situations.

I spent years wondering why, years being angry, years in counseling. Then one morning I realized that out of all the bad things that I had been through - God gave me another great gift. He gave me the gift of stopping the abuse from going on in the next generations of my family. I'm it...the last, that line of tragedy stops here. Don't get me wrong, I still have bad days...but knowing that I am the last in line gives me great comfort. I know this comment doesn't follow the discussion forum questions but I had to share. I hope y'all don't mind.Sonshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222599032380464950noreply@blogger.com
