But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Today has been one of those days. The first part of the day was going very well. Things were going just how they needed to. Then a trial happened. Things changed. It has leveled out some now but still, there was a trial. It made the afternoon a bit rough for me personally. Days like today can wear you down quickly, if you let them.
I will not give details, they are not needed. Let's just say I continued to talk with God through it all. There were times where I even laughed. You have to laugh sometimes and find either a positive or something to laugh at. I think I even made others chuckle a bit. I gave several people who I do not know a good story to tell. That is okay by me. For me the important thing is that God was with us.
God is always with us through the trials. This I know. Trials help us to learn patience and reliance on God. He is who I am relying on. He gives me strength. I see the good through every trial. I see God's love and I pray that he continues to perfect me. His strength is all I need. I am at peace knowing God is there and He will always take care of me and provide for me, for all of us. I will continue my conversations with Him. He is my salvation, my rock, my savior.
I pray everyone spends time tomorrow thinking about what they are thankful for. I know I have lots to thank God for.
