Trials

It has been a long time since I blogged. I forgot how therapeutic that it can be. Anyway, I have done all I can do to figure out what I need to be doing in life. While I still haven't found that answer, I have figured out that my main purpose in life is to glorify God in all that I do. I have to praise him when things are good and when things are bad. In the course of a week, we have had some major issues. It started with some medical problems for my wife. She's OK now, but the stress and the finances of it would have been enough alone to make me cry, but combined with having a blow out on the way to the hospital, and needing wiper blades, we didn't think we would make it thru that day. Add the stress of having a wreck 2 days a go and I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry. Then last night, my wife comes home from school, and I meet her at her car. We started talking and I thought I heard something, my suspicions were confirmed when I ran my hand along her front driver tire, and found heavy tire wear, enough to cause air to be leaking, enough to ruin the tire. GOD... how much more can I take? Then I read Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. How can I argue with that... So praise him for my troubles and my trials that I may see what God the Father has in store for me!!!!
