James 1:2-4

I realize my last blog was quite a while ago.  I'd really like to continue to share my story with everyone. God has been moving at neck break speed in my life.  It seems like I'm continually learning lesson after lesson.  Since my last post, I moved to the city that I started going to church.  It has been a journey that I would describe as fearfully wonderful.  Fearful, in a sense, because of the changes that I have had to adjust to. Wonderful because of the amazing way He has worked in my life.  I'm not going to sugar coat it, there has been some really dark times in that adjustment.  Although I know that I have the Lord by my side, there are still times that I feel alone.  There have been different circumstances that have made me feel like all I do is fail considerably.  I started thinking that I wasn't going to ever be able to make it through a day without dealing with these trials. I felt like I was at my limit and didn't know what I could do that would make me feel like I was on the right path.  Then during my break, at work, I was reading the Bible and this is what God gave me:


Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
James 1:2-4


I suddenly realized, my endurance was still developing!  It's something that we need to work on each and everyday.  And on top of that, God wants us to find joy in our trials, knowing that our faith is being tested.  
So I'm ready for the test God.  I only want to turn to you!
