Random thoughts

Why do we have to go through trials and tribulations in life?

Why do things go up and down so much?

Why oh Why does these things taunt me?

Where is my faith now?

Where has it been?

Where does it go?

Why does it wane so?

When things are going well, it’s easy to breathe.

When things go flat, it’s so hard to see.

What is the lesson? Where do we turn?

I look to Him to ease the burn.

I’m a better person they say, for all I had to pay.

I can’t help but wonder, Why me?

It’s ‘cause I can handle it, is what I believe.

Better me than somebody else.

The thoughts that taunt me I try to correct.

I know “I’m forgiven” and that’s a fact.

I do my best each and every day.

I know that I will understand someday.

SOME RANDOM THOUGHT FLITTING THROUGH MY MIND TODAY.

Mother Theresa once said, "I know God would nto give me more than I can handle. I just wish he would not trust me so much."

Those may have been random thoughts Danielle but they were great ones. Many of those thoughts have been badgering me especially over the past few months. I wonder if I am giving burdens because I can handle them or is it because I can benefit from the lessons I can learn from them.

LInda you are always in my prayers!! I think our answer is both, we can handle them and we are to learn from them. Hugs to you!!

you know as well as i that when everything is going as we want it, we forget the things we've learned along the way. If we didn't have needs, would we humbly seek council?

I am loving the book you sent me. I didn't know you knew so much about that subject. You always pleasantly surprise me. So glad we are friends. I do think that we go through trials so we "need" Him.
