Patience

"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold- though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world" 1Peter 1:6-7

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" Hebrews 13:8

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for what all he has done. Then you will experiece God's peace. which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live In Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7

This has been a tough summer. Unlike any other summer. God is taking me through the fire and testing me like I have never been tested. Things are happening that I cannot do on my own. I have to trust God that he knows what he is doing and that he has a plan. I am scared to death what the coming months and year will look like but I know that I serve a God who has it under control and that I can trust him. I pray that in the midst of harship that I will have a joy and peace that only God can give me. I know that it will all work out for the glory of him. Even in the midst of it all, God has given me so much. I want to take advantage of all that God had given me. I don't want to waste what he has blessed me with. I want to make the most of this summer, even though it has not gone as planned. I want to continue building friendships and enjoying the friends that God has placed in my life for such a time as this. I pray that we will go even deeper as friends.
