When it starts to look like things are hopeless,
I now start to get curious...
What is God doing?
I don't particularly like
trials in life;
and I admit that I do not
"consider them to be joy."
But I've learned that
when I'm in the midst of one -
to wait expectantly
to find out what God is going to do.
When looking back on trials,
I see pivot markers in my life -
something I had to go through
to work on something
in my character
or to move towards
something better
God had for me.
(James 1:2-4)
