Where in the world have you been?

Where have I been? Oh...it would take too long to tell. You know how when you stop doing something how it becomes harder and harder to start again? Oh, like exercising, or studying, or devotion time. Blogging has been the same way. I will say that I am going to try and start posting again!

God has been so good to me and my hubby. We have been going through a trial for over a year, and I think we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Praise the Lord! What have I learned through it all?

• God gives you little blessings along the way to let you know He hasn't forgotten you.
• We need to learn a LOT more patience than what we have already.
• Just when you think you have this trust thing worked out, something else comes along to really get you to review your trust in the Lord.
• Praying for others going through similar trial makes you feel like you are not alone in this.
• Just when you think you can't hang on any longer, He gives you that extra strength you need, or the light at the end of the tunnel is right around the corner.

When I look back on all this, I wouldn't have it any other way. My faith has increased and my love for Him has too. But also, I see more the areas in my life that need serious prayer and attention. I may have never seen them without the trials.

Where have I been? On a long hard road with my Father right by my side. Praise God!
