Sorry,wrong spot.

muah..........

I just happen to do something in my Bible Study class today that so fits this situation I just had to share......

For anyone that is going through trials and tribulations.....

God never allows or appoints a fire (trial) unless He can bring beauty from the ashes (bad) We cannot avoid fiery trials.

What from can these trials take? Any kind of trial or test.

Whatever the reason, the purpose of refinement is always to may us objects (vessels) of beauty.

Our primary purpose of fiery trials is to surface the dross (impurities)

We cannot often refuse the fire, but we can refuse to be refined by it.

Sometimes our trials are absolutely necessary to fullfill our callings.

The ultimate goals of the Refiner (God) is to see his reflection in the precious metal and or dross when the impurities are wiped away.

I miss you already Vanessa....come back to us soon...and if you need me for anything at all....im an e-mail away.
