hey now..

we notice what we are going through that others are facing.

We all have challenges. Not just those of us in the faith.

All things work to good and there is good we can be through it all, regardless of the present difficulty.

Looking back on trying times has always been valuable and also a good tempering for perspective in the good times.

Hope you find peace with it and find the good.

Been there, done that...many times over (had life COMPLETELY fall apart). Just thankful I've been able to live to tell about it. Although, not quite sure how. Other, than the belief there had to be something better...somehow, somewhere.

Isac, Yes many of us are burdened. All of us are/or have been burdened at diff. times of our lives. Being christians doesn't exempt us from going through rough times. Many of us go through things I don't think we would've HAD to go through, had we made diff. choices, and therefore we face consequences....

I look at it like I'm trying to be a better person than I was the day before. I ask God to help me to not make the same mistakes and to give me strength to stay focused on HIM so that I won't make those dumb mistakes again.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe the hardships I'm going through is because of my own dumb choices, where I had chosen not to follow the ways of the Lord after my marriage broke up.... and coming back around in the last yr. (after the 2 1/2 yr.separation/divorce) God is bringing me slowly to the recognition of what I need to do to get back the victorious life I once had "IN HIM"

Does that mean I will never struggle or be burdened? Absolutley not.... but by my faith in God I will make it through anything. God is good and faithful to be by our side even through the hard times.
