Thankful...

I now understand how you can be thankful for tribulation. These last few weeks I've become more and more thankful for this experience because it has brought me so much closer to God then I've ever been. It's taught me a lot about myself that I didn't want to admit to, or be willing to see, before. It's taught me how truly powerful God is in our lives, even in the everyday part of life. I wouldn't want to wish on any spouse/child what has happened to us because it is hard! But in the end life is going to be sweeter for it. The joy in tribulation. There's one that will never leave us and never forsake us and I surely don't want to leave Him or forsake Him! We can come out of an experience hard or soft, it just depends how much we allow God to be in the experience... something to that affect was written on facebook yesterday... and it's so very true. Here's hoping my husband figures out the true meaning of life before it's too late for him!
