moving ahead through the storms

We all go through trials and tribulations but the good thing about that is God gives us His love, grace and the ability to connect with Him to gain strength through it all.  We need to see the good and the bad and we should never stop trusting the Father.  All bad things are not always bad because most of  the time, we cause our own stress.  It's when we don't put Him first in our lives or whatever is when we get weak.  I've done it plenty of times and when that happened, my life was a mess.  I still have things that I'm working on but it's one day at a time.  We all have problems but the key is working on them and knowing that when we go through things, it's really a wake up call and a blessing because it helps us to be humble and to see that we can't do it by ourselves.  Our calling is to awaken each day and thank God for another one, walk the journey allowing God to hold our hand and whatever we encounter along the way, accept still and appreciate the grace.  We're here to bring hope, to help people to see the light and to embrace everyone.  To love, to forgive, to have patience and to bring peace are virtues that will take us places through the good and the bad. We can't forget about what's important and if we lose that wisdom, we're not going to have peace.  Our relationship with God is so important because it's temptation all around, others trying to make the calls and when we utilize what God has taught us, we begin to live.  It's all a choice so when trials and tribulations come our way, let's talk to God and refresh our  relationship so we can stay connected, gain strength and able to get through the storms one day at a time. Amen and Thank  You Lord
