Simple reminders

In this journey it can be hard. Things may not go as we plan, or we even hope for. I know in many area's of my life I have hoped it would be different. Easier. But when I take the time to look back I see God at his best. Loving, teaching, and strengthening me. At times when I thought I could not make or or handle the hurt or pain, He brought me new found friendships. When I thought all was lost, and not worth the fight, He brought me joy in a kid. When I felt lonely and desperate for love, He brought me a gentle touch of a husband. When I thought I couldn't make a difference, He showed me I could.

I thank you God for the simple reminders, that You are always in control. That if I trust in you, even when it makes no sense, you are doing something in me. The hard ships we go through are meant to strengthen us, and the joys we experience are to refresh us. Thank you for always allowing me see what you have been doing, but also to remember that I don't have to see it to know that you are in control.
