I think a lot of us will let our muscles knit from this last week. Manual labor jobs are killer sometimes! But I'm so glad they exist.
I walked in on a conversation that some friends were having about maturity, and I sort of joined in.
An interesting point came up about how a job can really change you. That's true, although I can think of another really good one: Relationships. It is astounding how much you learn when a friend is having problems and you are neck deep in them. During the trials, you may think that you have no clue, that you are being immature with some things, that things are not going to be ok.
But when you come out of it, you're like "wow, I have come away with something very important". One: you now know you can completely trust God. Two: you know how to react better in the future and you can handle things better.
Alright, that's off my mind, I am going to go eat breakfast!

Isn't it amazing what happens when you let go and Trust God? (of course, to get there, you have to let go, and that is always the toughest part...)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's what we work for!! What are trials for, if we can't walk away from then stronger, better, wiser? What is it for if we don't learn something? What can we take away if we don't learn to trust God?
Glad you posted!! This is so true!!

Absolutely, it's tough in all ways of letting go...and sometimes you don't want to let go of that one thing...but you realize it's probably the best thing to do...
ReplyDeleteBut yes, it is amazing what God can teach us through these things. However much it hurts...
