Another encouragment here also is that the tests and trials of life are assured for all, and the bible talks about the testings or trials of our faith. It always has really been obvious to me that just when you've grown in faith in some way in your life, testing time comes! We are easier to notice God intevening when we are high on the mountain of blessing, but we have a harder time in the valleys where our faith is born and cultivated. God says we should be rejoicing in the trials! We don't always heed that advice do we? ha ha! But really, if we were never in the valley's or knowing our wilderness experiences, we would not "see" as much when we are upon the next mountain, that always comes, and we would not have as much Gratitude for the faithfullness of God's promises to always keep us and be our provider. Do not worry; all things are seasonal! Amen, Kim

_{So true Kim, if we don't walk through the valley ,}

_{how do you expect us to get to the top?}

_{I've always wanted to get to the top and the only cost to that for me was to follow my rabbi, so.. i will always have struggles but!}

_{They Are good struggles! Struggles of faith.}

_{We all struggle with somekind of life experiance or drawbacks}

_{We keep getting into the same rut or we just aimlessly wonder and bump our heads really really hard lol,}

_{I'ts always best to plan ahead, take notice and watch what you do for the Lord sake and before you know it ...your climbing!! :)}

_{Thank you Nick for that relaxing post :)}

Hi Tom, Will you tell me again how to get the tool bar back so I can do more than this black letter writing. The switch editing mode above doesn't do it. Anyway, Who Fills Your Store Room? My sufficiency comes from the Lord, It's he that fills my cup, No other source do I know, That answers my needs and makes me whole, When I'm facing trouble or temptations loom, I look unto the hills from whence comes my help, My faith is the substance that gives me hope, It's the evidence God will never refuse, My Eternal hope is in Christ in me, For his presence I am never alone, No matter what the day may bring, My hope is that God is "always" with me, Even if I take the wings of the morning, And fly myself to places unknown, Or make my bed in the depths of hell, God's in me; I'm never alone, Who overcame death, hell, and the grave, And promised to reward me the same, So no matter where I wander or roam, In heaven atlast I'll be at home. So who else do you know today, That loves you so much to make you a way, to escape the powers of death and hell, And stand atlast in Righteousness? Of which without no man can see, The face of he who will stand upon, The foundations of this earth we know, In the final days when the trumpet blows, To sound the call to come up home, To those whose hearts are white as snow, When those who would not bend a knee, Who rather with the King made revalry, Are faced with the rewards of an angry God, Who for their souls waited patiently, Who even so would not accept, The Great Salvation the King had sent, By his only Son of Calvary, So be expedient as you work out, Your own Salvation that is allowed, For every man is free to choose, In whom he'll believe and trust his soul, Have confidence in your choice today, Who knows how long time will delay, And expose atlast in the final day, The One True God in his Glory, And the gods of men whose destiny's Are in the pit where lies are doomed, And all of those who've refused, This Great Salvation that if we negate, We shall have no way to escape, The final judgement of a Righteous God, And the eternal rewards of our disbelief. "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst say, Come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." (Rev:22:17) "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." "He that testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly, Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (Rev:22:18-21)
