There will be times in our life that we seem to face huge mountains. We feel like there is no way we will ever make it through. At these exact moments our Heavenly Father is putting people and experiences in our path to help us. Or, for us to help and encourage others. We are to learn from our trials and tribulations. Sometimes the lesson is very obvious and sometimes it takes us a long time before we can look back and see what the lesson was. As I reflect back on my experience over the last 6 months, I have gained and learned sooo much. I learned that in the face of struggles I sometimes lack faith. But my family never does. I feel guilty for being ill and placing burdens on my kids. My kids however rise to the occasion to serve me . I sometimes felt so lost and afraid. I learned if I just let my heart be still and have faith, the Lord will never forsake me.
The reason I am sharing this with you is simple. When the going gets tough you need to dig deeper and know that the Lord will never leave you or give you more than you can handle. IF it seems like he has given you more than you can handle then it is time for you to be humbled. Be humbled and share your trials and struggles with your family and friends. They can handle it. They can handle so much more than you can imagine. There are lessons to be learned in all trials.
