Two weeks in, Day 14

Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate your trust in Me. Bearing your circumstances bravely- even thanking Me for them- is one of the highest forms of praise. 

Do not try to run from pain or hide from problems. 
Joy emerges from the ashes of adversity through your trust and thankfulness. 


I love spending Sundays at home in Hendersonville. This weekend was full of joy. "Joy" was doormats, tiny fake Christmas trees, pork chops, stacked wood, and ice cream in laps.
I was talking with mom while she was making dinner and reading to her the devotions from the day I got my job offer and my first day of work, they were of course scarily on point. 
Our talk came around to how in the big picture scheme of life this was all suppose to happen. 100% I believe that.
Just like how my house stayed on the market for seven months after I first looked at it, with potential buyers always falling through for some reason. 
I've started to embrace pain and problems [wouldn't go as far as to say "love"] it makes me excited to see what's coming on the other end of that life crisis.
