Raine, it is hard. I try to keep reminding myself through each trial, that through them I will be changed a little bit closer to what God has called and created me to. He continues to work in my life, even though this flesh wants to whine and complain and at times even eat and be lazy in my tribulation. I do fall and fall hard, self pity is a hard sin to overcome and I feel that we honetly will never completely will in this earth walk, but with each trial we do learn and die a little more to self. The closer I am to HIM the more I learn and the eaiser the trial...it is when I am in sin that the trial over takes me and self runs my world.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance because every day, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from God.
