As I was milking this morning my mind was wondering.....How so often in life we have tribulations and valleys,stumbling blocks that seem to be in our way of growing and spreading our wings.
But what if instead of looking at them as always trials and negative things,Why not say "Lord what is it I can learn and take with me that I couldn't learn any time else.....what if every trial was like a board and we just picked it up, and every temptation was like a nail and we got to keep it when we were victorious...but then I thought my, my, before long I would be so burdened down with all my nails and boards I couldn't move...but then God reminded me in my ramblings, that He will carry my burdens...But I don't wont to forget everything I learned thru this I kinda argued with him....he gently reminded me that wont because I will need them...because every trial that we allow him to teach us some thing instead of me kicking and screaming...I was gathering valuable things that I will need...in my mind I saw a big open valley deep and wide...I looked back at Jesus and there He stood...with all those boards and nails I had been gathering thru life's ups and downs....and we built a bridge....yes I had enough boards, nails and wisdom...because all along he knew what I would need...if I didn't get it one time...he allowed another trial till I did...because He knew and He wanted me to be prepared...to step into the calling he has....my prayer is...Lord find me faithful...
