The same is true for faith. I want to put all my faith and trust in God, but it would be so much easier without all the trials and troubles. What I've come to realize is that those trials and troubles are what make my faith grow. God is developing my character for what He has prepared for me.

Just a little change in my perspective has made a huge difference in my life. Instead of waiting ON Him (like He's a genie in a bottle), what if we decided to wait WITH Him? God is for us! He wants our best and the peace that comes with knowing He is in the room with us, He is in our situation, makes life so much sweeter.

Not just life, but life abundantly. He wants to make beauty from our ashes, joy from our mourning and praise out of our despair. When we give Him all our lives, He can do something so incredible, we could never begin to imagine. As Corrie Ten Boom said, "Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work he will give...2023-12-1320 minBeautifully BrokenBeautifully Broken Christmas Edition 28 years ago today was the hardest day I've faced in my life.

Some of us got to tell our spouse those precious words, while others of us either didn't have the time or weren't given the opportunity to say them. Goodbye has such a finality feeling to it so I think the Italian's say it best... Arrivederci, which means, 'till we meet again'. This life is full of goodbye's, but for those of us who know Jesus as our Savior, it's not the end!

There are times after they are gone that we may wonder what are we to do with our purpose or do we even have one at all!
