Trials

These past few years have been a blast, but there have been many trials I have had to face. Some financial situations, grades, and personal trials have happened. What has helped me this year, is my prayer life, and realizing that I am the clay, and God is the potter, and he is shaping me while I am here to be like His Son. The most I have learned here is that I need to depend on him, or I will fall. There was a time in my life before I went to Bible school that things blew up in my life, and when I should have turned to God, I strayed far away, and fought with him about going to Bible School. I was stubborn towards Him, until I dug my heels in. At that point He kept turning the heat on in my life, until I gave up and said "Fine! I'll go!" I had to learn that fighting with God will never work, He will ALWAYS win. I have been growing so much here, and I don't want to go back to what I used to be. 1 Peter 5:10 - And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. This has helped me, as I know that whatever happens, God is in control, and he will establish me, and help me through it all.
