Broken Hearted.

Earlier in the week I decided to go back to blogging and keeping an online journal of sorts to be able to share my journey with who ever may be watching/wondering.

Within twenty-four hours of making that decision, I got news that shook my little world yet again.

Broken hearted I immediately wanted to turn around and ask God why. Why does he continue to let these things happen, but then I stopped myself.

I was reminded of the bible story of Job. Job loses everything. He is put through intense trials and yet it says in Job he refused to curse God. In Job 2:9 it describes a conversation had between Job and his wife where she advised him to curse God and die rather than living with the pain and difficulty he was experiencing- to which he replied telling her how foolish that was to even suggest.

After losing everything and being disease stricken Job still had astounding faith in The Lord and whatever he had planned for Jobs life.

God is really an awe-some, loving father who knows what his children need when they need it. This was exactly what I needed to be reminded of tonight, I need to be reminded to trust God even when i can't see what he is doing. It is only by the grace of God have I come so far from the places of heartache and brokenness I have in the last few years, and it is comforting to know that even though this week has been challenging, even though trials still come my way- I know my Heavenly Father has his hand on me and I will continue to look to him and trust his plan for me not only in good times but in times of trial as well.

My prayer for the coming months in dealing with the news I received this week is for strength and for solid unshakable faith in my Savior.
