Count Trials All Joy - Rejoice!

Our family has had some trials recently, but it has been amazing to see how God has brought in our live really godly families to come along side of us to pray with and for us.  You know when you surround yourself with people who are zealous for Christ and the furthering of his Kingdom you can't help but become zealous for the Lord Jesus as well.  We have been seeing the hand of God moving in our lives a lot the past few months and it is exciting.  The Lord answered my prayer and showed me why I had been sick for many years - Celiac Disease.  The longer I am gluten free the stronger and more energized I feel.  Once I found out the Lord provided enough money to replace a lot of pots and utensils.  My husband is a gourmet cook so that is a lot of pots and utensils.:) The Lord is also teaching us to wait on Him.  Look forward to seeing how He will lead us and guide us.  Trials are tough but they are a joy as you draw near to Him and wait for His guidance and direction.  There is such peace in it.  When we get into the "I've got to fix it" mentality all that comes is drama and stress.  When we look to God and let Him work, peace comes and things gets resolve with order.  God is not the God of chaos but order.  Thank you, Lord for all that you have brought into our lives.  Thank You for godly friends that have a zeal for You.
