Trials and Triumphs

So things have been a little crazy lately! There is so much to do in so little time, ya know?
But its good to be busy--to an extent, right?
If I weren't busy and keeping myself in check I would be "bored..."
Ewww! That's what that word "bored" reminds me of. Eww!
Life has it's ups and downs, and right now I can't be more thankful for all of the people I have in my life.
I have come to realize, the LORD gave me all of these people for a reason, even the difficult ones... lol
I got to thinking today, if I didn't have those challenges that people bring upon me, I don't think my faith would be as strong as it is now. I need that push- that challenge!
There has just been a bunch of foolishness around in the air. In my opinion, foolishness is VERY contagious...
Its definitely been in the air here, where I am.
I have had that true test of faith.
Trials! I have almost come to like that word. Weird huh?
I heard from a very smart man one time, if you pray for trials to not come our way, whats going to sharpen us to depend on the LORD and have a stronghold with the LORD himself?
I prayed for trials, and I got them.
Yes, I knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but now that I look back, I am really blessed to have them.
Psalms 34:1
Look it up!
He really is an awesome GOD!
He has also given me that leg up, if you know what I mean *wink wink*
Mandy only has 3 days left until Olivia gets here! Yes us girls have been sooooo excited!
Since I live next door to them, and she is having a home birth I am gonna be there!
Olivia is gonna be the closest thing I have as my little sister, and Kelsey of course!
So I am pretty excited about that too!
So I guess this is the part in my life that I can label "Trials and Triumphs for Taylor."
Suitable name, huh?
lol
I hope that whatever your going through right now, you use as a blessing, or a sharpening tool.
Whatever goes wrong or whatever goes right, His praise will always be on my lips. Will it be on yours?
In CHRIST always,
