unwelcome hardship...

the girl had been experiencing reactions to that which she did not wish to do. the only thing she could do was persist. the girl hoped it would end soon...

A revelation of sorts...

The girl had been convicted. How should one correct a negative attitude? There did not seem to be a "reasonable" conclusion in her mind. Eventually the girl stumbled upon a book. It was not the holy word of God, but it did speak of it. The girl decided to sit a spell and wander the volume placed in front of her. In it were these words: "Proverbs 14:8, 'The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways.'" What a simple yet compelling thought! The girl then decided to pray and ask God to help her be a prudent person, hoping that this attitude of negativity would one day be resolved.

...when trials arrived...

...the girl was once accosted with a trial that seemed to sap her very strength; she prayed that God would relieve her of this.....

In the begining.....

....there once was a girl who had it all: the husband, the home, the job, the car, the friends, and the family. You know what she thought about all of it? She thought God had blessed her beyond all her hopes and dreams. What an amazing God!
