Just a thought on trials. Lately I've had a doozie of a one, and have spent most of my days begging for it to leave, maybe I need to adjust my prayers and instead of praying for the trial to leave, maybe pray for strength, patience, and perseverance instead! I don't believe the man upstairs gives us our trials, this is a imperfect world for heaven's sake, trials just happen as a result of it's imperfection, but I do believe he chooses the way he helps us through our trials. He knows what will make us stronger, more refined, and a better people all together. I love this picture, we spend so much time endlessly climbing life and forget to look at the beauty above us!
