Whats your crucible?



All morning I had been thinking about the journey that Scott and I are on to conceive, with almost 4 years in its way to easy to get discouraged. Ya know though God has a way of well being God (haha) and I have no doubt that he aligned things today so that my faith would be restored. When I got out of the tanning bed and back into my car, I caught the last little bit of the message below on 106.9. Like I said I just caught the last little bit but what I heard went something like “We all have a crucible that is in our lives it could be I’m a single parent or a number of things like we are trying for children…that thing, the crucible in your life is the very thing God wants you to praise him for!” At first I was like umm no I didn’t just hear that, and then there was a peace in my heart and I knew that I was in-fact meant to hear this message. Once I got home I did what I have always been taught to do, which is read the scriptures for myself and I did, I also listened to the message a few more times. I talked with Scott about it, and I took notes LOTS of notes!  Ephesians 5:20 says: “Give thanks always for all things to God the father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. I’m sure this message can help someone else! For me as a believer it really opened my eyes and my heart about the things that I’m willing to let God be in control of in my life! I encourage you all to listen to this message and then do like I did and read the scriptures for yourself! We all really do have a crucible in our lives and although the choice of praising God for it is not an easy task, I’m sure I was meant to hear the message so that I would change my praise, and thus my situation will change, one last tidbit I gathered from this message was “You will know your faith is in the right place when you choose to praise God in all times for all things!”


Small side note I had initially intended this post to be a Facebook status update but then remembered I have a blog! haha and I can make my post on my blog as long as I want and they can be about anything I want...with the added bonus that is someone doesn't want to read it then they simply don't have to click the link to my blog! And so here on the blog this post has landed its really a win win! Is this a come back to the "blogger world"? Guess we'll all have to wait and see! ;)
