Hello, I am Rachel Appleby and I just want to share with you today what's on my heart.
We all go thru them, some are better than others and sometimes some are worse than others. The key is that we make it thru them. Someone once asked me if I had a chance to go and change anything about my past life; I said no, and let me tell you I am no saint by any means, I have done my share of troubles and lies and other things in my life that I am not proud of. Yes there we're times that I thought and asked God, how am I going to get thru this? Please God help me with this. It seemed to be the only time I went to God , was when I was in trouble, never knowing that he was right there all the time but I was to blind to see it. Now that I am saved, I see the Obstacles that God put me thru and also most importantly CARRIED me thru. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for him. I also wouldn't know the things I know either if i didn't go thru all the obstacles that I had to face. What I am trying to say is don't look at your life as a loss, look at it as a GAIN. A gain for a test of Faith, Trust, Testimony. How can we ever be a witness to someone if we have not gone thru the Obstacles...
James 1: 2-4 says, Consider it pure joy, my (sisters) brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
