'...despit...If I may finish the last thought... '...despite trials, tribulation and setbacks.' Something I was never taught by my mentors, but am learning now as God's child, is that building a faith relationship that stands testing is also a matter (for me, anyway) of hard work and determination. Others tell me I'm trying too hard...to let go and let God. That does sound like it could be a truth...and so much easier! Until I achieve that easy height of faith, however, I will hang on with determination to the trust in Him that I've found more precious than the best of anything else I've had or known. Porsche? Lincoln? Trusting God while driving a beat up Ford Focus is better. Career? Money to spare? Trust in Him while disabled and broke is better. I had to come to this low place before I could tear my attention from other, lesser goals to instead seek His face. Still a relative newbie and without the drive of a Todd White, my walk in Christ is as humble as my means. Until I can honestly say I feel all my needs are met by Jesus I will doggedly contend for my faith and trust in Him...trials, tribulations, and setbacks notwithstanding.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653900346732224434noreply@blogger.com
