Praise God, in the good times and the bad.

It's amazing some things we go through. It's sometimes a slap in the face some of the things that happen. It's all to grow in our faith.(James 1: 2-4) At times, we can't believe that, I know I can't. Especially with something that just happened recently. I don't remember my reaction to half of what I do go through, but I know I need to start praying more, and thanking God for what he is putting me through.
I really liked Pastor Tom's messages on James when he did it, and I am going to try and find some of the sermon notes.

Psalm 42:11 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

So I continued from last night because after a day my thoughts seem more organized making it easiser to write and stuff like that. But its just amazing how much I sit here and complain about what I am going through when Christ suffered the most, on the cross, so I could cry out to God about the problems I have.
He is amazing and praise Him!

didn't we just talk about this a couple nights ago? i get so caught up in wondering why the heck God is doing this to me instead of realizing i deserve hell... and not only that but God is doing it to draw me closer to himself. Why do i think that somethings are better than that? it's hard to have a childlike faith
