Been a Long Time

Well I've been really busy and very tired and haven't made the time to write any thing in weeeeks! I just want to let you all know that I've been able to check in with all of you via your blogs and I've been lifting you up in prayer to our Great God in heaven. I'm getting ready to turn in for the night but I had to quickly share some quotes from a book I'm reading about trials. The title is Finding God's Path Through Your Trials by Elizabeth George. So good night and I hope you find these quotes to be an encouragement to your souls.

"If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem to be against us we do not believe Him at all." Charles H. Spurgeon (my favorite preacher ever)

"The effect of testing rightly borne is strength to bear still more and to conquer in still harder battles."

"Just as the stars shine brightest in the darkest night so your joy blazes brilliantly through life's worst problems when you count them as joy."

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved." Helen Keller
