Jesus is our Perfect example of how to handle trials and tribulations.
1 Peter 2:21
King James Version (KJV)
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
How do we make it through troubling times?
-By following the perfect example of Jesus.
-By having the word of God hidden in our hearts.
-By being filled with his precious Holy Ghost that we don't thirst during those dry spells in our lives.
-By praying and fasting, which gets God's attention.
There are some Spiritual Principles we need to know and understand when trials and tribulations come.
We need to know that we are Loved.

Part One: Why Do Christians Suffer?
Philippians 3rd Chapter:10th Verse
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the Fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.
If you want my answer to the question "Why do Christians suffer? My answer is another question "Why not? CHRIST SUFFERED
Are we better than Christ?
So, Why are we so shocked and dismayed when we see trouble in the lives of God people?
Don't get me wrong, I dislike suffering for me and any one else in the world.
I have a heart for those I don't even know, I cry for people I will never see, however,
because I love them with the love of Jesus, I have compassion.
Because I believe in the True Word Of The Living God, I realize this important undeniable truth
"Suffering is a natural part of a Christian Life, it is one of the consequences of the original sin
of mankind. Man through Adam and Eve brought suffering upon himself through disobedience
and as Christians, some of the suffering we experience could be avoided if we were obedient to
God's word. I have lived this truth and know it to be true, when I look back on some of the ugly
things that happened in my life, they could have been avoided if at that time, I simply obeyed God.
Right next to all of the Joy, Peace and Blessings from on high in a Christian's life is suffering.
The word reveals in John 16th Chapter:33rd Verse:
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
If we are to make it, If we are to endure, to the end, We must know the word of God!
The Word of God will TEACH us not to be overcome but to be
OVERCOMERS!

Life Is A Vapor
Life Is A Vapor
The most important lesson I have learned about Life, is that it ends
It isn't an easy lesson and I no longer find it a difficult lesson
We are all a second away, from leaving this existence, and crossing over to the next
So, I for one, try and savor every moment I can!
Getting over things quickly that displeases me or upset me
Because, Frankly,l refuse to waste a second more, than I have to, on ugly things
I try to make the best out of every situation, good or bad it may be my last situation
Someone may mistaken my approach and call it "Consumed with dying"
It is actually the opposite, I am "Consumed with living"
Living well, Living honest, Living with faith, Living with Trust
Living with hope, Living with peace, joy and patience
Loving the unlovable, for it may be my last time to love on this earth
Yes, I learned a great lesson a long time ago
Life is like a breath of air, in a second it could be gone!
So, I don't go to bed angry, I forgive the unforgivable,
I won't say a word if it will make a matter worst
Sometimes behaving right is better than being right
My greatest victory in life is Loving My Enemies
Enemies need love too, sometimes they are the most unlovable people
Because, They have never experienced LOVE
Loving Life at its best is when the day seems so tough, you can not bear to face tomorrow
So, Those consumed with Living, Take it one day at a time, one step at a time
Till, They feel like running again
Be encouraged for those that hang in there , get to see the sun shine one more time
No time to waste, because, the most important lesson I have learned about Life, is that it ends
It isn't an easy lesson and I no longer find it a difficult lesson
We are all a second away, from leaving this existence, and crossing over to the next

I Know Why They Call Him Wonderful
I know why they call him Wonderful.
I have seen him be Marvelous
I have recognized his Amazement
Because he has never failed me
He shows up! Always right on time
I experience this everyday of my life
He is my Best Friend, has never forsaken me
My Doctor
My counselor
All I have to do is listen
You say, You don't hear him
Yet, Are you Listening
Are you standing still, so that you can hear him
The Voice Of The Lord is powerful
It directs you in a way that sometimes others do not understand
However, If you close your ears to others around you and listen to his call
You will never go wrong
Why not listen to the one that knows EVERYTHING
That controls EVERYTHING
That directs EVERYTHING
And that is why he is EVERYTHING to ME!
Love You, Be Blessed

No Time To Waste
No Time To Waste
I have no time to waste
I must act
I must perform
You may ask what?
You may ask when?
What?
Is whatever I get my hands around
I will not limit myself to anything
I must forge ahead and get things done
When?
Well, Right Now
Because I have no time to waste
Time is chasing me down
One year follows another to quickly
My Spirit is determined to suck up
All of the life I can
I want every day
Every Moment
That God has promised me
Sorrow?
I don't have time for sorrow
So, I can only give it one day
Trouble?
I have no time for trouble
I can only give it one hour
Disappointment?
I have no time for disappointment
I can only give it one minute
Hate?
I have no time for hate
I can only give it one second
You may ask why?
Why?
Well, I have no time to waste!

Honorable Woman: Words Of Wisdom And Truth: Don't Allow Abuse In Your Life
Honorable Woman: Words Of Wisdom And Truth: Don't Allow Abuse In Your Life: "Abusive Relationships My Thoughts: This is Valentines Day and I find myself thinking of all of the people right now that are in an abus..."
Don't Allow Abuse In Your Life
Abusive Relationships
My Thoughts:
This is Valentines Day and I find myself thinking of all of the people right now that are in an abusive relationship and are probably praying that today don't be more of the same. I wonder sometimes what causes someone to allow themselves to become a punching bag. I imagine that when it first started they thought that it would be the first and last time, instead it became more of the same. I hope that this Valentines that someone out there who is being abused do something to love themselves. Do what ever they need to, legally to escape the abuse. Because there is more awareness about this issue, there is more assistance for those that are victims. No one deserves to be mentally or physically abused by another and abuse and love are opposites of one another. There is something wrong with the picture of someone telling you they love you while swinging a fist at your face.
I know this is Valentines Day and we are all celebrating love, however, while we are celebrating love, let us love somebody who may need our help to understand they are precious in the sight of God and he would not want them to allow themselves to continually be abused. Help them to seek counseling, shelter and any other resources.
Statistics
From Answers.Com
Percentages of Victims Staying In An Abusive Relationship:
There are no statistics indicating how many people stay in an abusive relationship because some abused victims keep it behind closed doors (in other words 'private.') It's generally because they are fearful of reporting the abuse (laws are lax) or they are too embarrassed to admit it. Victims of abuse end up with low self esteem even though they may be successful in other areas of their life. Abuse strikes the rich, poor, famous and not so famous and all races.
