What a weekend, probably one of the top in a long time. Hubbie and I had a night away without any kiddos. The Hilton, shopping, eating, bubble bath, movies in bed. Wow what a blessing and so needed, could it get any better?I ask you, could it? Yes, and it did.
Being a Pastor, DIM was called upon by another to come and teach in his pulpit. I was reminded so clearly that God has purpose for our lives that is never what we expect. I watched, heard and experienced the word of God through my husband as he shared from his own heartache, lessons and pain that our Heavenly Father allowed, out of love. Do you know what I saw as my husband broke down in front of a crowd of people? I saw, a transformation take place before my eyes. I saw my darling become so strong, through weakness. He was lifted back up by the hand of God, to remind Gods children of the truth. He first had to experience it though.
Yes, there will be great loss. Yes, there will be trials you cannot even fathom. Yes, there will be pain, sickness, failure, back stabbings, you name it the list goes on..... but, that isn't the point. The point is, He has overcome the world and that means your world too. Will you still choose to serve Him? Better yet, when you choose to fall to the ground and not get up. Will you let Him lift you, for His purposes?
I guess to the world this is all nutty, so it still fits into my blog title. For us who believe, we're to think it not strange when the trials come. In other words don't act so surprised?! Yah, without the Spirit it is nuts.
Trials are Blessings!
