"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."
1 Peter 1:6-7
These past few weeks have been the worst of my life. My dad left to start a new life in Texas(complete with a new family) and Me and my mom are doing everything we can to make it until our house sells since we lost our main income. We currently have $130 left to our name, and just a month ago everything was fine. I can't believe how quickly these "trials" can come up. To be completely honest, this sucks, and I'm done trying to pretend like everything is cool, but I know everything is gonna be alright because of the above passage. I know this is going to be a time of huge spritual growth when I look back years from now, because I am finally surrendering everything. I realize I can't do it on my own, and to try is futile. I want to encourage you to do the same, don't be stubborn(like me) and wait til you can't bear anymore before you give it all to God.
