Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. (James 1:3-4, NLT)

Dealing with trouble or trials is something that Christians will face yet with each trial, we have an opportunity to have joy. Joy, in itself, can turn a bad day into a good day. It can help us to get through see the sun shining through the clouds on a gloomy day.

Recently, I was faced with a decision regarding my business which would mean that I could either continue as is and not see growth in my business. Or I could make a change that may cause me to face trials of growth pains. In the end, I made the decision to make a change and I’m so glad that I did because through the trials I have come out with joy and blessings.

I know that it is not easy to face trials yet as the scripture above says, “whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy”. Smile, God loves you and will see you through your trials!

Your Friend,

You know that lately I’ve been wondering what dating is defined as now a days. You have dating that you can do in person when you meet someone locally. Then you have online dating that has websites like eHarmony or ChristianCafe that helps you to connect with others via the internet. Another way is long distance dating with someone that you met locally who then moved away.

Whichever way that you use to define dating, one must admit that dating has changed over the last twenty years. As a matter of fact, I can remember when it was part of the dating process for your date to meet the parents (regardless if you were female or male). No I’m not talking about back in the 50’s or 60’s, I’m talking about just in the 80’s.

Now, the parents are lucky if they are invited to the wedding (if one happens). Where are we headed as a nation in regards to dating and the Christian environment. We are suppose to be “peculiar”, “set apart”, or even “adopted into the kingdom” when it comes to our dating habits. Can it be that we have tried to assimilate the world into our environment to make it more comfortable for non-Christians that we have lost our flavor?

As you travel through life, the journey that you are taking may be hard at times. You might feel like you are in a boat that’s being tossed about by high waves. Or you might feel that no one is listening to you. Don’t give up hope! Just turn to God because He is your source of contentment and your breathe of life. I’ve been on a journey through the book of Joshua and God has opened my eyes to see things as I read from Joshua that I hadn’t noticed before. I want to share such a passage of scripture with you.

When the people set out to cross the Jordan, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them. Now it was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water began piling up at a town upstream called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the city of Jericho. Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the LORD’s covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by them. They waited there until everyone had crossed the Jordan on dry ground. (Joshua 3:14-17, NLT)

Have you ever wondered why the people crossed over the Jordan on dry grow near Jericho? Seeing that Jericho was the first obstacle that they had to face once they crossed into the Promised Land, it seemed strange to me when I noticed this part of the verse. But when I thought more on it, I realized that when we face a trial in our life that God won’t take us around it or move us far away from it but that he will allow us to come face to face with it. The thing about facing our trials is that God will prepare a way for us to conquer the trials. All we have to do is obey His directions that He gives to us regardless of how strange they may seem. So keep in mind that you are a mighty woman or man of valor and that God wants to bless you to take your journey to a new level.

You sister in Christ,
