It is the trials that make us grow and understand our true relationship to Him. It is not always easy but it is good. God made all things good, even our trials. I pray for you in your present trials, it must be very difficult. If we can be of any help, please let us know. I know that sounds rather empty, considering we are so far away, but there may be things we know nothing of. If you think of them, let us know. Until then, I will continue to pray for you. We are here to "bear one another's burdens" as well as "share each others joys". Love, mom It is so easy to rejoice in the sovreignty of God when all is going well.

We don't necessarily need these more right now than we did at other times, but we're certainly more aware of our need for these things (and our lack thereof!). Also that we'd look to HIM for our needs rather than to other people. Granted God uses people to meet our needs, but when we look to them rather than to Him, that's kind of confused and giving the credit for it to people rather than to Him ultimately.
