Never was this truer than when standing by the side of my 45 year old dieing wife. How I wished I could switch places with her as her breast cancer snuffed the life from her bones. I went home that day and said from the knees of my bathroom.

"God - I don't like you right now..."

"But I need you... help me"

And you know what? He did.

Many blessing on you my friend.

Hey Xocai,

Thank You for sharing your story with Us. Indeed it was very touching. I'm deeply sorry to hear about your amazing wife. Its true, at times, we go through such challenging phases that it almost makes us lose hope. But the beauty of Faith manifests to those who have patience, and You saw it for yourself. I hope and pray your wife's unique soul rests in tranquility forever and God blesses You with all the Good things in this life in abundance. Amen

Welcome the challenge and take it as a chance to make a step forward

My mom always told me "that which does not kill you only makes you stronger". I believe it!

It is true that God never tests you beyond that which you can get through - however, sometimes the test is VERY HARD to work through ... be careful of the challenges - the one you don't want usually ends up being the one you get at times ... and I will say, HE is always there during those VERY HARD tests to carry you ... If HE wasn't, you definitely couldn't make it through on your own ... ♥

Once I was unable to put an end to a relationship that didn't work cos I loved that person... The circumstances sorted out "by themselves" and even though I felt all the time it was good for me, I was deeply sad...One night I dreamt of God talking to me and asking me: "What now? Why do you cry? Wasn't it what you wanted to happen??!".... Next morning I knew He was the one who sorted things up cos I was too weak.... and thanked Him.

True, then when you get a new challenge, you know that you can deal with it, because you have some experience with some of it and can apply your knowledge ..and find new and better ways of dealing with them.

@valerija, that is so true for me as well for we ask for the very challenges that we are experiencing. We may not understand it all right now or even why, but we are. This is why our feelings, our thoughts, our heart's intent are so critical in every now moment for every moment brings forth those feelings, those thoughts, that heart's intent to create our tomorrow's. God lives in our heart and knows our intent; the question is do we and are we happy with what we see in the mirror...thank you for sharing your experience Valerija.

Thank you too Dheena for sharing this msg. I enjoyed the msg and had this thought. So as soldiers let's take on those challenges, but begin turning them around to triumphs and forge forward with compassion and unconditional love...the road is paved in gold for us if and when we are ready to travel it...Peace & Love ♥

Very true. I saw 1 result yesterday when I couldn't cry, or get mad, or express an emotion. I knew that He was w/me. ; D

Well, as I am being challenged, I am learning to accept...
