Looking in retrospect, I think I'm pretty darned dramatic. If the time and energy I spend on worring and analyzing things would be spent on action-spending quality time with my little girl, doing more for others that REALLY matter, prayer, organizing for my family-how different my life would be today.
My pastor said some pretty moving things today. I always walk away with more questions than before. I analyze every detail of the prior week and I feel somewhat humbled. Come Tuesday, I'm back to griping about the kids crying too much, not having enough money, etc. etc. Does everybody do this?
I now see why the term "journey with Christ" is implied. Our pastor mentioned that our trials are not just to test us but to benefit others, perhaps touch others' lives. I don't have much to say about that. It was just one of those days that I walked away feeling like I can really put my trust and all my worries in His hands.

Ok, I'm not a sage, nor a muse, but I thought it sounded cool. Just me rambling about life! Let me hear about it.

I too struggle with that; focusing on the trivial, day-to-day snags that take the light off of our Lord. There are some days, I'm ashamed to say, that I forget to pray! How can I do that? Just forget the Almighty who governs the world and my life? It's just human nature I think----
You're right---"our trials are not just to test us but to benefit others, perhaps to touch others' lives.."---I try to keep in mind that God sees the big picture. He cares about our everyday happenings, but He always does what is best for you in the long run. That's SOOOO hard to deal with sometimes; I just want to give up! But then He reminds me that HE is Lord, and I shut up.
Which I will do now. :)
