Trials

Sometimes the hottest part of the fire comes when we have to accept that we don't always know how to grow.

People ask me "What did you learn from that trial?" I don't know how to answer. I don't know what I was supposed to learn.

I wish I did. I tried to find out. I begged God to show me. For a year I waited on Him to reveal what He was doing back in that dark tunnel I walked through. It would have made the suffering so much more tolerable, to be able to point at something specific that I learned because of it.

But God doesn't always grant us that insight.

So we just look up and press on.
