Life is always throwing challenges at us. It's too big a force, no one is immune, and trusting God is what works. Mother Theresa said, "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much."
The expression "Where He leads me," is not something to which I just pay lip service. It is, in fact, exactly how I live my life, on a daily basis. So far, I am happy to report, the Lord has never led me to the wrong place, including when he led me to the interior of Russia where I found my adopted daughter Maggie, or when He led me to Guatemala, where I found my wonderful children, Molly and Tate. Even through the diagnosis of a brain tumor, when I literally fell down many times, He always lifted me up.
From the beginning to the present, through terrible losses, He has been with me. When I was 14 and my father left my terminally-ill mother and me alone, nobody else was there for me except the Lord. And His love, support and guidance made all the difference. No matter WHAT life threw at me, no matter how strong the wind force, I was a willow tree, bending but never breaking because of Him. Even today there are many obstacles and disappointments, but as I have come to realize, I may not know what the future holds, but I do know who holds my future.
Even if life seems like one big, long challenge, you can turn it around. You can find happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, and success. The difference is attitude.
