well since I have chosen to respond to the call to life, the trials are intense sometimes and it seems overwhelming, however before I knew Him many of my trials were a result of my own actions (I was reaping what I had sown) but now the trials serve a purpose much greater then just as reaction to an action, but rather they serve to teach and guide me closer to what our beloved Savior has called me to be, and they strengthen my faith and trust in Him, also I can be a blessing to others by giving my testimony based on what He has brought me through, now when I am pressed with trials I pray, and am strengthened to fight another day, or minute or hour, the biggest difference is although he was always with me, (or I would be dead) I am now with Him and I see the operation of His hands in my life, and all those in the sphere of my influence, anything good you see in me is Him in me.
