It's been a long time since I posted a blog.  A lot of things have happened these past few months a lot of which has been discouraging and disappointing.  But I am coming around full circle, continuing to learn that inspite of everything I still have God on my side.  We all have upsets in our lives we just have to learn to trust God with everything not just with the things we think we can't handle.  Trusting Him with everything leaves no room for error.  Often times we start out believing that we have everything under control and that the decisions we are making our the best and find out later that we could have done a lot of things differently.  We're all human and we can only learn from our mistakes.  
Just remember....
      We automatically receive the promises of God when we trust our Savior.  We are lifted out of the class of "guilty sinner" and placed in the class" justified by His blood".  What we experience is God's discipline--not His punishment.  What is happening to us is a loving Father's way of training us into righteousness.  Hebrews 12 reminds us that God disciplines us out of love (12:6), and while that "no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yeilds the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" (12:11).  We have been saved from God's wrath.
