There are certain seasons in life where we seem to be more alone in our walk than others. Lee and I have been in this very season for some time now. There is a quiet time that comes in each believers life. When the majority of your time is spent in introspection and meditation before the Lord. Some things cant be shared with others. This is a very personal time that is usually very intense and difficult. Daily challenges and problems can seem insurmountable. Looking on our situation from the outside, to many it would seem that we have the worst "luck" and we seem unable to catch a break in any way shape or form! This time is very crucial in our christian growth. The upside to all the adversity we experience on a daily basis is this. The cries of the righteous touch the very heart of God in a special way. To walk with him and worship him in the midst of discomfort and pain is a sacrificial thing that God treasures. The word of God says that he keeps each tear that I cry and places it in his bottle. How neat is that? Also, we have experienced a close, special communion with the Lord that is felt more intensely when in the midst of trials and tribulations of all kinds. I always hear the voice of my Heavenly Father more clearly during these times. There is a remarkable growth that comes during this time also. It is not pleasant to endure hardship after hardship. There are times when I feel that I cannot take one more day, hour, or minute of it all. But He is faithful to sustain me. His mercies are new with the rising of the sun every day.
