We are traveling down two tracks like a train throughout our life. The one track is the track of hardship. There is just no way to avoid those hard times that we all face like loosing loved ones to death, broken marriages, financial set backs, illness, etc.
We also are also traveling down a track of peace, joy, and victory through Jesus Christ.
In the following verses we can get a glimpse of these two tracks;
"These things I (Jesus) have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." ( John 16:33 NAS )
"Peace I (Jesus )leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. (John 14:27)
“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” ( Romans 8:37 )
“But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:5 )
"For this reason I ( Paul )also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.” ( 2 Timothy 1:12 )
This subject speaks to me so much as I consider that troubles and hardship are a part of life for all humanity. But we as Christians have the Holy Spirit that is always helping us to triumph over all these troubles we face. We were never promised a life free from suffering and hardship, but we do have a promise that he will never leave or forsake us in this journey. (Hebrews 13:5 )
I know that what ever I may have to go through in my life, that God will be with me and help me to find His help in my time of need.
I have gone through some stuff that I though was going to crush me by the weight of it. I have gotten to the place where I had almost given up all hope, yet in the midst of my suffering there He was helping me to go on.
Just like Job, God hasn't told me why I have had to go through such hardship in my life. But I choose to use it all as stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks.
I Have known the faithfulness of the Lord, therefore I can face my future with a since of optimism, hope, peace, and confidence.
“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” ( Philippians 4:13 )
Let us move forward on the two tracks of life with confidence, and trust in our God.

Hello Katherine,
Ho ware you?
I am Paige another moderator here on the Net. I dont think we have met so I just wanted to stop by,say hi, and introduce myself. I really like your page and your story with God. It is amazing how God works and when He does. I had to really hit the bottom hard to be willing to recieve Him and to trust Him with my life. I was such a mess that I didnt htink there was any hope. Well, I guess there was because now I am a different person. Im sure He has transformed you hasnt He? How long have you walked with Him? I have been His ofr 9 years and He keeps refining me throughout the years to be able to shine like Christ and do what He wants me to do. But anyway, I better stop now because I could go on and on. So, anyway, I hope to get to know you soon. You sound like a awesome person and a passionate woman of God. And by the way, I love shoes! I love purses and I have a major candle fetish! I also paint and draw for a liiving. You can see some of my stuff on my page too. God Bless,
Paige

In the love of Jesus

Kathrine I pray for you today that you will lay all your burdens down at the foot of the cross. Isaih 61:3 says that He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for morning and a garment of praise for a spirit of heavieness. It is and exchange at the foot of the cross.

I have been praying for the Lord to give you grace and uphold you today. You are in the potters hands and he is shaping and molding you into something beautiful for himself a vessel for himself, Bless you this day my sister.
