Topic: Life
I've been learning a lot lately about trials -- two bible studies, my great-great-great-great grandfather's journal and my great-great-great aunt's bible notes that I've been reading -- it all seems to point to this: pain is something to learn from, not to run from. If life was supposed to be hunky-dory, maybe it would be. And if I had chosen to run away from pain and trials in my life, I would have missed out on some important lessons. So I stick to it, every day, and thank God for the things He's teaching me. And I'll be a better person for it -- maybe not "happy" in this life, but content.
