Just getting started

Hello all! This is my first day of this and I wanted to share things with you.

This past week I have been thinking about why God allows us to go through so many trials and challenges. It seems sometimes that we always want what we can't have. Two years ago we had something come up concerning Rachel's Awana program. She was not going to be allowed to be in the program that year because of her d-day. Since her b-day is Oct 15th she was going to have to wait until the next year. So went were sent across the street to a Baptist church who also had an Awana program. I was so furious about that and my attitude wasn't a good one.
So after she WAS excepted over there and loving it I stared seeing that God was working on my heart. The women were hosting a bible study dealing with the Heart and so I joined. Like I said Iwas so upset that it was hard at first, but after 2-3 weeks God softened my heart.
After being there for 2 years I can truly see how my attitude and my wants would've hindered my getting to know these awesome women and Rachel fully succeeding in her class. In fact she was the only one who recieved an award for being there the entire year. We are so proud of her!

So anyway I have truly realized how much I need to rely on God's plan and not my own. We can't always see the big picture because we are so small. So the verse that I have really put in my heart this year is:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do and he will show you the right way. Never think you are wiser than you are; simoly obey the Lord and refuse to do wrong. Proverbs 3:5-7
