Arriving at work, I put my lunch bag in the refrigerator, fired up the computer and entered my logged on. The phone
rang. "This is Ms. Swanson," I told the caller.
"Yes, right away." I hung up the phone, reached for my keys and
raced downstairs asking God to provide what I need from the spiritual realm. I
wasn’t sure what I would run up against. A policeman was
at my car writing a ticket. One of the sergeants’ saw my handicap placard
on the seat and called me to come down quickly. While racing to the car, I

Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say. I'm not in that situation right now. There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits. Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs. Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows. He won't have you guessing long. The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before.
