Out of Trials Come Blessings

As I sit here typing with a glass of Blackberry Wine from Stonehaus (which I have not had since before I was pregnant with my daughter so I'm savoring each and every delicious sip) I reminiscence of a time when were just about destitute 1000 miles away from home with 2 toddler boys and a 3 month old baby girl. I remember thinking over and over, "Why didn't the kids and I just stay home!? Why did I let my sense of adventure override my common sense!? Where do we go from here?" I stressed for about a good 20 minutes where I let my worry overtake me and started to despair. Sometimes it's so easy to get lost in worrying over things we forget that the Lord is in control of it all. Honestly when have you ever reached a solution to something worrying over it? I'm not sure about you but I've never had the Ah-ha moment while worrying over something. As humans we are prone to worrying we just need to learn to stop when we recognize we are worrying and hit our knee...
