Comments on: Good things can come out of bad times http://www.seabourn.org/good-things-bad-times/ Connecting you to ministry around the globe Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:56:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Em http://www.seabourn.org/good-things-bad-times/comment-page-1/#comment-333 Em Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:02:12 +0000 http://www.seabourn.org/?p=339#comment-333 I never saw the economic pressures until lately. It wasn't until I experience them myself that I begin to feel the pinch of how great life is when we have full financial capabilities. I have been in several situations lately that force me to feel the crunch. I always try to trust that it will be for better and keep my heart and mind focused on God. And during the tough times, I think that one of the greatest ways to give, is to keep a Godly heart in the midst of atrocity. Be kind, be respectful, act maturely, and accept the fact that God is in control. I pray that this is a trial I will pass. It is finals week at my University, my roommate didn't pay her rent, my son's father didn't pay his child support, then my car overheats and needs to be fixed, then my car battery goes dead and needs to be replaced, then I lose my cell phone (and am still praying that it will be found), then there is a mouse hiding out in the garage, and my only intention is to continue to be a woman that responds to all of this in a way that God would be proud of. *All prayers would be greatly appreciated..!* I never saw the economic pressures until lately.
