The Hard Road

This is not the path I had in mind

These are not the troubles

I would have designed 

But my easy roads

would never have known 

The beauty your paths have shown 

so I will trust in you

Tested Faith

In the darkness, hope becomes visible

It’s the glimmer of light around the bend

In doubt, faith becomes tangible

Turning trials into a dearest friend

James 1:2-3

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance
