In Ireland!

So ya, I made it to Ireland safe and sound. A team of 5. Me, Jimmy, Barbra, Ramona, and Luenda. We're gonna stay in Dublin for a couple days and then bus ride up to North East Ireland. We'll be staying at a missionary couple's home till the end of the month. I'm so excited to see what God is going to do. And yes I will keep you updated.
I was thinking about trials earlier today. And why we go through them. Everybody goes through a storm. No matter what! It happens to everyone. What's that verse? Where it says "don't be surprised about the troubles that face you as if something strange were happening to you" or something like that. Seriously. It happens to everyone, even good people. The question is...what do you do when the storm comes? Do you abandon ship or hang tight till the storm is passed?
Why do we go through hard times? Why does God allow it? Welp....so God's glory can be revealed. We would never know how awesome God is if there wasn't a storm in our lives. It's like a magician. How would you know if he's a good magician if he didn't make something disappear or saw a lady in half? It would be no trick if you just pull a rabbit out of a hat. You have to show the audience that the hat is empty. Think about the guy that was born blind. "Oh! How awful! Why God? Why?!?" So God can say "TA-DA! Blind no more!" When we go through a storm, watch closely. God is about to do a magic trick, also known as a miracle. God wants to get your attention because he is about to do something amazing! Don't miss it and don't abandon him. Hang tight, trust in him, and watch what he does! Just be patient. The worst the situation the greater the miracle! God can do anything! How is God going to pull you out of your storm. Are you watching closely? Abra kadabra!
