1. What difficulties have you faced in the past? How did God use those times to shape you?
Praise the Lord I have not faced too many difficulties. My biggest difficulty by far was finding a loan to pay off my creditors. I had just had a new baby. I didn't have a job. I had no idea what I was going to do. There was a lot of prayer and fasting. God used this time to completely depend on Him. And now we are only a couple weeks away from making our final payment on this loan!!!! Hallelujah! It has really shaped me and made me grow up and take responsibility for my choices. I now feel I must warn those entering college without a real plan or someone who really has your back. In fact I would chose against going to college at all if I could do it again.
2. What situations are you currently facing that seem hopeless? How do you see God silently working to get you through them?
I am not facing any hopeless situations right now. I am, of course, facing choices every day, but I am trusting God that I will find an okay job and save enough money to retire. I am recently feeling very selfish so I hope God will provide so that I may be generous with my money and any other resources He gives me. I don't feel special any more and I am okay with that. God will reveal His work in me at the end of time.
3. Sing Fanny Crosby's hymn "To God Be the Glory" as a way of thanking him for working behind the scenes in your life.
