James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers & sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature, complete, not lacking anything. James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him. — TRIALs! — Joshua 1:9 Be strong & courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go! — This is key! No matter what is going on, God is always with us! Love Mel
