So, a prayer mail and updates has been bouncing around an organization I'm loosely affiliated with, and this one guy has been having some tough times and seems to be emerging stronger for all the pain he's gone through. I thought about that, and I thought about my own life, and the life of most of the strong christians I know all went through some pretty tough times before emerging as the strong, resilient, tough, capable (whatever describes them best) person they are now.
Do you think maybe God puts us through times of trouble to toughen us up for the bigger fight? Kinda like a boot-camp or infantry position to give us training and experience before letting us move up into Special Forces?
One of the motto things I've come up with over the last year or so is "When Life has you down just remember, first you have to be lost to be found". So think about that as Life tries to sucker-punch you into a ditch.

This Blog is meant as a Journal of my travels and adventures in the hopes that someone might read them and find some interest in my life. My wish is to leave a Legacy of myself, and to reach out to that unknown mission field callled the Internet, and to all those who, either by choice or force, hide from those who could help them.

You have a lot of mottos. =P Skip the mottos and write a book instead. It is very clear you can't contain your life in one sentence, haha. If you do write a book, I have to read it FIRST
Maybe I'll just let you write the book =P
I don't think God puts us down to get us to toughen up.
I think the world makes our lives hard.. and although it's hard to- you can see it through somehow.
Moving on.
I hope you are doing okay. :]
