Okay I found a gem this time! This guy is a total underdog and I love that. I am not even sure how I stumbled upon him but I am beyond happy that I did. It may have something to do with the fact that i've spent 2 straight hours on youtube and 8 tracks. I have a life I swear. So if his voice isn't enough to fall in love with him let me make you aware that he is from England. So yes, he has a british accent. SWOON. I'm 150% in love with him at the moment. So it only makes sense that I share my new found love with all of you. Enjoy, I know you will.
Enduring the hardest times often forges the strongest faith James 1:2-4
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. Sometimes I find myself in really odd situations. Most of the time it's because I'm young and spontaneous. Other times it's because people make mistakes that affect other people, not only themselves. When troubles come I like to either steer clear and ignore it, or greet it head on (not greet in a good way). It's hard to take the troubling times and turn it into something positive. The worst is when your in the middle of a bad time and someone says to look on the bright side. What bright side? Oh, you must mean the one where I feel completely hopeless. Totally a bright side, I forgot! Usually I want to a.) say some not so nice words, OR b.) say some other not so nice words. I try my best to stay positive but without someone to rely on it's nearly impossible. After reading this verse today I really felt that I need to take refuge in those troubling times and endure the hardships. Having faith in God even in the hardest times is the most important weapon. I know this because I have bee gifted not so nice opportunities to be in HORRIBLE situations that advertise no hope at all. Enduring the hardest times often forges the strongest faith. I know this from experience. Next time you are stressing about something remember; this can be a chance for your endurance to grow, and a possibility for your faith to be made complete. Don't waste that opportunity. |
