I thought that I was gonna miss this week's SS topic! Well, I can't help it but I'm always glad to contribute to Sweet Saturday Meme because this helps me and a lot of other women in their marriage. And I'm sure that this is not only about sharing ups and downs in one's marriage but also about being able to learn from other's experiences as well. So much about this introduction, let me start talking about this interesting topic - 'Trials'.
I know that everyone, married or not, do encounter trials in life and relationships whether we like it or not. It's just part of our lives that can't be avoided.
In my relationship with hubby, in the first few years of being together, it was tough having to face hardships yet we regard trials as a way for us to be stronger together. Thinking of the fact that our cultures differ, as well as our different personalities, trials will likely occur. It was hard for us at first, but as we know, trials will just ruin relationships if we allow it. And so, we worked things out together when difficulties come our way. One thing I learned in our marriage, that if we are facing trials, all we need to do and best to turn to is God. I'm just so blessed that in the course of our relationship, we learned to take our burdens to Him because it just make us down and depressed. My husband may be a pastor, but he also feels what it is to be challenged by trials especially in our relationship. And I thank God that prayer binds us closely to each other. I love the feeling of crying in prayer than crying in hopelessness. There was this time when I saw my husband crying too while saying our prayers and from there I know that this relationship will always triumph over trials because God is our source of strength and a hand in need. Right now, I'm truly grateful of being in this relationship with hubby and even though, I know that there are more challenging trials ahead of the way... we are not worried because God is greater than that. There's nothing to worry about. Just give all the worries and cares upon Jesus.
As to what Jeremiah 32:27 says, "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?" So there, if anything comes our way, no matter how hard it could be, there's God who can help us. Amen!
i like what you said that it's good to cry out to God than to cry in hopelessness :) it relieves us of our worries, sadness or any negative feelings.
ReplyDeleteit's true no one is exempted from trials. the only difference now is that we know that God is with us whenever we face trials in life.
thanks for sharing again for this topic. ()hugs))

ReplyDeleteHello Ronadelle.
ReplyDeleteSorry if it took me awhile before I could visit your blog/s again. I have been so busy in school since August and internship in the restaurant that I am in for two weeks now takes so much for my time and energy that I don't have much time to blog and even visit FB. I try to update my blogs from time to time but blog hopping is something I rarely do these days. Sorry about that :)
I am so happy to hear that despite the trials, you and your husband's relationship's still going strong. I know that you both love each other that much and that you'll hold on no matter what.
You have a great day! Hugs!
