problems?

on sunday the preacher in the midday service told us that problems in our lives are there for specific reasons, whether to guide us or perfect us...

a problem came up yesterday that will potentially affect whether i will be able to keep my job...actually, it could affect my career on a whole. i want to be sad. i want to cry about it. but i cannot and will not. this problem is only a light affliction.

the "God squad" and i declared this to be the "manifest year." already things are beginning to manifest in our lives. all we have to do is to continue to look ahead to see the hand of God at work in our lives...

this problem is only here to perfect me...may we all be able to see our problems as stepping stones to higher heights...
