I really like this! It reminds me of the verses "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you" (1 Peter 4:12), and "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." (Isaiah 43:2)
Why am I surprised and worried when life isn't going exactly as I planned it? :sigh: the things I forget every day... :)
