Day 24

Affirmation:

Ok so this last year we have had some adversity... actually let's rephrase that... so over the last year we have a lot of adversity (that's more accurate!)... and we are facing more... seperately and together, but basically no matter what my adversity is your adversity and your adversity is my adversity... because for this season at least (and hopefully eventually for always) we're stuck together... what's yours is mine which unfortunately has included problems as well as triumphs in the last year! But the best part of that has been the moments not when we've fallen into the others troubles but when we have been a strong support  for the other person when they were unable to be for themselves. I think we have been learning so much in the last year about how we react to adversity and how to react better, but also how to react better to each other's adversity... and i think this has made and is making us a stronger team. I just wanted to tell you in the midst of my adversity there is no one else i would rather have by my side, i really feel like I have been so blessed by God bringing you into my life~ 

Prayer:

Strength, love, understanding, calm, grace, and peace when engaging in one another's adversity and our own! That God would show us the way to take and the strength and courage to do it even when things get difficult. Work. Clarity about all things future. A sense of home. Housing costs.... 

Encouragement:

Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

1 Peter 1:6-9 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
