(1 Corinthians 10:13)

(1 Corinthians 10:13)
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

now if you look in a commentary they use both temptation and trial in talking about this verse... if its meaning trails then either God thinks I'm strong or I should be getting a good dose of streangth soon. Oh to have my sister's spunk. Joleesa is saying "bring on the next battle- I'll get victory over that one too" I would once say to be young like my sister and just jump in but she's not so young anymore and she has had her share of battles very different from mine but by no means lesser then mine or for that matter greater then mine- battles are battles but yet its a comfort that He doesn't give us more then we can handle-if I look at myself and I look at what I am going through I know God is going to have to supply some streangth either that or He sees something in me that I don't see in myself and that is all together a whole another comfort. If I have all these promises why do I continue to battle the same types of battles over and over again... I figured that answer out tonight reading my LITTLE sisters blog...learning from your mistakes and moving on and fighting the next one- I unlike my sister seem to make the same mistake over and over again in this area... I lay the burden down but then I pick it back up, I turn it over to God but I don't completely let go...you can't fight the battle with your hands full...oh you can get on your knees and cry your eyes out and pour your soul out asking God all these things but how can you expect Him to do anything with the burdens when you don't let go long enough for Him to do anything...so if you are like me and try to give it up and yet hold on at the same time try once giving it up and holding feriously onto that victory like you once did that burden and see how much further you get...

I will be honest in saying all this I was talking to myself- and I thankful im about to close my laptop at nearly 5 am lighter hearted and ask me once I get some sleep and my eyes stop burning if im lighter minded too because right now its pounding with a headache trying to tell me that i've wasted enough sleepless hours and tears over something that I'm slowly learning God is ready to take care of and has been ready for awhile now....why can't I figure these things out in the afternoon when I've 8 wonderful hrs of sleep...

*deep sigh* forgets to tell ever one goodnight and shuts off light and closes comp......
