The i...I once saw an object lesson given at church. The instructor took a ping-pong ball, drew a smiley face and placed it into a jar. As the class listed trials that we may face in this life, she poured wheat over the top of the ball until it was completely covered. She sat the jar on the table and continued her lesson. Through the side of the jar I could see a small portion of the ball. I felt smothered. I tried to wish that ball to the top. I couldn't think of anything else. I knew that if she would just pour some water into the jar the ball would float right to the top. There are many things in life we have to deal with. Many hard and challenging trials, each having the power to make or break us. To tear us down, smother and bury us and keep us from our eternal goal, or to teach us, challenge us to grow and become a step that will bring us closer to our eternal goal. That trial becomes a step by having faith in the Lord and his plan. Accepting the challenge so that He may take the burden of it from us. By pouring the water of faith and obedience over our lives our challenges cannot hold us down. We will be brought to the top and can overcome all. <br />ShereeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625310273755966826.post-67495618014376400132009-06-13T13:19:52.375-06:002009-06-13T13:19:52.375-06:00Hey Jodi, I am so glad that today was a better day...Hey Jodi, I am so glad that today was a better day. I don't have internet so Brandi has been keeping me posted on your condition. I am using my moms computer to send you a little message because I don't want you to think I don't care. I think about you every second, and I know that you can do it. You are a strong amazing person. When you are home and feeling better, I will come visit you. I hope you continue to have good days and just know that I will be praying for you every second. <br />Love, Emily SwalbergEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360457447757067503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625310273755966826.post-34781761246733789942009-06-13T11:43:00.444-06:002009-06-13T11:43:00.444-06:00Jodi,

He's gotten so good in his reporting of your medical refiner's fire :=)<br /><br />Talking about Tolan's wild Lagoon rides, our neighbor had their second baby by the Kahalu'u Hygienic Store a couple days ago.<br /><br />She couldn't make it to all the way to the Moanalua hospital. They had to pull over by the banyan tree where the "druggies" hang out. That's one place I never want to stop unless I have to, in my opinion. The baby came out still in the amniotic sac.<br /><br />Both mom and infant are doing excellent. They should have a big discounted medical bill since the baby wasn't delivered in the labor room and no ob doc :=) We think his middle initals should be H.S. for Hygienic Store!<br /><br />All the best to you always.<br /><br />Choon James from HawaiiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625310273755966826.post-12667710493103938262009-06-13T11:19:44.852-06:002009-06-13T11:19:44.852-06:00WaHOOOOOOO!!
