when all else fails...just go to bed

Trials are difficult. Sometimes I feel bad even talking about things that are hard for me, since there are so many people that have it FAR worse than I do. But as I was talking to my sister yesterday I realized so what if your trials aren't as "bad" as others..it is still your trial and it is still extremely hard for you. And that is ok. I truly believe that God is not going to make us go through something one second longer than we can handle, or one second longer than it takes to refine us. After all, diamonds are formed through extreme pressure. 


Sometimes the pressure feels like too much..but I have a feeling it will all be worth it in the end.


And when all else fails...just go to bed. :-)
