Barely Hanging On

Have you ever found yourself barely hanging on like this grasshopper on the glass door. Feeling yourself slipping down the glass but your trying desperately to hold on and the wind is blowing and the elements around you are getting worse. You feel as if your going to fall and no one is there to catch you. No matter what it is that you go through in life there is a purpose for it. The purpose isn't always clear to us while we are going through it because all we see is our circumstance. We have all heard many times said that god doesn't put any more on us than we can handle. Sometimes it feels like we cannot handle another feather to land on us or we will fall under the pressure of it all. God is always there with us through it all and he knows whats waiting on the other side of the storm your in. This is my favorite verses in the bible and I remind myself of them each and every day. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4. So when you find yourself barely hanging on like the grasshopper just remember that god is always there with you no matter what storm your weathering.
