I have seen many trials and tribulations in my 61 year journey. It was not until I submitted to the will of God that I was able to deal effectively with these challenges. Trials and tribulations have made me strong in the Lord. I realized that I could not triumph over them if I relied on my own strength. It was only through relying on the power of God that I was able to have victory. I am faced with challenges every day but now I count it all as Joy.
