Well my last post about the Refiners Fire was all too true. Elizabeth is really feeling the heat as she is on this basketball team. It is pushing her further than she has ever gone. Since I have experienced life I know she will come out of this and learn something from it, but she cannot see that. And I understand because there are some lessons in life we can only learn through our own experiences. 
Being a parent has taught me more and more about God and the patience He has for us. When I look at her and tell her that she will get through this and she doubts my words am reminded of the complaints I send Heavenward when things are going wrong. I know my Father is telling me that I will come off conqueror but it is hard to know that without experience.So I guess I am grateful for my trials, and am very grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who will listen and will bring me peace. I hope that with His help we can bring that peace to Elizabeth.
" Now it came to pass that not many days after the battle which was fought in the land of Zarahemla, by the Lamanites and the Amlicites, that there was another army of the Lamanites came in upon the people of Nephi, in the same place where the first army met the Amlicites."
I
would think that these Nephites had to ask why two battles in one
year. They had not even recovered from one when another was upon them.
And yet they did not give up and somehow with the grace of God they
conquered. I need to remember that in my life when I feel that I am
being bombarded with problems and never seem to get a rest. That if I
continue to trust in God and keep moving forward that eventually I will
have peace for a time.
