Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Jesus Christ(2timothy 2:3) Along the journey, we encounter many trials and hardships that seem to slow us down and prevent us from doing what we feel we've been called to do. It can seem like boot camp. We long for the day when we'll enter battle, when we'll finally make it into the "real world" If this is where you find yourself, take heart! Boot camp doesn't last forever. Graduation day will come. And when it does, you will see God's faithfulness in preparing you for what lies ahead. Now just want to ask you, How do you view the trials and toils of life? Come on..share with us your experiences, may be we could learn a lot from you...

i see it as something that would polish myself and make me a better person. i think it's important to view things in a positive way because it shapes your character and it makes you do things without feeling like you have tons of burdens in your shoulders.=D

i see it as a challenge in my life, for me to strengthen myself and my relationship with god. it deepens my faith and mold me into a better person. these trials and hardships don't slow us down as a person, but tests ourselves and it is up to us on how we handle them.

i learn to take them as they come along. everything that happen has a reason and cause to it. i have learnt to be responsible for my own actions and take whatever obstacles in my way as a challenge. the good thing about life is that there are many possibilities and outcome so whatever trouble i am in, there will be a way out somehow. thru this, one can only get stronger and smarter and learn from his own experiences.
