Hello Brothers, Sisters in Christ..

Bradley A from Fort Smith AR, I am happily married to an awesome woman, she is testament of faith. She lead me back to God, helped me dedicate my life to Christ.

In the past year we have been in a stormy trail in our lives. It began last September when I was fired from from a job that had I worked for five years. The only income we had was my wife's SS disability. I was denied unemployment. I had no job interviews or job offers. God, has purpose for this storm in our lives. God has been so faithful to us with His love, mercy.

In the past my reaction to any storm was to run from God, to blame Him for the problem. For the first time in my life I have given the control of my life to God. I lean into God for the problems in my life. We are still struggling put God is faithful.
I just recently started receiving SS disability for my Arthritis. We are still in the storm, we both have faith that God has a purpose for the storm.

When things get rough, I always recall this verse:

[bible=I Corinthians 10:13]
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
[/bible]

Temptation comes in many forms, and I don't think we always account for it coming in the form of hardship. Father will see you through it, but your strength is evident in your words. Hang in there!

I can attest to having a strong woman to go through life with you; for me there has not been a greater blessing in life (with the exception for the work of our Savior, Christ) than my wife. We males need them to both keep us straight and help us through the difficult times.
