Have you been through fiery trial (s) and came out . . . .?

I've had many trials. But the one that was the most fiery was the death of my daughter because of the stupidity and bad choices of another. I don't know how I lived through that. However, now I know how to "mourn with those who mourn" and the biggest of all--to forgive.

The prelim was enough for me! I never went back for the real trial. It all worked out, cuz the guy that attacked me pled guilty & served out his sentence of 8 years. Now I have to wonder if he wants to finish me off. He can't be happy about how things turned out. I just hope he can move on with his life & keep it on a better road. Trails often make the victims looks like the the bad guys. That's why I was "unavailable" when the trial started. I did sent them a note stating how I felt & let them know I'd be in touch when they lived up to their end of the deal & got me that housing, medical & dental help that was promised. I think all parties lost in that particular battle. I really thought the fool would fight it & win or at least cut a deal...but he folded when the dog & pony show didn't have one of the players to complete the act! OOPS!

At seventeen years old, I was shipped to Vietnam, in a Ranger unit, we were ent to the North with the Hmong to train them to fight. I was wounded twice.

It was a trial of survival.

Yes, the death of a loved one, I survived an illness that is usually fatal, when my son and brother were in Vietnam, that was horrible every day until thay got home.. My children and I were in a bad accident(car, not our fault))and we came out of it with only scratches,scrapes and bruises.

OH YEAH !

Lots of them.

The last one, I had to use every bit of knowledge I'd ever learned to come through it. It lasted 3 yrs, but wow.. I learned so much..but it was no fun.

I always use them to gain the know-how to defeat it and survive it, as a winner.

ARE You Kidding? Me? Fine Gold? More like Saran Wrap! I think I am meant to hoe one road in this life and it is a rough one and I guess it is OK...I have grown accustom to it now! it is the only road I now!!!

If a million/2 the failings stated approximately this God and his wisdom replaced into genuine he would have not any reason to objective every physique! The issues stated relating to the God is henceforth all snarled so the thought of being examined is absurd. we are all to blame and no God or Demon can absolve us of that accountability!

Nothing left really. Anything of any value except life itself perished in the onslaught of the tempests of life...

I thought mine were, but have never lost a child and I think that would be the worst kind of experience.

Yep. Several things. I am stronger for the experiences, and have more compassion for others, too.
