(Completing mission training school, leading a lifegroup, going to India pregnant with three kids, having a 4th child, budgeting off of one income for a family of six! Having two kids in the same grade learning math! Whew! That makes me tired!) Its said in the book of James to consider it pure joy whenever we face trials of many kinds, because we know that the testing of our faith develops perseverance. And perseverance must finish its work so that we may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything.
