Day 5 Questions

Day 5 Questions

I realize that I’m quite late with reading and writing about Day 5, but it’s only because I am still having a hard time grasping Day 4. Day 5 asks us to question the way we see life. Some see life as a rollercoaster, some as a battle and some as a test. When looking at it through God’s point of view, life is a test and a trust. Life is a test because every struggle and even every gift that we are given is a test. Some people forget God when all is well and turn to him in times of need. Others like myself, tend to give up on God when things go wrong. Everything in life is a test.
Everything in life is also based on trust. Everything we are given we are trusted with to take care, this goes for money, our bodies, etc. Maybe this is why I have not accomplished everything I expected to. Maybe I somehow am still being prepared for what is yet to come.
If all this is true my biggest test in life has been my current job. Everyday I struggle not to lose my cool. I am being tested on how much patience I can have for the idiots I work with and idiots in general. I am learning the art of patience and tolerance. I am learning that although people may not appreciate my work or accomplishments, I have to appreciate them.
As for what God has entrusted to me? I have no idea. Yes my body is a temple and I should take care of it, but what has been specifically entrusted to me? Maybe it’s my writing. I hope I’ll know when I’m done with this book.
