Unwrapping the present!

There is a wise saying that reminds me that within each challenge (the word uses is, problem; since I no longer want to describe events as problems I choose to reword the term) is an opportunity waiting to be discovered.

It is easy to spot the opportunity when it is covered in a sheer layer of wrappings. When this opportunity is disguised by several layer of thick covering that reminds me of Leah's veil, I wonder what on earth is the present… must be something very delicate and irreplaceable!

Lately, I have been asking God for so many gifts…gifts that money cannot buy…Opportunities that only God can reign down on me.

As usual God’s best way of answering my request is to send me a refining fire experience in which I often cannot see any opportunity right away!

I hate when God does that... and God knows that I never like it when I have to guess which prayer that is being transformed into action…into reality!

That goes to prove how many of my prayers are in God’s inbox.

All I know is that I have a big God to handle my earfuls… a God who gives me big enough faith to carry through whatever comes my way; more so, the disguised gifts!

So I continue to unwrap the present!
