rehash of a trial... after a week of life.

RIALS #2

Just a follow-up to the last post, again still writing by assignment from Sunday the 21st of July. Even though i figured i had completed the essay, a hectic week of Family and work has caused much though on this matter of trials in our life, or better yet our life of trials...

The 23rd was national hot dog day and there was not a dog in town to be found...

Working the VC waiting for the RF tour to arrive four hours behind the times...

Rain arrived first with it's usual fanfare of lightning, thunder and wet...

Great wet monsoon weather this evening...

glow of the full moon through the night cloud cover...

a strange night of toss and turning dreams... what to do?

Cool almost clear morning, clouds starting to build early to the west...

pioneer day events in town, Casto & Losee wash's clear no water, wet spots

great evening/sunset cloud show to the south east, bright whites/dark grays

48degrees, wet, and sunny, doughnut Thursday, early morning buses...

reading: Alma29:3 ...i am a man,... i ought to be content with what the Lord allots me...

GWashington series #3 done "no heart"... flesh, sex, love, death.

Trials #2: when i come upon a "trigger" word that starts me thinking it usually allows me to see more clearly that which the word implies/means in my life at that given time: trials. Life quite simply is a trial to be worked/processed through... better yet... what in this life is not a trial of some sort? What appears to be not good or hard for me at any given time is assured me by the Lord to be for my good. Usually these assurances come through my daily scripture reading, it then takes some thinking and prayer to find/discover what the good of that trial is/was, and that comes in the Lord's time. The sooner i can become "swallowed up" in the Lord the better/easier this life/trial will be for me to accept. New better meanings to words that apply to me during a week of thinking. 

Trial: a test of faith , patience, or stamina, through subjection to suffering or temptation. A source of vexation or annoyance. 

Tempt: presenting of an attraction so strong that it overcomes the restrants of conscience or better judgement.

Temptation: a cause or occasion of enticement... especially to evil.

These words have come to my mind and understanding throughout this entire week as the result of my sunday school lesson at the start of this week, along with my daily reading throughout the week.

I am glad that life is a process and not a black and white change from one belief, understanding or step-up in knowledge to another. I am also grateful that i do not or can't become perfect in this lifetime, my second estate. I may have been a slow learner in my first estate because it is taking me time now to get through this life of trials/learning.
