Refiners Fire

I never knew my heart could be so sad and so happy at the same time, I never knew how much I cared for others and how much they cared for me, I never knew how much and how little faith I had, I never knew I could care so little for material things, but worry so much about them at the same, I never knew how much understanding could come out of confusion, I never knew how long and short the weeks could be, I never knew how strong and weak I am, I never knew how lonely and how surrounded by love I could be, I never knew how much I knew about God's love, I never knew that patience really is a virtue, I never knew that everyone else has problems, I never knew what was so important and what wasn't, I never knew I could trust and hope so much, I never knew - but now I know!


These past few months have been difficult, but amazing.
