A powerful message was shared in yesterdayās āStreams in the Desertā. I have been reading these devotions for years now and every now and again l come across a real gem 
this is one of them. Enjoy!! 
April 15th 
Streams in the Desert
Be sure to start your day encouraged with an encouraging devotion, doing this truly helped me during some of the most difficult parts of my journey.
Thank you for sharing!!! I hate trials hahaha, but I am starting to love thema and accept them as challenges hilding His Hands!!!
Hahaha I didnt either, I remember there was a time in my life I feared trials and just the thought of any trial would scare me so much. Now any type of trial or difficulty that comes up against me I get excited knowing that His got it and that itās going to be ok and work out for GOOD!! All I need to do is speak to Him about it. So simple !!
Not only does my Husband want me to tolerate or accept trials and crisesāHeās training me to LAUGH through them, and itās been WONDERFUL!!
https://loveatlast.org/living-lessons/week-66-laugh-it-off/ was published in June 2021 (in the midst of covid lockdown), and Heās brought me a long way.
Just this morning, I ran into one trial after the next and next and next when trying to pay one of our LMFs. On Saturday, when all the āfunā began, we were victims of digital fraud. So things were locked and frozen and all sorts of things have made it challenging but oh so much FUN!!
Compare me NOW to back when everything āfinancialā would stress me out because I hated it so much. But since HEās in control and is reinforcing the truth that each of these journeys is designed to change us, bring us closer to Him, and also reconstruct what weāre doing now to what is better: easier, more benefits, probably safer, etc. etc.
So this morning, it wasnāt until I began LAUGHING that I had an unusual breakthrough that just may lead to a financial payment path Iāve asked Him about. Time will tell and another change, I am not in a hurry to get to the destinationāIām loving this particular financial journey because I enjoy laughing with Him!! āHe sits in the heavens and laughsā
Oh my word yes thank you for sharing Erin. Iām going to remember to start laughing whenever I face trials especially when itās one after the other because those can be really frustrating but then I will KNOW itās especially those that I can laugh with HIM about!! I went to go read the lesson again because it was so long ago that I read it and how true because the enemy tries to make me feel horrible about all sort of thingsā¦ a good reminder to laugh off those uncomfortable sick feelings!!
Thank you for sharing Atarah, yes I also dreaded trails, and financial trails also like Ering said. But the more I am growing in Him, I can understand that He is working with a plan and I can get excited to see what He is going to do through the trail. Thank you Erin for the reminder to just laugh it off!
