Deserts and Trials

It's been a while since I've updated my blog so here goes: I am reading this book called "Dry Bones Dancing." It's about God bringing Ezekiel out of a desert of dry bones. I'm hoping this book helps me cuz I feel like I'm in the midst of my own desert with this particular test. Long story but I found out I'm ADD and I have a tough time finishing tests on time. Unfortunately, I can't get extended time on my test so I'm going through a trial trying to figure out how to pass an 8 hour medical licensing exam that I struggle to get enough time to answer the questions. Recently, I have had another difficulty in developing tolerance to the ADD medicine I was going to use to take my test.
So far this book has talked about disobedience causing distance in our relationship with God and how that causes spiritual dryness or deserts in our life. I feel like I've been in the midst of my own "desert" with the test where everything that could go wrong seems to have gone wrong for too long a period of time. I know when we are in those periods where life isn't going as planned we tend to question God, God's love for us, and even God's sovereignty in our lives. Although God does love us and promises to work for us in everything (Rom 8:28), it can be challenging when life isn't happening quite like we want. I know these types of trials cause me to question God and even want to turn to other things to find life because "it seems like God isn't cutting it" or doing the amazing things for us in life that he seemed to do for us. However, I'm trying to steer back to God even in the midst of trials. Hopefully, this book will encourage me as it already has reminded me the importance of obedience leading us to closer relationship with God, who is our source of life and our provider. And it is ultimately God who delivers us through trials. So I encourage myself and those going through trials in life to continue seeking God as the source and deliver from our trials. Well, enough serious stuff. I'm gonna go watch the Eagles play the Falcons.
