Title: Trials

This is not about all the trials that I have been experienced in my life. This is about one of the trial that my mother and I experienced since I was 2 years old.

           My mother said to me, I had been experienced a skin allergy when I was 2 years old. Because of that allergy I can't walk, I can't play; I can't eat other food like eggs and oily foods. The other children did not want to play with me because of my allergy. It is so yucky because there is a puss in it and the smell is so bad so that I had to stay inside the house. Only my mother and my grandmother can stay with me that time. I cried all the time because the wound is so itchy and painful. And also my mother cried because she could not see me crying because of pain.

           My mother and I go to different doctors like pediatrician and dermatologist. They give us medications and I took it too but still couldn't cure my allergy.

           My mother wants to give up and accept that my skin allergy does not cure anymore but she doesn't. She prayed to God and asked for help and cures my skin allergy. That time there is a fiesta in our province in Mt. Carmel it is called the fiesta of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. We go there to make our so-called "PANATA" it means that every fiesta of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel we have to go there so that my allergy is cured. And that happens, my allergy got cured. And because of that my mom and I go to that fiesta every now and then.

“The trials of this life will ultimately lead to joy if we patiently trust in God’s plan and discover how to use adversity to grow stronger.”      

We are struggling daily in our life with everything. We have many trials that facing in our lives. And we feel like we need to give up we found it hard to take. But trials part of the great plan of happiness helps us to see them as opportunities to grow and learn. And we always say that “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?” We don’t know why it happened to us.

“No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it”

    Lesson get? Don't lose hope and never give up! Because all the trials that God gave us has an answer. Trials are an opportunity for God to show us we can trust Him. We need to trust the God. We have to wait for it and all that trials that came into our lives gave us courage and to keep our faith in God to be strong. Only God knows what the answer to our problems is.
