Why Not ME???

Why Not ME???
Posted By: amanda lewis on July 26, 2005


Recently, I have been reading a book titled " To Blessed To Be Stressed." It is an excellent book written by Dr. Susan Cook, who is also a woman pastor. In her book, Dr. Cook shares some of her life stories and also some inspirational lessons. One of the lessons that I have learned form the book is one that everyone should master.



It is " Why Not Me?" Many times in life we face challenges and the first thing many people say is ," Lord why me?" Instead we should thank God for the trials and tribulations that we face in our lives. They make us strong and help build our character. No one on earth has done anything that was so great that we should not have hard times. We should learn to count our blessings that God has has given us. This, among other things, will allow you to become " To Blessed To Be Stressed."
