curveballs coming my way

Lately I've felt like I keep getting stuck in some "sticky" situations. I turn one way... nothing.... so I turn the other way.... and I still can't move. And well at times it's one of the most frustrating experiences you deal with. Focusing on it, isn't exactley worth your time either. It's not going to get you anywhere, it's simply wasted time and energy. I continuely have to remind myself that it's just a curveball, and I will get through it. God is constantly testing me in my walk with Him, and part of growing in that walk is being faithful and content no matter what kind of curveball he throws me. It's like a tree when it's roots grow deep and are grounded in the soil it thrives, but when its roots are close to the surface and aren't planting themselves deep it lacks stability.
I want to be firmly rooted in my faith, I want to be a servant and to be used by God. However, before that can happen I need to learn how to handle the bad and even sticky situations as well as the good ones. They will pass, and will change you. Things happen for a reason and with faith in Christ you can get through them, with flying colors.
