I read a great quote recently by Hermann Hesse,  5 Minute Manifestation a 20th century novelist and Poet. Here's what he said: "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."

For me personally, that quote has tremendous power. I've always believed that every circumstance has within it a lesson, or message that's designed to get your attention. That belief has allowed me to get through some pretty tough circumstances. Like when my wife and I first moved from New Jersey to Georgia. We were struggling with being away from family. I had worked for several companies that shut down after only months of being employed by them. At one point, I had 4 different jobs in just as many months. I was beginning to think it was me destroying the companies! We wanted nothing but to pack up and move home. But we stayed and we persevered.

During that same period of time, we had 6 children in a 9 year period and already had 3 at home! Since I wasn't able to hold a steady job and the babies kept coming, people questioned our sanity. Even we questioned our sanity at some points. But my wife Joanne always said, "Hey, it will work out. If God wanted us to have all these kids, he'll provide a way for us to handle it." And she was right because He always has.
