Review

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could wiggle our noses and have all the problems causing our stress to disappear without a trace?

I remember watching Bewitched as a little girl and wishing I could wiggle my nose and change my circumstances. It seemed like no matter what chaos took place in Sam and Darren’s home, things always “magically” worked themselves out.

As an adult, I can see that nothing was ever really fixed by magic; rather Sam and Darren had to step out into the storms around them and work through the problems until they came out the other side. And each time they did, their relationship grew stronger and they were better equipped to handle the next storm thrown in their path.

That’s basically how life works, isn’t it?

If we wallow in self-pity and run from our problems, they only pile up and get worse. But if we put our faith in God and push ourselves through life’s storms, we find the strength to come out the other side and we discover new and wonderful things about ourselves and the life we live.
