Sometimes life (and God) will squeeze us. As was the case with me, I was feeling the pressure because of life's problems, and God working on me too. My family and I were beginning to feel the squeeze. Our situation turned into weeks, months, and then years. After the first few months, I complained a little to God, telling Him I did not understand all of this, as I was doing my best to live for Him. God's answer to me was that you cannot get juice out of an orange unless you squeeze it.
This is some of the juice God squeezed out of me.
