when I was 12 my mother became ill, and so from then until she passed away,me and my younger sister and older brother bounced around between Uncles and Aunts when my mother would go to the hospital for radiation treatments. My mother passed when I was 18, I had become a mother myself at 17, I was glad my mother was there to meet her and spend sometime with her. The test was could I raise my daughter without my mom to guide me. It was truly a scary thought to me. Now I am 38, my daughter is 21 and she is a double major in college, this is her junior year, and I can say I did a pretty good job, she is very smart and beautiful. I was a single mom up until about 10yrs ago, now I am happily married and content in my life, but it has been one heck of a ride getting here.

My biggest test was related to love, I have to over come the pain and accept the fact that the person doesn't love me, but life still have to go on.
It transform me because I am weak in love, and I thought my world is over without it. But in reality, it is not. It actually in the many way, make me much much stronger and I am clear what I want in life.
In Buddhism, we learned that difficulties and obtacle in life are not necessary bad. Many often, it is a test, or should I said a lesson for you to learn.
You must have the "issue" so you encounter this "problem" someone else doesn't have simliar issue when encoutner same problem won't suffer the same.
ex. like me, I need money but it is not my most important thing I attach. so if it come to money, then I am okay. but when it come to love, well, I tend to be much more attached to it.
"something doesn't kill you will only making you stronger"
I learn that and in many ways, I believe it was mean to happened. it is not easy and really really changed my perspect in life.
good luck

It is the battle of me vs. cancer...
It is transforming me into an entirely new person, and making me grow. As the metamorphisis that takes place is completely transforming. I hope to emerge victorious, if I don't survive, I will put up fight that muhammed ali would be proud of.
Blessings and love,
Sassy

a sobriety test..and yes it changed my life as well.
Ive learned that stopping for the police ONLY enhances your chances of getting bent over the barrel by some D.A looking to make a case.
I got a dui for throwing a party,i walked outside of my house,backed my jeep up about 15 feet,not out of the driveway,just to let my friend back his car out to leave.yet the popo didnt think twice about watching him do that,they pulled in,and told me i was drunk and behind the wheel! DUI!!! wtf? i never touched the street,as my driveway is over 600 feet long!!! i had another 550 to go before i got there......this country and these pigs have all gone to hell.
it transformed me to believe nothing about the justice system,most cops are liars,pricks...and most of them wouldnt amount to a pimple on a real cops ***.

Surviving my adolescence with a severely depressed mother, and an alcoholic stepfather. Although I was never physically abused, our home was always full of bad vibes from her crap and his distance. She ruled the house and wanted everything her way. I put up with it for about 5 years, then I ran away to live with my grandmother again who raised me from infancy.
I think that made me a lot more tolerant of people with all kinds of mental issues and it also gave me a healthy view on the value of forgiveness. My mother still won't forgive me to this day for calling the cops on her 13 years ago when she threatened to kill me. That's when I ran away. Well, the cops found her drug stash and she got in big trouble.
Anyway, I forgave her for all she put me through and I look back on these days with no ill feelings. I'm glad I came up hard. I'm way stronger than people who had everything handed to them. I guess one can view a blessing any which way, depending on the strength of the soul.

God took me through a 2 year faith test and that is were I found out who was in control of my life so you could say my faith was tested and lengthen.God has given me a peace beyond my imagination that what ever happens I know he will take care of it one way form or fashion.

The biggest test in my life was the death of my Daughter. She died of SIDS when she was 4 months old. Yes it changed my character. I am scared to have more children and the ones I have I am so paranoid over. It screwed me up pretty bad.

My works in The Lord will be tested by fire !
That which is of my own will burned away and what's done In Christ remains
That's will be the last tranformation of who I am - that is my character which I will present before God.
