I went to a Ladies Retreat this weekend sponsored by my church this weekend. It started on Friday night around 7pm, we stayed the night and resumed on Saturday until about 4pm. We had a really great speaker. The title was Finding Rest in the Midst of Life's Difficulties. I really learned a lot this weekend about Resting in Jesus. It is not just sitting around waiting for rest but certain things we should be doing, such as memorizing scripture, thinking like God and praying not only in difficulties but always. Gods' comfort is also not always physical but it is really His courage, bravery and strength that He us to deal with trials. So if we think of all the power the He has, think of all that is available to us, for the asking. I also thin this is the quote that stayed with me the most and I still dwell on this: I will suffer what I need to suffer if it can make me a blessing to someone else. I just don't know if I have that in me, but I am going to learn how to have that attitude. I really have alot to study from this weekend and I am definitely setting aside some time everyday to do just that.

Have a great day!!!!!!

    Sounds like a nice retreat. The books that I am reading, tell the reader that all suffering is really God helping us grow. It is like a workout at the gym. You grow stronger from suffering.
    Suffering is a good thing.
