COUNT not thy life by gain, but by loss, not by the wine drunk, but by the wine poured forth, for LOVE’S strength standeth in Love’s sacrafice, and he who suffers most has MOST to give. -Jonathan GoForth
i just discovered why God allows pain and suffering, its because those who suffer most have most to give… it REALLY struck me when i first read that saying… i look at some of the people in my life who have had incredible pain and they are the most remarkable people, compassionate, and understanding- must be that is why. How can God take the hardest things in our life and somehow turn it into our greatest ministry? Its beyond me…

You’re so right…great post! It made me all excited to read it….. It’s like, God is giving you the comfort I feel I can’t. I’ve felt ever since I knew you that God’s going to make you into such a beautiful, compassionate woman, even through the pain in your life. And I’m SO EXCITED He showed it to you too! Ok, I’ll stop gushing.
How have you been? We’ve been getting TONS of rain and half of Iowa City is underwater. Pretty amazing. But it’s sunny now and the rainwater is finally drying up. And moving day seems to be coming all too quickly. Maybe it’d be easier if I knew when we’re moving…lol, oh well. The uncertain times in our lives teach us too, don’t they? Love ya girl!
