Good word

So, I have been just incredibly overwhelmed lately, in every aspect of my life, and coming to the end of my rope. Donny is gone a lot with his job, I am having a "teeth crisis" that is posing as this dark cloud not allowing me to see joy in anything, and to make a long story short, KIDS. Anyway, all this to say I was doing my quiet time this afternoon and the Lord gave me an amazing word that I thought I would share...
It was from the old devotional book Streams in the Desert , and it said "Do not fret, or set your teeth, or wait doggedly for the suffering to pass; but get out of it all you can, both for yourself and for your service to your generation, according to the will of God." The passage of scripture that corresponds with it was 2 Corinthians chapter 1. So, if you are feeling as I am, or have been feeling the loving chastening of the Lord, be encouraged for it is all for the will of God, and He loves you so very much!
