Blessings in the Midst of Suffering

Blessings in the Midst of Suffering

I’ve suffered physically for 37 years. Chronic gut pain from billions of parasites then harsh drugs to get rid of them. Chronic neck pain from being smashed between two semis and a neck fusion. Brain tumor, two brain surgeries, and two rounds of high-tech radiation treatments to try to stop its growth. It damaged my pituitary, so I’m on complete hormone replacement.

But, my faith has never wavered. I only deserve hell and damnation, but God sent His Son to die on a cross to pay the penalty for every single sin I have and will commit. Then He defeated death and rose again so that all who believe in Him will have eternal life on a brand new earth with Christ.

So, I count my blessings of having loving parents and sisters, a great husband, four incredible children, 19 precious grandchildren, wonderful friends and neighbors, and an amazing church. I love the ministry the Lord called me to do. I love teaching women the beautiful ways of the Lord. I want them all to know how good it is to love Him and walk in obedience to Him. Yes, there’s suffering, but He is good all the time.

My future is secure because my hope is built upon Jesus Christ and His righteousness. He is the anchor of my soul.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18
