Thinking about this quote as I remember this conversation. Oh, to be refined by pain and not to fear it or allow it to control my life.

“Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” God says so!

things i love about my husband {5} humor
The Great Syrup War began in early ’09 and it still continues to this day. History books are a little sketchy on how it started. We do know there was coffee involved. Little else is concrete. We know that two main perpetrators started throwing numbers around. Which is terribly dangerous, of course. And these weren’t just…
Take Up Your Cross
I was just done cooking dinner last night when my husband called me. “Can you come help me finish this section of the fencing project?” Always a man with a mission, I knew how much it would mean to him to have his goals met by evening. The path through the woods was rough, with…
love changes color
I had no idea what marriage really meant when I said yes. I was happy, sure of his affection. Over and over he would say, “You’re more than I ever hoped for…” and I would roll my eyes slightly at him. “You know I’m a mess,” I’d point out. He’d just smile. I was just the…
The Prince Who Was Just Himself
When I agreed to write a review for a new children’s book, The Prince Who Was Just Himself, I had no idea that I would suddenly get so busy the book would be left on my shelf for months before I could even crack the pages open. Every once in awhile I would look at…
Why I loved my tiny house
Almost seven years were spent in the little house on the hill. People made comments sometimes, wondering that we could ever live in such a tiny place. Usually their comments only lasted as long as they were driving-by and talking. Once they came inside, they shushed up right quick. My husband had taken a little…
Hi sister,
Beautiful quote… so much like those verses in James chapter one. ~ Blessings, Amy
*hugs* and lots of prayers.I agree that pain does have something to teach us, even if it just resting in Him and soldiering on.
I venture to say, embracing pain is the only way through it. Praying the way through yours is short.
Powerful! I missed something. Why are you in pain? I.recently decided that I have allowed too much living to be stolen from me while I wallowed in pain (physical and emotional) so I got on a strict diet and started water aerobics for exercise. I have a lot more freedom of movement in the water. This morning I was heading out to an 8:00 class and stepped wrong. I have Achilles Tendonitis in both legs and both ankles chose to give out entirely at the bottom of our stairs. I landed in the grass. Hubby came out to help me up. I tried to take a step and promptly collapsed again. I laid in the yard for a while with ice packs under my ankles. Finally … Slowly … Made it into the house. Still can’t walk, an hour later, and I’m frustrated by the set back BUT I have to acknowledge the blessings! I was at the bottom of the cement steps … Not the top! I landed in grass … Not on concrete. I was at home … Not in a busy parking lot or the pool. I was able to make it to my bed. I had ice packs ready. I already have muscle relaxants and they are doing their thing. This was not MY plan for today but I’ll go with it! Maybe we can pray for each other’s pain?
Oh, my! Ouch! I have tendentious in my wrist, so I know a little bit of that type of pain.
I have been writing some lately about different types of pain that we can face, living in a fallen world. This was just a quote that I picked up somewhere along the road.
Will definitely be praying that you find healing, dear. <3
hopefully you don’t hurt too much
Thank you, dear.
