“Every event God allows into your life is designed to make you more like Christ.”
~Henry Blackaby
Thoughts from Mommy Duck…
Depending on where you are, that statement may rankle you a bit. When we are struggling, it’s hard to believe that a God who loves us would allow us to suffer. Yet it is in our times of suffering where we grow closer to Christ. Those are the times we need Him most and seek Him out. Those hard times are the defining moments of our lives that alter our course and help define our paths.
Hard times are opportunities.
Granted, I’m not fond of difficulties – they are not opportunities I look forward to. Yet I know when those times come – God has a reason. Instead of asking God why He is doing something to me, I am learning to ask, “what do you want to teach me? How does this equip me? What do I need to do with this experience? And guess what? God is wonderful to direct me
Until tomorrow,

Romans 8:28
And we know hat God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to their purpose for them.
