PeaceMaking Women Ch. 3

The next chapter in this book that I thought I should write about is chapter 3, which is about suffering. I thought long and hard about whether I should write a post about suffering since I don't feel like this chapter is currently relevant in my life.  Although I don't feel like this is currently relevant, I have been through suffering in my life and know I will be again. There was one line that really stuck out at me in this chapter that I wanted to share with everyone.

Let me preface this by saying that although we have had struggles recently with the gestational diabetes, I have never considered this to be suffering.The women who wrote this quote was dealing with her husband battling cancer and not knowing if he would survive or not.


"God is writing the letter of my husbands life. The doctors are just opening the envelope and reading me the message." (Peacemaking Women)

I think this message is relevant in everyone's life whether you are suffering or not. We all worry and fear and this message that God already knows whats going to happen is very comforting to me. We shouldn't be scared of what a doctor might say (something I have been known to be lately) but instead need to rest in the assurance that God already knows what the doctor will say and has a plan for our life.
