Iggy explant 3 weeks! Hope for all of us!

[Guest guest]

Iggy, 3 weeks!!! It's almost here. You can do it! I hope my

problems haven't discouraged you in any way. From what the other

women have told me, I think they all(correct me if I'm wrong) got

worse before they got better. I just happened to have been blessed

with a little better before the worse. Maybe God was giving me a

wonderful gift for Christmas so that I could enjoy myself for the

first time in years?? I know that I will get well soon - I have no

doubt that I will be my old active self again soon. Hang in there!

Here goes preacher Pam again...I read about Job today. He was first

stripped down to nothing - all his worldly possessions gone, his

animals, servants, and his children and then his body was covered

with painful festering boils. His wife tells him to curse God and

die, his friends tell him he must have sinned and that is why God is

allowing him to go through all this suffering. Job cursed the day he

was born and begs God to kill him and tells him over and over that he

should never have let him be born. He suffers mentally and

physically so much that he wants to die. But he never cursed God.

He finds out that it was never because of something he did wrong nor

was it because God was angry with him, or that he left him, it was so

that he could prove to Satan that no matter how much Job suffered, he

would remain faithful to God. In the end God gave Job twice what he

had before. He had 7 more sons and 3 more daughters and thousands

and thousands of animals and many riches. He lived 140 years after

that - living to see 4 generations of his children and

grandchildren. Then he died, an old man who had lived a long good

life.

I look at what I'm going through and sometimes cry and ask God why he

can't just make it all go away or take me now! Then I remember what

God allowed Job to go through. Job was such a good man who loved God

with everything that he had and still was allowed to suffer terribly

and God is the one who allowed it to happen. But, Job believed that

God was in control and that he gave him everything to begin with so

it was his to take away if he wanted. Our suffering is not as severe

as Job's, I don't think, but we feel like it is sometimes. I think

that if we remember always that God is in control and something

wonderful is going to come out of all of this we will have the

strength to make it through. The story of Job is written to give us

hope - that no matter what, we can trust God to take care of us if we

remain faithful to him through it all. He allows suffering not to

prove to him that we will be faithful, but to show ourselves what

we're made of. He already knows!

I hope this helps someone who needs to hear it today. Has anyone

heard from Mimi?

Love to all of you.

Pam
