What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

Last night's Bible reading

Last night's Bible reading was incredibly encouraging to me. It's always been one of my favorite passages but it especially touched my heart in this, the most difficult time of my life, because it reminds me that God uses everything for His glory!

The reading was:

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (New International Version)

The God of All Comfort
 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
Quite simply,  it reminded me that I will use this time of hurt I've been through to help someone else....and to glorify Him. Also....even though we are suffering (like Christ suffered), through Christ we are comforted and filled with joy!!! I also love where it calls God the Father of compassion. I believe that with all my heart to be true.....
