Everything goes better when you stop fighting God …

Oh! I wish I had written down her exact words this morning at our prayer/friend group … but after I waxed on & on (who me? verbal? date mouth? “Why 5 words when 500 will clearly do” Tara?) about how God was blessing me with a renewed embracing of some relatively recent suffering in my life …

(How, although I never would have chosen what happened; how being so long in a place of physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering brought me to my lowest place of utter despair; how HARD it was and how NECESSARY it was to GRIEVE … But honestly? I’m having such a renewed sense that I am who I am today because of it. God has used it and is using it in my life for His glory and my good. Really. Actually. Not to excuse the sins I did or the sins done to me. Not to be a stoic. But just to live it because it’s life.)

And my dear friend responded with something to the effect of this:

“Everything goes better when you stop fighting God.”

Ahhhhhh — if only I could learn how to be so wise with “5 words rather than 500.”

🙂

Amen, K! Well said. Preach it dear one. Preach it sister! Preach on.

Happy, blessed Wednesday–

With love,
