Peace in pain

I've been food poisoned.  I've also had an intestine infection and a fever... Truth is I've been in bed for the past three days.  I see on facebook that when some people are sick they've watched series, painted and so on.  Well,  I've battled to keep concentration and focus so I've mainly been sleeping and looking through my facebook, Instagram and emails.  Obviously keeping in touch with my mom, duh!

I've felt very sorry for myself although that didn't really help.  I've been in so much pain and discomfort.  

What have I learnt in this time?  Peace doesn't come with perfect circumstances.  God gives peace in the confusion, in the mess, in the pain, in the struggle.  Simple.  When we release our situation to him he can do wonders.  

May we trust him in the easy times and in the struggles!

Love,

Phoenix and Sarah
