I don't think I realized that even I do this. Those daily nagging things...really get to me, and I find myself wondering why it doesn't just stop? I forget so easily that the Lord is working in and through me, especially in these daily, seemingly "petty" trials. “We spend a great deal of our lives seeking comforts and avoiding pain because it is natural to relate negatively to suffering.”

I particularly liked the part about North Korea. It's such a reminder that persecution does make us stronger...if we allow it to. Of course that's easy to say when everything is going good but its another thing when we're in the midst of "walls." I agree, we have to allow the change if we really can conquer those "brick walls." <em>Robyn's last blog post..<a href='http://mommawriter.blogspot.com/2008/06/knocking-down-brick-walls.html' rel="nofollow">Knocking Down Brick Walls</a></em> Wonderful post Robin!!

I love the "bitter or better" and "deliverance or development" comparisons. My brick walls have definitely made me better, not bitter. God bless you for such an insightful post.

My husband and I prayed dangerous prayers because we didn't want to live a mediocre life. I prayed for a baptism of fire. God gave my husband the choice of walking or climbing, and he chose to climb. That was the beginning of the hardest time in our lives. But the spiritual growth in my husband, myself, and our kids has been phenomenal. We know God is real and that He takes care of His children. You know, waiting is a form of suffering. One of the hardest parts has been waiting on the blessings and the resolution of problems. But your faith is strengthened as you keep trusting and believing that His promises will come to pass, even when it seems like they never will. Thanks for sharing. Love, Penney <em>Penney Douglas's last blog post..<a href='http://www.heartofwisdom.com/BecomingReal/?p=287' rel="nofollow">Latest Happenings</a></em> Robin,
