a new view on suffering...

I always had a "disconnected" or unattached approach to things when it came to suffering and seasons of confusion. I always approached things like a game, but subconsciously was saving myself of uncomfortable feelings by not feeling them. But now I take pride in my suffering because it is through Christ I am strong, not because of myself!!! Now, suffering comes with meaning and purpose especially when I see what part of me was refined after a difficult season. I just keep becoming a better person, and continue to develop its so amazing to watch myself grow in ways I only imagined!! The only way out is through, but it's easier when you know who you're walking with and why it's happening. Peace through the storm!
