Ministry from Pain

God is good.  We have one more class before we are officially Life Coaches.  We are learning so much about God, ourselves and what happened in our marriage.  We are even more convinced of how BIG God is.  He is still performing miracles.

I (Vicki) am reading a great book - In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson.  He says "Now here is what you need to understand: If you don't turn your adversity into a ministry, then your pain remains your pain.  But, if you allow God to translate your adversity into a ministry, then your pain becomes someone else's gain."

Whoa - God IS going to get more glory.  The simple fact that Brian was able to repent and our marriage was reconciled is two miracles.  Now, we can share our story, we can offer hope. 

Day by day we are understanding more and more just how BIG and how amazing our Lord and Savior is.  God is so good.
