Bad "stuff" gone good

We need bad stuff to happen to us....

maybe I should re-phrase that and say "challenging stuff".

I am a comfort junkie. I like to be comfortable, no stress, no hassle, no drama, no castastrophes....but sometimes we all need a "swift kick" in the backside to make us do something other than be in our little comfort zone.

Be thankful for your troubles--you could have someone else's troubles, at least you know how to deal with your own troubles...or at least you are used to them.

Be thankful for them because sometimes, instead of being the worst thing that could happen, they are the best thing, or perhaps even your salvation!! Remember that in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity or that God gives problems wrapped up as a gift....
