Redemptive Suffering? Is that a thing? Part 1

Does God instruct us BY our suffering or IN our suffering? Or both?

9 more miles of the Ice Age Trail. đź’› The Forestville Segment.

This week I read some of my writing from 7 years ago. I don’t even remember some of the things I shared.

“That was me?” I will admit, there is a fair amount of fear. Will I ever get that edge back? Will I have that creativity again? Will more inspiration come?

I’m choosing to rest in the not-yet. And I am finding myself once again on the trail. I’m not re-finding myself. That older version is in the past. I do believe there is a lot of hope to finding beauty after pain. Little by little… the spark, the joy, the creativity is coming back. Ideas are flowing, smiles are easy, and joy is with each step.
