   Growing pains: so painful and yet non life-threatening; with a little love and understanding the pain decreases, and soon we don't even notice the aches. As a child I was on very heavy medications for epilepsy -- which slowed me down in some areas to almost a grinding halt. Fortunately I had very good teachers, including a loving scripture teacher, and they were always there if I needed help, however great or small. My best freind however was my God. With nobody wanting to let me join in the fun at recess time and no 'social' life, I got to know my Lord instead. All my schoolwork took a lot more effort and time than many of my other classmates -- and quite often I had to redo it --either because I'd missed the point or not interpreted it correctly. This didn't only give me better writing skills, but taught me the importance of attention to detail -- not to mention how genuine quality and integrity require time and patience if they're to be fully appreciated. Patience IS a virtue.

   My marriage is in trouble. I and my husband married for 15 year, we hurt each other for 5 years, dispute, speak something hurting each other, do something make other feel bad, etc. By the meantime, a girl get closer to closer to my husband, they ran a business, and debt for 3 million dollars, and that girl bear all loan. I found they had abnormal relationship, that girl do what my husband planned, and never say NO. We are a christian family and have a 8 year child. I don't know how to do to earn back my husband's trust and his heart again. Please pray for my family, for my husband, for my son and that girl either, I teared and teared all a day, I have been asked for a pastor to help, Please pray for me, to be strength in Christ, to be patience in Christ, help me to buried the sins that I used made and change to be a better wife.

   I once worked as a teacher, and had to deal with a child who had a diagnosis of cancer as an infant, and his parents were told he would not survive. They made the decision to make his brief life as happy as possible, and made sure he got whatever he wanted for whatever time he had left. Thankfully, he made a complete recovery, but they then had to deal with a nine year old who would have a major screaming tantrum every time someone said 'no' to one of his demands... so what sort of person would we be if we never had trouble? a painful immature selfish child with nothing to offer anyone.

   Growing pains? Why do children suffer pain from adults just to grow up? Evidently the adult hasn't grown up yet. Still waiting for God's mercy on my granddaughter who suffers severely from her mom's boyfriend's abuse. She shouldn't have to die or reap pain because he's a jerk.

   It would appear to be counterintuitive and paradoxical that we should welcome troubles in our lives and accept it as part of the growing process. It may not be easy to accept painful journeys, but be prepared by keeping eyes on the prize, and trusting in the Lord ,which could be a beautiful new life. "But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence". Jeremiah 17:7
