Often I just pray "God! Catch me!" I feel like falling, a painful fall. I know God's hand is all around, but I'm falling that fast, my eyes are teary, that I cannot see it. But I think today I was able to feel God's hand.
In church today, it was about suffering and challenges. Worship, Pictures and Sermon were to encourage those going through hardships.

1. A Picture shared by someone
There is a big pile with broken colored glass, but then out of those glass flinders a Cristal was made.
2.The sermon text
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1.Peter 1:6-7

Initially I did not want to take those words in, being afraid of loosing my countenance, but under the constant rain of God's word eventually had to open my heart and then I did loose my countenance ;), but won a glimpse of purpose and hope in my situation.
I cannot see it yet, but start believing that it will be all worth it. Being in the furnace for refinement. It might be good that I cannot run away, which I certainly would if I could. I'm going to rejoice in it.
