The Deeper Seam of His Peace

"God has invited you all into a deeper seam of His peace; though it is an invitation no one desires, it is somehow a privilege to be drawn near to the compassion of God Who knows suffering so well."

Man, I love the above quote. It was written to us by our dear friend, Bob Rasmussen, on May 3rd, the day before Ben had his biopsy done. It's been nearly 6 months now. It is amazing that it has only been that long, yet it seems like a lifetime ago. I was a different person 6 months ago. Things that seemed so important then are as nothing now.

My Lord suffered. Who am I to think I should live a painless life? I know, though, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my God will never leave me, no matter what the road ahead. Several years ago He revealed Himself to me as "The God Who Sees Around the Corner"--what is ahead is NO surprise to Him. In that is complete rest for my soul.

Ben meets with the surgeon on Tuesday. Thank you for your prayers for our family.

Love,
Jenifer
