Today is my birthday. I was planning to go to Disneyland and eat lots of cake with Mickey. However, on Tuesday I had a high fever and could not move for the whole day. I literally slept for twenty four hours because I was so weak. But today, while laying in bed, I got a chance to read Scripture, listen to some sermons, read a little about John Calvin, and rejoice over God's goodness through the church family. You can either wallow in self-pity or rejoice in God through sufferings. I am learning to rejoice. We tend to listen to God much more in our sufferings than in times of health and prosperity. Praise the Lord for affliction that He uses for good. Psalms 119:67-"Before I was afflicted, I went astray, But now I keep your word." PTL.-Alex
