Suffering

For those of you that have asked, yes, I did go to my party Friday night. I had a lot of fun, but did not get home til almost midnight. Yesterday morning I woke up nauseated and spent the better part of the morning/early afternoon throwing up and sleeping. Wonderful!! I managed to feel better after awhile, and ran a couple of errands. But after being caught in all the holiday rush traffic, and taking 1 hour to get home (normally takes 15 from this particular place), I said I had had enough. I could barely keep my eyes open, I was so sleepy. So I took another quick nap when I got home. Not sure why I'm so exhausted...and I literally have no energy. BLAH!!! I slept in this morning, causing me to miss church. Which is ok, but I had planned on going. I'm feeling ok, but not great. Tomorrow, I will definitely be calling my coordinator to get an intervention.

Why does God allow us to suffer like this?? Why do we grumble and complain when we are sick or have other frustrating things going on in our life? Do we distrust or fear HIM? God does not make us suffer because of sin. He is working in us to shape us to be more like him. God always has a purpose behind everything. Do I distrust or fear the Lord? NO! I know everything will work out for the better. But it does get frustrating in these types of situations.
