Redemptive Suffering

I am in a class right now called "Redemptive Suffering." After coming off of one of the most intense and life-changing years of my life, I still find myself crying out to our God in pain for leading me to take this course. It's horrible. And when I say horrible I am talking about experiencing so much restlessness and lack of comfort that you can do nothing but fight God as he's warmly wrapping his arms around you so tightly that you feel his heart beat against yours.
