I’ve heard that if coal is put under intense, crazy amounts of pressure for long enough it turns into diamonds.
You think that works for life too?
Cuz if it does, then our family of coal, I think, is under enough pressure to turn it into diamonds.
At least I HOPE this turns into diamonds! Because the pressure is really starting to get to be too much.
And I sure hope it doesn’t take as long to turn into diamonds as coal does!
this and that and then some 
GIRL! I hear ya! I’m feeling exactly the same way. This ministry stuff can just plain old stink at times. Thinking that one day we all might be diamonds — truly shining for HIM– is helpful.
I’ve been working hard on memorizing Galatians 6:9 “Let us know grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Let it be so, Lord!!!!
Blessings, Vicky!

Yep, can totally relate. Which is why my blog is “Mining for Diamonds”. It definitely hurts to become a diamond.
