Distressed For Your Comfort?

I have to say I had a pretty tough week last week; surgery, radiation, nassea, headaches, body aches etc. The job I got three months ago isn't too happy either, so extra stress of the idea of looking for work again...

Then I read this verse from 2Cor 1:6
"If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer."

An excerpt from TGIF

"God must love you a lot! He doesn't allow someone to go through the kinds of adversity you have experienced unless He has a special calling on your life." Those were the words said to me by two different mentors at two different times within a three-year period. Later I would learn another related truth from a respected man of God - a man who lives in another country, a man whom God uses throughout the globe. "The depth and width of your faith experiences are directly proportional to your calling."

So what's next?
