[CS-FSLUG] Prayer request

[mash.]

You are put in situations to build Character, Jesus-character.

You may be their for a reason, the harder the situation is the

to be potentially gain.

God may be giving you this, don't rebuke it because it screws with
you life and "comfortablity" (is that a real word ?)

Romans 8:28 

Read it...
