Shelley caught herself having a small pity party at church. She is usually the one giving the encouraging word, and in that moment she wanted to be the one receiving one.
The Lord did not let her sit there long. Within minutes he reminded her of a word her pastor had given her only a few months earlier, in the hardest stretch of her year, about coal under pressure and the diamond that comes out of it. She had written it in her journal so she would not forget it, and she had forgotten it anyway.
She also passes along a line from her friend Bonnie: when you are in the middle of it, it is a moany. Once you are on the other side of it, it becomes a testimony.
