lost and found

For the second time now in a couple of months I lost my bag somewhere, this time with my bible in it. It sucks. Having been living so much with my bible I really miss it.

I still have my German bible, but it's strange to read it, I can't find Scriptures that easily as I used to any more, which causes me trouble to hear God's voice through it.

Then, God gave me a thought, what might be the purpose of loosing my "sword": Since I'm going back to Germany in three months, this might serve to prepare me to be ready to fight with God's word again in my own language.

God: (Hebr.12:11) My child, don't ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don't be discouraged when he corrects you.
It's less discipline, but God using everything for my best - even when it hurts!
