Welcome to The High Calling! I'm glad to find you among the new members. JOY is the word I've been focusing on this year, and through several trials, God has taught me the very thing you're expressing--that obedience and abiding leads to joy. Not material goods, or answered prayers, or anything else I "think" will bring it.

I'm so glad you're sharing the ways God is working in the midst of your storm. My family and I have been through many trials over the past years, but God has been faithful. As another blogger wrote lately, we've been the grateful recipients of His absurd grace. :) Welcome to the High Calling blogs network--we're really grateful that you chose to join us.

I love the humor and honesty you write with. I will be praying for your family, that God wraps His arms of love around You and holds you tightly, and that you'll be enveloped by His peace in the midst of trials. The last year and 1/2 in our family has been quite the ride, and some of it nearly did me/us in emotionally (and physically). But we're coming out of it now, and I can see how faithful He was, and is...in the smallest details. Welcome to the High Calling network. Let us know how we can serve and encourage you. We're glad to have you onboard!

My comment awaiting moderation:  Great to find your blog through The High Calling, and welcome to the network! I'm sorry you've had a tough couple of weeks. It's easy to get in the "why me?" mode when things don't go our way. I'm glad you were able to shift your perspective to see how God might use circumstances to refine His character in you. Blessings!
