Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust.

(from Isaiah 30:15)

Life changes in a moment, doesn’t it?

A tragedy strikes…an unexpected diagnosis…

or a sudden loss…

leaves us feeling alone…confused…or in despair.

What do we do now?

When my husband fell into a utility area, dropping twenty feet on his head, I began to question God. He survived, but his brain injury meant we lost the father and husband we depended on for everything. Our family of four imploded.

God, what is your purpose in this heartache?

Lord, will you take care of our future?

Father, will life ever be the same?

God’s answers were not immediate, and quite frankly, rather slow in my not–so–humble opinion. But, He did answer these questions in His own way and in His own timing.

No matter what you are facing, I desire to encourage and bring hope to you, along your life journey. I invite you to join our Strength Notes community to keep in touch.

Love,
