We must trust in Him

In times that I don't understand why things work out they way they do, I go back to the thought that in God's sovereignty, He is working it out all out for Good. That He can see all around me and others and knows what plans are best for His children....even if the plans are unveiled to us, maybe make us go through grief and pain, or uncertainty. A true test of faith;refined perseverance.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. ''...."so we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. " 2 Corinthians 4: 7-12, 16-18

True believers in Christ have this hope in Him, and this hope gets us through the trials and tribulations that come our way.

I would like to shed a spotlight on a beautiful family that we were blessed to know for but a year. Brad and Sara Sullivan. Sara recently passed away, just two weeks after delivering their first child, a baby girl named Chloe Grace. Sara had been battling breast cancer and it appeared they had it conquered. Then, she started suffering some seizures and ultimately succumbed to what was diagnosed as 'postpartum angiopathy'.

I'm including this link to their blog so that you can be blessed in reading their story, and see true Christian faith in action....they both walked the walked and talked the talked even through the darkest of days. We love you Sara and look forward to being reunited with you someday soon!
