I love today's post, Colleen. I think we all should pray and strive for a heart and attitude like Job who, with his family gone, his life in ruins and his body in pain, could still say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Amazing, amazing words in the midst of his circumstance.
Congrats on everything! Especially the losing 25 pounds :)
Hi, Colleen--was completely touched by your post this morning. So true that the Lord brings sunshine along with the shadows. Jer 29:11 is my life verse--I find myself clinging to it whenever things get a little sticky, remembering God's promise about his plan for me. So, anyway--thanks for that. ;)And congrats on the weight loss. ;)
Would love to win a copy of your book!

Thanks,

I just shudder when I think of all Job went through! God is so good to us when we don't deserve it though. Those little blessings He sends along the way are so sweet.
I agree with you all. The verse that gets me through- "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
God is GOOD! May the Blessings keep on coming! And let us sink our fingernails into our Faith as we go through the tough times.

I love this post, C! God promises not to give us more than we can bear. When we walk through the fire, he's there alongside us, holding our hands.

Congrats on losing 25 pounds! I did the hcg protocol a while back as a treatment for infertility and was happy with the side effect of weight loss! Learning to stick a needle into my body every morning took some getting used to.
I hope you enjoyed your recent trip to the desert. Kara told us that you were coming and I had hoped to get you to sign a few books for my wife and mother-in-law. They LOVE your writing. But, alas, I was out of town while you were here. Maybe next time!
25 pounds! That's so awesome. I'm happy for you. Silver lining today is finding a post like this and a reminder that there is good along with the bad and God is in control. I guess I just need to look harder for the good. Thanks, C, you made me cry, but in a good way. :)
That's great that the Lord helped you through that stress. I just saw this book on a 'new fiction books' list from CBD that I got in an email. I'd love to win it.

Colleen,
I think you are right...if we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we can see Him in the midst! So often, I am guilty of having eyes, but not seeing, and ears that do not hear...as is often mentioned in scripture.
One Wednesday evening at church, the man teaching worded it ... that there are times that our life stories intersect with God's story, and that is when true worship takes place. I think our willingness to seek Him while in the difficult times is what allows us to also see the beauty and give Him glory in it. It is why the difficult times themselves can be such a joyful journey.
If you haven't already pulled five names, throw mine in there Colleen. Congrats on the weight loss!
You can contact me at the addy that's probably in your address book or the one below

Woohoo! A new book from you AND one set in Texas! Sign me up, please ma'am!
Loved your post.
I enjoyed your post, Colleen. I've found that it's during the times of "rain" that I truly depend on God and am able to grow spiritually. And losing 25 pounds is wonderful! I hope you can keep it off.
I enjoy your books very much and would love to win a copy of this one. Thanks for the opportunity.

I wish I could write, but all I can do is read what others has written, glad you lost 25 lbs, wish I could loose some more, when I was first disnosed with debitics I lost 32 lbs, but have gained about 7 of those back in 2 years, really don't know how, since I have to watch what I eat but I have always been on the heavy side. I would love to win one of your books, I have a few and they are so good.
May God bless
