The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

40 Years Later . . .

A week ago we celebrated 40 years of marriage!














Today I am reflecting on how good God is, and how good God has been to us during the last four decades of life together. He is always good and His plan for His children is always right! No matter what circumstances surround us, we can rest in His goodness and trust that His plans are for our good and not for our harm. The key is simply to trust Him, even when we can't see Him or hear Him.

Faith is not in seeing or hearing -- it is in believing that God is always good to His children, no matter what!
