Somewhere along this rocky, twisting, unwanted adventure of chronic illness comes a place of wrestling with God, with self, with letting go. But it’s OK. Because spring is almost here, hope watered in tears, ready to push through the grief, and burst into light.
This is an exercise meant to be worked through slowly, over many months - an opportunity to grow more deeply in love as you rediscover one another.
Why do we generously give and serve with Chronic Joy? Because God called. And because the work He's called us to do is so desperately needed.
