Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.

There is this fine line between presenting to You all of my weakness and thinking that it can't be done. In Your strength, I find my own.

Take those road hazards- the potholes, ruts, detours, and all the rest- as evidence that you were on the right route. It's when you find yourself on that big, broad, easy road that you ought to worry.

Jesus went without comfort so that you might have it. He postponed joy so that you might share in it. He willingly chose isolation so that you might never be alone in your hurt and sorrow. He had no real fellowship so that fellowship might be yours, this moment. This alone is enough cause for great gratitude!

It always helps to know that other parents with special-needs children are surviving, and surviving well.

God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.
