Tough Times

We all go through tough times. I shared last week the many tough times Michael and I have had to go through. It is not easy at all. But, God gives us grace to go through these times.

My mom is going through tough times now. To her it seems as though she does not have the strength to keep going. She feels so emotional at times...she feels so much stress regarding her bills...she has back pain. But, I keep reminding her that God is in control. God will give her the grace she needs to go through this. The key to making it through is giving it to God. I believe that God has so much more in store for my mom. Maybe...she will be an encouragement to others. God may have an amazing blessing in store for her. We don't know! What we do know is that God has a plan, and He is in control. We need to trust that. His way is always best.

I came across this song by Steven Curtis Chapman, "The Glorious Unfolding." It is about the next chapter in life. This song is for you, Mom...please listen to the words closely. I hope that you are blessed by this song.
