I resolve with you that God is good even in the midst of what we can't understand. Super looking forward to my daddy/daughter dance in heaven and in the mean time walkin' with Jesus ... even when I don't get my way:) So love you and have enjoyed getting to see you blossom into all things God! Muah! Great Love! ~Ris Kelli,

I am so sorry about the loss of your Dad. It sounds like he was a wonderful man. Although my parents are still living I have the same conversation with God almost everyday about circumstances in my life and your post has filled me with tremendous insight. Thank you for imparting God's wisdom! “Well, this is it.  I either believe everything I’ve said about you all these years or I don’t.  I either believe you have a plan here and still love us or I don’t.  So I’m going to choose to keep believing.  BUT, I’m pretty mad right now.  And I don’t like your plan.”

Thanks for allowing the Lord to use you minister to me and so many others by sharing your heart. Daddy would be so proud of you. I have always been willing to help others through their crisis times but, like you, in my prayers I always asked The Lord to spare me from this in my own life. For whatever reason, God chose not to spare me this deep pain and on May 1, 2007 as you know my life would be forever changed as I must continue to live on this earth without my husband and my best friend. As I remembered Romans 8:28 "and we know that in all things God works for the good..." it was hard to imagine what good or how that could possibly be true - after all this was "my" husband, "my" children's Dad, "my" grand babies' Grampsy. It was contrary to everything I felt but I had a choice - when my faith was put to the test would I live out what I said I believed all these years or or not. Had I been given the choice I would never have chosen this but I am grateful for the growth I can see in all of us. I wished it had come another way but I see how God is using this to bring Glory to Himself. I love you. Kel – Beautifully written.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4 I always prayed that I would take this to heart because my life was pretty smooth-sailing, too. When our family faced a huge trial, this verse came screaming back to me over and over...what a blessing God gives us when we are able to find, not happiness necessarily, but joy in the midst of huge sorrow. Thank you for sharing, Kelli! I always look forward to these! xoxo “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
