Yes God is clever in the ways he finds us and helps us.. <br />Thank you God for people like Rachel who you use in big and mighty ways to reach people all over the world.<br /><br /><br />I say big and mighty because it is a gift of humility and love to reach out to vulnerable, suffering, people with real honesty and compassion. You don't pretend that there are no bad days and some days that helps me to draw near to God and see that God loves me fully and yes, I have dysautonomia.<br /><br />Thanks again...Corrinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-59887246385757894872014-05-05T12:37:36.690-04:002014-05-05T12:37:36.690-04:00God had a plan and a purpose for the mess on my be...God had a plan and a purpose for the mess on my bed that night! :)<br /><br />If you are interested, here is a link to Jennifer's website: http://www.jenniferrothschild.com/Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-50845634390795008272014-05-05T12:31:58.003-04:002014-05-05T12:31:58.003-04:00Wow sounds good, thanks for the info about the boo...Wow sounds good, thanks for the info about the book...<br /><br />Glad it was on your bed...

She has now been blind for over 25 years. A few years ago she really struggled in her faith, battling depression and questioning God. In this book she grapples with big questions of faith.<br /><br />I’m about a third of the way through the book so far, and I really like it. The first question she tackles is “God, are you fair?” When someone with the same eye condition as her was miraculously healed, Jennifer Rothschild was genuinely glad for her, but also hurt that she herself hadn’t been healed. She began to question God’s fairness.<br /><br />Jennifer shares that no, God isn’t fair! He “does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10). She comes to the conclusion that “thankfully, God is not fair.” He doesn’t treat us as we deserve. He gives so much grace!<br /><br />Jennifer tells the story of being at a conference in which everyone thought that if she had enough faith she would be healed. I was encouraged by reading of Jennifer’s faith in the midst of suffering. I loved this quote from her: “Because of God’s grace, I have been granted faith. The faith I have is sufficient faith for healing – and it is sufficient faith for suffering.”<br /><br />I’m hoping to share about this book here on my blog after I finish reading it. So stay tuned! :)Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-45655539993453998992014-05-04T21:41:47.087-04:002014-05-04T21:41:47.087-04:00Uhmmmm.

I would love to win a copy of her book. As a homeschooling mom of 6 who's approaching the big 4-0 this year, being "purposeful" with my choices has been much on my mind already, and I need to spend some dedicated time listening to God so I can sort out which things are my ideas and which are His, and what exactly are the most important things to say "yes" to in this season.
