This ...What a beautiful and inspiring post, Joanna! This phrase really spoke to me, "But God doesn’t waste our pain. He transforms it into something more glorious than its original state." I know this is true, but when we're in the midst of the crisis and pain, we sometimes forget who is in charge.

What an honor! <br />Jeanne Doyon - glad the blog was a blessing. I have had many dreams burn before my eyes. Fortunately, as you point out, Christ defeated death, and this world is not my forever home. One day all will be right again. God's redemptive ability will never cease to amaze me.

God is in the business of raising up what seems to be dead, to new life. Dreams, hopes, and of course our greatest example of Jesus Christ who battled with an unseen enemy in the depths of the cold tomb, and won the victory over sin and death.Jeanne Doyonhttps://jeannedoyon.comnoreply@blogger.com
