  5. I am thankful you are reading through the pain to write again. With the thanksgiving comes a prayer that God will continue to heal and give you all you need to live for him.

  6. I don’t know what you went through but I can relate to life changing pain. It is beautiful to see the Lord begin to get into those areas and how this gift from a sweet friend was part of it. blessing to you as you journey on.

  7. Dearest Janis, I am beyond delighted to see this post. I know how difficult it was for you to put “pen to paper.” But the final product is beautiful. You captured so well the deep-seated feelings of a heart in pain – but a heart turned toward and tuned into the Lord.

    I continue to support you in prayer, friend.

    Even in the deepest pits in life, I am finding that God’s love is deeper still…

    GOD BLESS!
