“Grace is not always immediately noticeable, but when you see it, it is usually found on the other side of adversity. It taught me to trust Him more than I ever thought I could and it taught my daughter that no matter what is going on, no matter how hard it is to go through, God is always there with you.”
She reflected with me and was proud to say that my daughter found her self-confidence in this adversity and it was a real joy to watch her grow and learn. If you had asked me three years ago, as I sat in that hospital room watching my daughter fight for her life, “Do you see the blessings in this?”, I would have said ,”No way!” Now I can say that the entire journey has been a blessing. It opened her doctor’s eyes to looking deeper into her condition, which has now helped us determine she has an autoimmune disorder that makes it hard for her body to recover from illness.
It also gave my daughter back the year she had so looked forward to. God gave her back the adventure of becoming a young lady, building lasting friendships, finding courage and more importantly finding her faith in God. Grace is not always immediately noticeable, but when you see it, it is usually found on the other side of adversity. It taught me to trust Him more than I ever thought I could and it taught my daughter that no matter what is going on, no matter how hard it is to go through, God is always there with you. Wishing you all blessings through your adversities . . . grace is sure to follow.
