I am so humbled that the Lord would graciously allow me to write this blog. I know that suffering is a huge thing, and there are many who know so much more of it then I do... I don't have all the answers, but thankfully we can, as Christ's body, learn and grow together with [...]

What to Remember in Times of Crisis and Suffering
I know that there are many challenges that come with chronic or long term illness. Often the physical pain and suffering, though they are huge, can seem like just a small part of it. All areas of life are affected. Physical suffering causes emotional struggles, which in turn causes more physical pain. Chronic illness creates [...]
How to Find Intimacy with Jesus in Your Trials
Are you going through something hard and struggling to draw closer to God in it? Perhaps you feel disconnected from Him and spiritually dry, or maybe like God is far away. You want more of God in your life. You want to draw near to God and find deeper intimacy with Him in your trial. [...]
God Sees You
Some months ago, I was going through a particularly hard patch and was feeling so weary and needy. I was crying out to the Lord in my need, but for a while it didn't feel like He was particularly near or seem like He was coming through. During that time, I was reminded of a [...]
What I Learned from doing Camp with Chronic Illness
In January, I had the sweet privilege of attending a girls camp called Renew. For many of the girls I know, this camp is an annual highlight, and many of the leaders are young ladies who are friends of mine I've grown up with. I had been once before and had been challenged and encouraged [...]
“My Grace is Sufficient for You” (When God doesn’t Fix it)
"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said [...]
Be Still my Soul
This morning I thought I would share the words to one of my favourite hymns, Be Still my Soul. This is a song I continually come back to, especially on the hard days. The words are full of comfort and truth. I'm going to let it speak for itself. Be still my soul, the Lord [...]
“Fear Not, I am With You”
"But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: [...]
What If?
Note: These thoughts came together rapidly about a month ago as I was struggling yet again to see God's perspective on my suffering. They came as I explored in my mind the possibility that my trials were really a mark of God's favour upon me and proof of His great love for me, not to [...]
“No Good Thing…”
I would like to share a truth the Lord gave me early on in my illness. It's a truth that can seem difficult to understand because it deals with the mind and heart of God, but which can, when understood, transform our perspective of suffering. The verse the Lord gave me is Psalm 84:11, "For [...]
