I've always been known by my smile. Well, after D-Day we weren't sure when, or even if, I would ever smile again. So, it was fitting that the verse of hope that God gave me was from Proverbs 31:25 "she shall rejoice in time to come" - another translation says "she laughs without fear of the future." In this episode, I'll share a devotion I wrote about how everything is falling apart, "but God..." filling in the blanks of my uncertainty with God's ability. This sent out an SOS and helped me acknowledge my pain, but gave me hope that although things may be temporarily troubled and tragic in my life, with God, I am eternally safe and secure. Pouring out my heart to God, and exchanging my pain for His promise, would prove to be how I would rejoice in time to come, and smile and laugh again without fear of the future. What a relief! I hope and pray you find healthy ways to express your pain, find hope in despair, and allow yourself to smile again.
