Wrestling With an Angel

My friend Cheryl forwarded this video link recently. Cheryl wanted me to see the story posted on Desiring God called The Glory of God in the Gift of Disability. John Piper was talking about…

Jesus says that the purpose of the blindness is to put the work of God on display. This means that for our suffering to have ultimate meaning, God must be supremely valuable to us. More valuable than health and life.

But what if the intense suffering is happening to your child? Can God really be more valuable to a parent than a healthy child? Can there possibly be purpose to disability?

Listen to the tough policeman explain how his life was forever changed by God – using his adopted son.

Greg Lucas, the policeman, and father of Jake tells the whole story in a new book, Wrestling with an Angel: A Story of Love, Disablity and the Lessons of Grace.

This touched my life, and was a blessing to me.

Learning Patience

Janey — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:12:11 +0000

It’s been said that if one prays for patience he/she better be ready to go through (or is it grow through?) some trying times. Back in the early days of my marriage, I prayed for patience….God gave me 5 children!! This past week we’ve been learning more about patience as we await the official final word of the Ford Fiesta Contest. A 100 winners will be chosen to be Fiesta Agents for 6 months, going on one monthly special secret assignment. The winners will get to use the Fiesta , free fuel and insurance, too! My husband submitted his video entry several days ago now and we expectantly await news. We naturally think his video was one of the best and he would be an asset to the team of Agents. My husband actually compared this week to being in labor and giving birth……….hmmm…………I don’t think he really knows what we womenfolk go through in our labors and deliveries. But, it’s a good analogy and I hope the birth is soon!

Could this be God’s provision for our auto needs til Fall?! We hope so!

I married a creative man!!

How Shall We Then Live

Janey — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 15:35:54 +0000

In Sunday School we’ve been viewing the Francis Schaeffer video series “How Shall We Then Live“. Fantastic. Concise. Very clear evaluation of what’s been going on over the centuries.

I’m thankful I can see this series again after having seen it in college, and several years ago in Sunday School. I was challenged to search the Scripture for verses pertaining to influencing culture. Here are some verses I found:

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle…

Genesis 2:15 Then the Lord god took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Psalm 8:6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; you have put all things under his feet.

Job 14:15 You shall call, and I will answer you; you shall desire the work of your hands.

Psalm 104:23 Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.

Psalm 101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
