Joy in the Middle

from The Good Soul Podcast · host The Good Soul Podcast

We're back from our Hiatus with a story to tell sharing one of the most faith-testing experiences our family has ever faced. What began as a head injury involving our five year old daughter quickly escalated to an emergency trip to the hospital, transfer between three different medical facilities, four days inn the PICU , and conversations about the real possibility of head surgery. In this deeply personal episode, we open up about the tears, fear, doubt, exhaustion, and moments when everything felt completely out of our control. But in the middle of the chaos, we also encountered God.We learned that faith is not pretending that everything is okay. Faith is trusting God when you don't know what will happen next. It's praising through the fear, praying through the uncertainty, and discovering that joy can still exist...even in the middle of the fire.“Even though we couldn't control what was happening around us, we could choose where we placed our faith.”Thank you for listening to the Good Soul Podcast!Please keep our family in your prayers, and share this episode with someone who may be walking through a fire of their own. - James & Priscilla
