<p>God is at work in all things.  We live under an illusion of control, when really we control so little.  God's glory and goodness is what all things point to, whether we choose to acknowledge that truth or not.  In all things, our circumstances are opportunities to demonstrate His worthiness to the world.  </p><p>We are wired for meaning and purpose, so what is the meaning and purpose behind medical hardship and disability? How can this be beautiful?  How can this bring Him glory?  How can this be for my good? </p>

Experiencing Joy in Suffering

Life is hard.  Life with chronic, critical, and complex health concerns is even harder.  We all know someone who is struggling with health issues or disability; it might even be you.  In the pain and suffering, we wonder if it is even possible to move from surviving to thriving. We often wrestle with life's greatest questions in light of deep personal pain, deep suffering, and unknowns. We struggle to hope, struggle to persevere, struggle to trust that God knows what He's doing. 

But in the struggle, there is real hope and it's possible to be rooted and ready to weather the storm. Let's journey together and dig into this real hope, real joy from a real God. Welcome to the Bluestem Project!
