James 1: 2-4
"My Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
"COUNT IT ALL JOY"! We are facing a huge trial with Rob having his right leg amputated below the knee. Yet both of us are experiencing a joy that is indescribable! We are so very humbled and greatful for this peace and thank God every moment of every day for disolving the fear and replacing it with joy!
For those who wonder whether prayer works? You catch yourself saying "God, I'm praying for such and such and so and so, but Lord, are you HEARING my prayers?" As sure as I am typing this, GOD HEARS!!! AND HE ANSWERS!!!!
Part of me feels guilty for feeling such joy and peace with all that is going on. Yet I know that this gift of peace is a gift directly from the God of the universe. He loves me THAT MUCH!!!
I am so undeserving of this kind of love. "Thank You" just doesn't seem like eough. But I know that God doesn't want a thank you, He simply loves THAT MUCH!!!
So I will say it, "Thank You, Father, for loving me so much that you have breathed peace and a true joy into my heart despite the circumstances surrounding us!"
I can only pray that all of my friends, family, every person that God has created gets just even a moment to experience this kind of peace and joy!

I know that peace and joy you're speaking of. That is the Holy Spirit. Isn't it amazing. No human being could feel this way on their own under these circumstances, that is how you can know that you're not alone. God is in control!
