A Grace Place
We thought we would handle grief so well together, until the rubber hit the road. Then he wanted to talk. And I really didn’t. We weren’t coping well.
Discovering the four ways of coping under pressure gave us an understanding of how and why we respond differently in difficult times.
Everything was going my way, and I thought I knew what contentment was. But then God moved me to a new, harder place. What is he teaching me? Can I be content when I’m not exactly…happy?
When stress piles up the pressure builds, like a balloon. But we have the ultimate balloon artist to make something beautiful out of our difficulties.
When difficulties hit we may be tempted to hunker down. To hole up and wait for the sadness to pass. But a balloon bouquet is so much more beautiful than a single desperate balloon trying to go it alone. Stress needs community.
We thought it would never happen to us. We were loyal! We were helpful! When church hurts, these three things remain true.
