Thank you so much for saying that (and everything else you said), Kindly. It is astonishing to think that I could bring someone hope! And I think you have pinpointed quite exactly the driving forces for me and DnJ. We are like two good parents with different focus points so you can go to the one you need that day. : ) Not that I don't want peace and not that he doesn't bring hope. But I am often an anxiety-ridden ball of tears and yet always always I have hope and have my eye on the light. DnJ's remarkable level of peace is something to behold but when DnJ describes his least peaceful battles, I feel a lot of comfort in that. It reminds me that peace is a grace, and that we can still be walking in the light even if we don't have peace yet.


I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
