“ Joni discovered the best way to put the halter on her horse without being animal resisting and fleeing was to turn her back until he nuzzled up to her. At that point, she could slip the halter on. Just so, she surmises, sometimes God waits for us to turn our backs on what we desire most and to trust Him. ”

~ Joni Eareckson Tada

He had no real fellowship so that fellowship might be yours, this moment. This alone is enough cause for great gratitude!

~ Joni Eareckson Tada

He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.
