Ep. 32: A Very Hard Week (That Was Still Not all Bad)
Description
Goodness gracious, friends! If you want to have a challenging week, have the audacity to publish a book called Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad. I can't tell you how many people have said, "It sure does seem like you're under spiritual attack right now, Abbie," and I suppose I have to agree, since the Bible clearly says that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual realm.
Still, the Lord has been so gracious to provide moments of respite and opportunities to recognize his mercies in the midst of the hard of back pain and scary episodes with wasp stings, and major publishing mess-ups, and, yes, an entire downstairs flooding so badly we are now living in a gutted kitchen.
Even though some will call it "toxic positivity," I'm declaring my gratitude that the Lord has given our family a peace that truly passes all understanding through our current inconvenient, and sometimes frustrating, living situation.
Be encouraged, friends. The Lord has not forgotten you in the midst of your struggles. He has a plan and a purpose for even this.

Hi Abbie! I love listening to your podcast, but it sounds like you maybe posted the unedited version for "A Very Hard Week. " I didn't mind it because it sounded like my house as well, but I just wanted you to know! Blessings!
