What to do......
As a firm believer in Christ, I know all of the "correct answers" when it comes to trials, problems, and other issues we face in life. Is life hard? Of course. Jesus said we would face many trials. Paul said we are overcomers, "broken but not crushed." Foxe's Book of Martyrs provides an entirely different perspective on suffering. These are answers, like I said.

It's hard to know what the next best step to take is. So with that, we're inching along on our knees, praying for guidance. But we continue to believe that God will come through for her. For us. JG
