Summary

Many of us are in the midst of trials and afflictions and with that comes 2 common struggles: Not feeling loved by God and Losing Our Sense of Purpose.  In today's episode, I share some things the Lord has encouraged me with in the midst of my own trials.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Link to podcast episode search bar Raising Boys to Men Book Raising Boys to Men Audiobook The Unhurried Homeschooler The Unhurried Homeschooler Audiobook Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart The Four-Hour School Day Give Send Go (link to my fundraiser) Ecclesiastes Series: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2lpOv8MddcJqkrXz11L8i2?si=4xx0ZkDMS660haf-b9n3Ng   Venmo-@Durenda-Wilson Great is Thy Faithfulness Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father; There is no shadow of turning with thee.Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be. Great is thy faithfulness,Great is thy faithfulness,Morning by morning new mercies I see.All I have needed thy hand hast provided;Great is thy faithfulness,Lord unto me. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,Sun, moon, and stars in their courses aboveJoin with all nature in manifold witnessTo thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.  Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.  Ecc. 9:7 Romans 8:35,37-39 He Giveth More Grace Listen Here 1. He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,To multiplied trials He multiplies peace. 2. When we have exhausted our store of endurance,When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,When we reach the end of our hoarded resourcesOur Father’s full giving is only begun. 3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,Our God ever yearns His resources to share;Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. 4. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,His power no boundary known unto men;For out of His infinite riches in JesusHe giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Hey moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda, wife to one, mom to eight,

0:15.0

Nana to 12, and 30-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of four books, the Unhurried Home Schooler,

0:22.3

The Four-Hourried Grace for a Mom's Heart, and Raising Boys to Men. If you have not checked

0:29.7

those books out, please do so. You can go to Amazon to find them, and I know that any one of them

0:35.9

would be an encouragement to you.

0:38.7

Well, today I'm going to be talking about challenges in the midst of trials and afflictions.

0:46.0

The challenges that I want to talk about are, I think, very common for anyone, any believer going through trials and afflictions, and hopefully if that's you,

1:19.9

listeners just somehow missed the memo.

1:23.2

And so I just want to make sure that you're aware that I am actually in the midst of my own trials

1:29.5

and afflictions, and that's where I'm speaking from. I'm speaking from that place of the unknown.

1:34.9

I don't have answers right now. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm in the midst of

1:39.5

treatments, regular treatments, alternative treatments, and just walking this road out. And it's been hard. I'm not

1:48.4

going to lie. And a couple episodes ago, I talked about, you know, just living life in the unknown

1:56.2

and how hard that can be and how God meets us there. I hope you'll go back and listen to that episode

2:02.7

because I think there's some great encouragement there for you.

2:06.5

But I think the two greatest challenges that we face
