Description
“In my darkest hour, I (Julia) had open chest surgery. The surgery wasn’t successful. Unfortunately, I was still bleeding internally and in my darkest hour I could barely gasp for a breath and felt like I was drowning. I was slipping away and I knew it. That is not the story – that is the situation – fill in the blank of your adversity.”
The above words are from my dear friend, Julia, who is the inspiration for this book. No matter what your situation, your story begins with how you respond to the challenge. Julia believed faith in God and maintaining a positive attitude were the keys that kept her going through seven years of battling a rare form of cancer. However, what I learned through walking that seven year journey by her side needs to be shared.
Each chapter of Joy Comes in the Morning is a lesson learned about overcoming adversity and finding joy even in the midst of pain, conflict or every day struggles. Each lesson walks through the typical steps of finding joy: asking why, accepting God’s love, persevering, staying the course of your unique journey, accepting a helping hand, giving back to others, adopting the right attitude, and experiencing true victory.
Much of this book came from speeches Julia gave or emails sent by Julia’s family members. The story is Julia’s. The lessons are mine. This is not another book about cancer. Rather it is a book about hope and overcoming adversity. The book is meant to be shared in small group discussion or personal journalling, or simply to read on your own and be encouraged by the lessons learned from the love that is shared between friends and family, and the renewed knowledge that you can withstand any adversity for a season, and then “joy comes in the morning.”
