Whatever we are going through, he is with us and we are never alone.<\/p>\n<p>I hope and pray that my message encourages readers to remember that they are not alone when they are going through tough times. We often don&#8217;t understand why God allows certain things to happen to us or those we love, but we can trust that he is good, that he is sovereign and in control, and that he will never leave us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A FEW OF SARA&#8217;S FAVORITE THINGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite place to read:<\/strong> On a Muskoka chair on the shore of a lake<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite book character from childhood:<\/strong> Anne of Green Gables<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie:<\/strong> Shawshank Redemption<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite quote or Bible verse: &#8230;<\/strong>the mere obeying is also intrinsically good, for, in obeying, a rational creature consciously enacts its creaturely role, reverses the act by which we fell, treads Adam\u2019s dance backward, and returns.
