Would you agree with Kim that “walking in blind faith is not for wimps”?
Both Lauren and Joey grieved when Speckles died, forming their own support group. Joey’s physical presence became a way for Lauren to experience God’s invisible presence. Both helped her begin to heal. Has God ever displayed his presence in surprising ways that brought you closer to him?
Following a period of intense grief and adjustment, Joey once again began to thrive—learning vocal commands, carrying a rider without a lead line, and helping Aly find her voice. Have you suffered a significant loss that makes it difficult to see past the pain? Do you find encouragement from Joey’s grief process and renewed purpose following Speckles’ death? What new joy and purpose might await you in this new season?
