Suffering has been showing me who I really am and it brings me to my knees begging to be changed when I see what I’m really like, how I complain, get angry, make my frustrations known to others.

So very true. Suffering peels back all the layers and exposes the real you.

Joni, how true!
Makes me ashamed of how much flesh is left!
May we yield to the pain of life, as Christ yielded His life !

Thank you for your videos . My daughter has severe cerebral palsy. She has never walked or talked and she’s 35 . When I listen to your videos it gives me a window into her mind. Like what you say she might be experiencing or going through. I know God has a reason for everything. I know God works all things for his glory.
Some days are so hard. Some days are easy. I’m just trying to trust Gods plan. I know my daughter and I will be in line in heaven waiting to hug you say we love you and we want to sing and dance with you as we worship our Lord and Savior. I’m so excited to see my daughter walk and talk. I’m excited to see you walk too. I’m hoping when I sing in heaven that my voice sounds much better there. 😂 Hugs see you soon. You truly are a beautiful blessing to us! Thank you!

Suffering really teaching who you are . 😢my sister lost her husband and also son whose on the wheelchair over 21 years . He is suffering from the mistake of our nurses back home . This world is cruel and mad. People are cruel to those with disabilities. But our God he is the one helps to walk one step a time . He will never leave or forsake us. Joni you suffered so much but look at your faith, touching many hearts . We all will going to heaven but you are with many crowns .
