When we embrace our trials, they add one joy after another ~ joy-fruit for our strength to endure and glorify Him. Follow one trail of my joy. I fell while in Nevada housesitting for my parents. I went back to Oregon.

When Mt. St. Helens erupted, I had to move back home with my parents. That opened the door for me to go to a chiropractor that adjusted my skull. In the fall my skull bones were pushed over to the left. He took my head in his hands and said, “Did you ever fall headfirst?”

At that point I remembered the fall. Through his adjustment I was able to walk again, and my nightly temporary paralysis left. I was able to go back to work after being off work for six and one half years. Tracing God’s amazing orchestration through our trials is another joy that we can count.
