Lean In

I don't know anything about this picture at the top right of my blog, other than the child looks exactly like my sweet daughter Joy when she was a child. She died of an accidental drug overdose on October 15, 2020, at the age of 19. This image represents the exact message I want to convey in this blog - that if we lean in close to our Father, especially during times of suffering and hardship, He will give us the grace to endure  the pain and even produce joy, growth, and victory in a place we never thought possible. When we lean in to God, like this child leans into the Father, we learn to trust that He is all about working everything to the good.

I do not own the rights to this picture. I searched for an artist/photographer to request permission to use it but was unsuccessful. If you have information about the artist, please let me know. I want to use it with proper permission.
