Months before Jay’s first symptoms appeared, I felt compelled to start keeping a journal. Looking back on those fledgling entries, I recognize now that my decision to begin journaling at that particular time was prophetic.Writing in that 'safe place' reconnected me to my heavenly Fatherduring the most turbulent time of my life. As Jay was losing hisbattle with ALS, I found myself groping for the journal and pen.At my lowest times, I found God speaking encouragement to methrough others. Countless times I recorded something in my journalsspoken from the lips of strangers, friends, mentors, and pastors.These were bits of light and wisdom that I tried to implement inmy hectic life as Jay’s wife and caregiver. Now I’m very gratefulthey are preserved as a resource during times of trouble.As you juggle the physical and emotional challenges of being a caregiver orcaring supporter, it is my prayer that this book will provide encouragement,compassion, affirmation and hope. God will meet you right were youare, and remain beside you every step of the way. Join Him where He isalready at work. He will equip you to do all that you need to accomplish,just as He led me through my journey to completion, one step at a time.
