"Do you ever get frustrated?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

I was working on a Listen to Life project, and things weren’t going exactly right. They were moving much slower than I wanted and I was getting a little frustrated.

Just then a phone call came for me. My first thought was, "Oh great! Now I’m never going to get done." But I answered the call anyway and boy am I glad I did.

You see, it was Adelle. Now I didn’t know Adelle, and still haven’t met her in person. But Adelle had gone to the trouble of tracking down my phone number and calling me because she wanted me to know how much Listen to Life means to her. She reads it in her local paper and it blesses her.

Adelle is wheelchair bound. She told me, "I can’t get out like everybody else, but I can read your column and call people and read it to them and let them know how much God loves them."

As I said "Good-bye" to Adelle, my frustration with my project was gone, and I remembered why I do what I do.

When you’re frustrated today, remember why you do what you do.
