"What are you facing?"

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

 Our younger daughter is now a high school senior. How her mother is old enough for her “baby girl” to be a high school senior, I’m not sure, but it’s a new reality for all of us. Now we’ve been here before with her older sister. Nonetheless, we’re facing another life transition.

This life transition was never clearer than a couple of weeks when my wife and I were talking with a friend of our daughter’s. “Congratulations!” I said. “You’re now a senior.”

“Yea, I know,” the friend said. “But I’m not so sure about being a senior.”

“What do you mean?” I said.

“Well,” she said, “I’m not so sure I’m ready to go to college, but it’s getting time to go.”

I can relate, can’t you? I’ve faced some life transitions—and still do—and not been so sure I was ready. Fear fuzzes up my focus because I’ve not been in this situation before. When I’m in these situations, I remind myself—Faith in God gets rid of fear. God has faced all situations. God faces ours with us.

So listen to your life and keep the faith as you make a life, not just a living.
