I love the topic for today’s challenge. I am thankful and inspired by some amazing people in my life, but one of them has been on my mind daily as of late. My friend Jill has been such an inspiration to me as I watch her grow closer to the Lord and grow deeper in understanding His grace. She is learning to trust in new ways every day. While trials are, well, exactly that, trials, what we do in the midst of them shows our true and deep character. I couldn’t get a real picture of Jill because she’s in California and I’m in Austria. So I took a picture of her blog instead. It’s not the greatest picture, but it does show a little of a person that I think is pretty great. You can read a bit about Jill’s story on her blog Joy in the Small Things. You can check out her encouraging banners in her Etsy shop.
