![]() ![]() I prayed God would be gracious with Jason and the kids, and bring them someone that would love them with a fierce uniqueness. The other day I was praying for that woman that might come after me. She writes about what it means to dwell in love within the sovereignty of God. ![]() She writes about the letting go of what is passing to embrace what is eternal. In the chapter that haunts me, Kara writes of the long talks she has had with Jason, her husband of 16 years, planning for the day when she is no longer there. Reading is to be shocked, over and over, by the audacity of her hope. I read an advance copy of it, hence my Beliefnet piece about it. Kara has a book coming out in a few weeks called The Hardest Peace. ![]() Her hope is so much more credible because it’s not based on pious cliches or happy talk. As I explain in this Beliefnet column, one thing that makes her cancer blog so great is that she doesn’t shrink from talking about the hard realities she’s dealing with. She writes a great blog about it called Mundane Faithfulness (she’s a Christian). I’ve written here before about Kara Tippetts, the Colorado Springs wife and mother of four who is in the late stages of her battle with cancer. ![]()
