Ever talked to someone who is in a "Desert Season" of life?  They’re stuck in unwanted and unalterable circumstances and yet they’ve gotten to the place where they’re able to receive their circumstances, afflictions, losses, and their journey as filtered through the hand of their heavenly Father?  Wow!  How do these people maintain their faith and keep going despite extraordinarily difficult circumstances?

The apostle Paul had a “thorn” that he repeatedly asked God to take away - yet God chose not to.  Paul shows us the foundation for life in the desert - and that’s the promise of the power of God and His sustaining grace.
