Wife of Seasons of Sorrow author, Tim Challies
Reconciling pain with the goodness of God is the hardest aspect of the Christian life for me. I find it difficult to trust God's goodness when my circumstances cause me emotional or physical pain.
I was blessed to talk about this topic with Aileen Challies yesterday. Aileen is the wife of Tim Challies, who authored the book "Seasons of Sorrow." This book, which honestly seems a devotional of sorts, shows the reader how Tim walked through the sudden and unexpected death of his twenty-year-old son, Nick, from cardiac arrest.
Aileen spoke to me about her journey with grief after her son's death. We talked about topics such as anger against God, the traumatic effects of losing a loved one, and how pain does not negate God's goodness even when it feels like it.
Please enjoy the thirty-eighth installment in a "glimpse into a life series" highlighting Aileen Challies. Thank you, Aileen, for sharing with me how you walked through the valley of the shadow of death with our Great Shepherd.
