As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
—Psalm 84:6 NKJV
This is the valley of weeping. So it’s all of our hardships and struggles and pain. But in those dark valleys, through the Lord’s grace, we can make a well of His goodness to drink from.
—Rosann Coulon
Do you struggle with seeing God as your good Father?
Is your own relationship with your earthly father full of heartache?
In this episode of Behold-Her Beauty Podcast, I sat down with my friend author Rosann Coulon to explore her new book 40 Days to God, My Father: Finding Shelter in the Heart of God. This book chronicles Rosann's personal journey through her earthly father's medication dependence, her chronic illness, and her turning to God for His comfort. It is a love story of the goodness of the Lord where we can find refuge in God the Father's heart.
Our conversation was not just an interview, but a heartfelt exchange where Rosann shared her book journey, her experience with chronic illness, and how her faith was impacted by her father's struggle with chronic pain and pain medication addiction. We delved into the challenge of trusting God, dealing with body image issues, and finding joy in life's trials. Rosann also shared about her ministry work, the significance of understanding God as a loving Father, and the importance of scripture and counseling in healing. The episode concludes with Rosann's heartfelt prayer, a moment that truly touched me.
