Hello everyone! I just wanted to share that my mom, Liz Adleta, has begun posting regularly on Substack as she works towards getting her book “Dancing On Raindrops” published soon. It’s a book telling the story of her life. I’ve read her book and it is amazing, well-written, and full of encouraging stories from the mission field around the world.

Here is a bit of her latest post for you to enjoy:

“…After sharing my welcome message, I found myself thinking about the many storms that marked my life, perhaps your life too? Some troubles we brought on ourselves, we may blame others for some, and perhaps even blame God. If you’ve lived long enough, you know that joy isn’t always obvious in any of these. Sometimes it hides behind disappointment, heartache, betrayal, or simple exhaustion. And yet, again and again through the years, I’m learning that joy is not something we chase through circumstances or even through other people. Joy is something, or Someone, rather, that we fix our eyes upon. The Scriptures say that Jesus endured the cross “for the joy set before Him” (Hebrews 12:2). It wasn’t the people, or the nails or the cruelty or the injustice that held Him there. It was joy — the joy of rescuing us, redeeming us, restoring us to fellowship with Himself and with the Father. The joy of knowing us, loving us, and bringing many sons and daughters home…” – Liz Adleta
