COLLEEN CHAO has written extensively about finding God's goodness in the unexpected chapters of her life, including singleness, chronic illness, and terminal cancer.

“Jayni dropped her gaze and asked quietly, “Will I get a
small box since I haven’t had cancer?”

“Oh, child, life in your shadow world is hard, even
without cancer. Suffering comes in many forms. But joy comes when you understand that this is the real world, here with me, and all those troubles in your world won’t last forever.”
Colleen Elisabeth Chao, Out of the Shadow World

“And sooner or later, lad—he does heal everyone physically. Sometimes he heals them right away, just as soon as they arrive here. And sometimes he waits till . . . well, till much later.”
Colleen Elisabeth Chao, Out of the Shadow World

“The healing man left me a wee bit broken so I could understand”—he looked back at his friends—“Kai and Tilly, Roe, Reece, and Jed. And dozens o’ others. When a sufferin’ creature shows up at me cottage, I get to help ’em and bring ’em here. Show ’em the way up the mountain. Fact is, they probably wouldn’t listen to me if I didn’t have this wooden stump. It’s proof that I’ve suffered too.”
Colleen Elisabeth Chao, Out of the Shadow World
