What do we do when life presents us with the unexpected? Where do we turn when trials we never expected to encounter become our everyday reality?

Today, I have the honor of sharing a guest post on the topic on @apurposeinpain's blog. Find the post through the link in bio.

A single flower blooming in full glory among weeds

A single flower blooming in full glory among weeds. A single flower that managed to grow from four packets of carefully planted seeds. A single flower to remind me that hope always remains.

What has stirred you toward hope lately?

We’ve been living in a season filled with uncert

We’ve been living in a season filled with uncertainty for a while now. Yet, the pandemic likely isn’t the only heavy thing in your life. Whether it be the added stress of a chronic illness or rare disease, grief or loss, family or marital strain, the struggles faced in “precedented times” haven’t gone away. Those struggles are ever-present…and in a pandemic, likely heavier than ever before.

In the heaviness, I keep being drawn to one specific word: perseverance.

As we persevere through our own distinct struggles, I want to share with you a prayer for perseverance to uplift when it all feels too much as a way to connect with God. Find it linked in bio. I pray it blesses you.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wou

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure." Psalm 147:3-6 ESV

When we pursue the Lord, He meets us where we are, just as we are—no matter how bruised or broken. May we soak in these truths.

Hopping back into the last day of the #joyamidstan

Hopping back into the last day of the #joyamidstanxiety challenge and today’s prompt feels fitting after spending the last few days practicing what I’m about to “preach” // one way you’re stronger than pre-covid.

Enduring the struggles of recent years has taught me just how precious life truly is—how it can change in an instant and how important it is to live in the present (no matter how imperfectly I happen to do it).

This season, I’ve often felt stretched to be present, but it’s also within this season that I’ve honed in on how I want to spend my time and energy.

The old me would have been anxious about not fully “completing” this challenge like I set out to do at the start of the week. The new me knows better. The last few days were spent focused on loving, supporting, and celebrating some of the people who mean the most to me in life. The rest can always wait.

Much love to the new Mr. and Mrs. ❤️🌻✨

Jodie seriously questioned how "life to the full"

Jodie seriously questioned how "life to the full" could be true for her 13-year-old son with a worsening intellectual disability. As she wrestled with the unfairness of Daniel’s situation, she asked God for courage and comfort amid the unknown path.

God heard her prayer and Jodie felt His comfort in the difficult days that followed as Daniel underwent three brain surgeries that led to a brain cancer diagnosis.

Surprisingly, it was through Daniel’s roller coaster of a cancer journey that he has shown Jodie what Jesus’ life to the full really looks like.
