Its OK to Hold Both Pain and Joy
|
Hey Reader, I'm just letting you know that you'll be getting more emails than usual as we wrap up 2024. They will be worth reading and sharing in Jesus's name! I want to encourage you today that it is okay to feel both... Life has a way of weaving the most unexpected emotions together. Joy and sorrow, celebration and mourning – they often walk hand in hand, creating a bittersweet melody that reminds us we are human. Right now, I’m living in this tension. I’m celebrating the birth of one daughter while mourning the absence of my first daughter, Journey Faith. It doesn’t hurt any less, but I’ve learned to carry the pain differently. Life can be complicated like that. And sis, it’s absolutely normal to feel both deeply. This season has taught me that embracing both the pain and the joy is not a contradiction. It’s an act of faith. It’s a reminder that God is present in every part of our story – the laughter, the tears, and the spaces in between. Have an amazing holiday season on purpose, Reader! P.S.- Do me a favor, Reader? Pop this email into the Primary tab of your inbox so you don't miss a single challenge. |

I'm still in awe of how God answered. He didn't have to do it, but He did. And, I can't thank Him enough. Sometimes, life...
Hey Reader Happy Monday to You! Recently, I shared a post on Instagram about recognizing the voice of God—and wow, I was blown away by how many resonated with this struggle. It's a journey, isn't it? One that's both deeply personal and incredibly vital to our faith walk. I know firsthand how challenging it can be. There are moments I find myself asking, "Lord, are You even speaking to me?" But here's the beautiful truth: God is always speaking. Sometimes, though, we need to fine-tune our...
Hey Reader, Happy March! Scripture for the Month: “ “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” — Isaiah 43:19 As we step into... a new month, I want to remind you of a powerful promise from God: Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, waiting for a breakthrough, or wondering if God is still working in your life. Let this be your confirmation—He is making a way, even in the most impossible situations. “...
