This has been my despair in the last while. Life has been very messy lately. I have to look back to a time when it was almost this bad and God gave me a reset. I should write a post about it, but I PSTD from an accident that happened at my house. A year later my oldest daughter had just gotten married, I was overwhelmed and wanted a break from my life. A woman from my church prayed with me and told me to abide with Christ. I thought I was but I was far from God at that point. A few months later I got a bad concussion, and it reset my spiritual life. I could do nothing but sit in my room for months. I was homeschooling 5 kids and working in my husband’s business. I spent much of that time listening to audio books, Christian music and podcasts. I know God can help me through it but I am tired. Your words are very healing, Sarah. 🩷

Sarah, when I click on the link for the subscriber chat, it does nothing even though I'm in the app. Where do I find that?

You know that's all I've known is chaos and hard times. But Lord Jesus has always been there. I have even been mad at him but I tell the devil he'll never make me hate him or turn from him.

Sarah, I’m so encouraged to keep pressing on after reading (or listening) to your blogs. Have an adult son with untreated mental illness who is currently homeless and I’m praying for him to see how much he needs to accept help and be willing to get on meds. Keep writing!

This touched me so deeply—thank you for sharing it. It’s incredible how perfectly your words echo the very heart of what I'm feeling today. It feels like a divine confirmation, gentle and timely.

Your letter is a gift. So much grace in every sentence. I felt seen, understood, and reminded that I don’t need to have it all together to be carried by the One who holds it all.

Thank you for writing with such honesty and compassion. It means more than you know.

❤️ we all have our seasons. We have to battle against heaviness and feeling overwhelmed. I am in a space of questioning next steps and encouraging myself in God‘s word. I reminded myself to put on a garment of praise and to chase the heaviness away. I thank you for your words today. I do hope it encourages someone else and I will gladly share this post.
