Vulnerability post…
I was feeling it on my heart this morning to share a piece of my story. The past few weeks have been heavy, and I haven't felt like myself. The weight of the world on my shoulders was taking its toll. I found myself withdrawing, telling those closest to me that I didn’t want to go to church anymore or even pray. I began questioning, 'What’s the point? God isn’t answering my prayers. Things started to feel really dark. I began acting out of character, doing things I wouldn’t normally do. Saying things I didn’t mean and shutting myself off to the world and those close to me.
But then something snapped me back to reality, and right in that moment, God showed up. He reminded me that He is always there, even when it doesn’t look or feel like it. When everything seems to be crumbling, that's when we need to hold onto our faith the most. This morning, I am so thankful for God’s mercy, which is renewed every single day. I’m grateful for the grace He’s given me—to be a mother, a provider, and a strong woman for my children and those around me.
We ALL go through things NO ONE is perfect. Stop being so hard on yourself we are our own worst critics.
Today, I want to be a light for someone else. I want to help and uplift others, to be the person God has called me to be. Moving forward, I’m holding myself accountable for the next 30 days. Instead of doing something like 75 Hard, I’m committing to a 30-day cleanse—one where I only speak love, life, and positivity. I hope this can encourage someone today. It’s never too late to turn back to God. His mercies are renewed every day. Don’t let the past condemn you, and don’t hold onto shame. Be the person God called you to be. In a world full of darkness, be a light.
If this spoke to anyone or if you need someone to pray with message me and if you’re looking to go to church there’s always an open invite to come with me.
I am far from perfect and I have done some things I am not proud of, thankfully God forgives and gives us a fresh start daily ❤️
Lamentations 3:22-23 - Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 🙏
