Happy Sunday! I have some new followers, so just a friendly reminder that my posts on Sundays are focused on faith primarily.
I am so thankful for my grandparents for their focus on faith and family, and rooting us deeply in knowing that God truly does have this world under control and that we can place our trust in that truth.
I have so many people in my life right now who are struggling. (We can’t forget to look up and reach out to those in need during the crazy summer days, too.) Friends who want to leave their partner, friends who are fighting anxiety and depression, friends who are not loving their career and are not sure where they are supposed to be, friends who have children going away to college for the first time and are truly sad, and friends who have families with serious illnesses.
Life can be hard. Some days it seems unexplainable — like there isn’t a path. But if we take a deep breath and step outside of our thoughts, we see that we are assured in the Bible that God is indeed making a way for each of us and those we love. We all have a life’s adventure that includes pure joy and pure pain.
As we go into the week, remember that everyone we encounter is struggling likely with something and maybe spend a bit of extra time this week encouraging one another. Often, if someone comes to mind, they may be just the person God is nudging you to reach out to!
As always, I’m cheering you all on! Many prayers and much love.
So true. We do need to reach out to others in need.
