Hi, friends.
Today I just wanted to sit down and write from my heart.
If you’ve been reading here for a while, you know that I don’t usually share every detail of what’s happening in my life. I like to process things quietly before talking about them. But lately, I’ve been learning something that I think is worth sharing, because maybe someone else needs this reminder today as much as I do.
Sometimes life falls apart.
Not all at once, but little by little.
One phone call. One unexpected bill. One closed door. One disappointment. One unanswered prayer. One change of plans after another.
Before you know it, you’re sitting there wondering, “God… what are You doing?”
I’ve asked that question more than once lately.
There have been moments when I’ve looked around and thought, “None of this is going the way I imagined.”
The plans I carefully made changed.
The things I thought were secure suddenly weren’t.
The future that seemed so clear became filled with questions.
As a wife, a mama, and someone trying to build a business while raising two little girls, I won’t pretend those moments haven’t been hard. There have been nights when I lay awake thinking about everything that still needed an answer. Days when I smiled because my girls needed me, while quietly asking God to give me strength for just one more day.
And yet…
In the middle of all the uncertainty, I’ve discovered something beautiful.
God has never once stopped being faithful.
Not for a single day.
When I didn’t know what tomorrow would look like, He still provided what I needed for today.
When I felt weak, He gave me enough strength for the next step.
When I didn’t know where the answer would come from, He reminded me that He has never depended on my understanding to accomplish His plans.
I think sometimes we believe that if life is hard, something must be wrong.
But Scripture tells us something different.
It tells us that storms come.
It tells us that trials will happen.
It tells us that we will face difficulties in this world.
But it also tells us that we never face them alone.
One of the biggest lessons God has been teaching me lately is this:
My peace cannot depend on my circumstances. It has to depend on His character.
Because circumstances change.
People change.
Jobs change.
Finances change.
Health changes.
Plans change.
But God doesn’t.
He is still the same faithful Father today that He was yesterday.
Sometimes we hold so tightly to our own plans that when they fall apart, we think everything is lost.
But maybe…
Maybe what feels like everything falling apart is actually God gently taking apart the things that were never meant to hold us in the first place.
Our security was never supposed to be in money.
Or careers.
Or businesses.
Or perfectly planned futures.
Our security has always been in Christ.
I’ve realized that faith isn’t believing God only when everything is going well.
Faith is choosing to trust Him when nothing around you makes sense.
It’s praying when you don’t yet see the answer.
It’s worshipping while you’re still waiting.
It’s thanking Him before the miracle arrives.
It’s believing that even when your eyes can’t see His hand, your heart can trust His heart.
Maybe you’re in a season like that today.
Maybe you’re carrying burdens that no one else knows about.
Maybe you’re trying your best to hold everything together, but inside you feel like you’re falling apart.
Friend, can I gently remind you of something?
You don’t have to hold everything together.
God is already holding you.
Even when your grip feels weak, His grip on you never is.
He isn’t surprised by your circumstances.
He isn’t overwhelmed by your problems.
He hasn’t forgotten your prayers.
And He certainly hasn’t forgotten you.
If today feels heavy, don’t give up.
Keep praying.
Keep trusting.
Keep taking one faithful step at a time.
One day you’ll look back and see that what felt like everything was falling apart was actually God lovingly putting your life together in a way you never could have imagined.
His plans are always better than ours, even when we can’t understand them yet.
So today, I’m choosing to trust.
Not because I have all the answers.
But because I know the One who does.
If all you can do today is hold on to Jesus, then that’s enough.
And when you feel like you don’t even have the strength to hold on anymore, remember this:
He is holding on to you.
Always.
