I couldn’t be more excited for this podcast! @kjramseywrites has been a huge inspiration and encouragement to me in my own writing and daily battle with chronic illness.

Her new podcast called #thistooshalllast reminds us that stories of suffering are worth telling and worth living, and that when we make space to talk about the hard things in our lives, we are filled with the courage to live like that’s actually true.

To celebrate, her publisher @Zondervan Reflective is giving away a pair of AirPods! To enter, share about the podcast on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook with #ThisTooShallLast and tag @kjramseywrites by 11:59pm MST Friday 1/31/20.

And go check out the first two episodes now—they’re amazing! 🙌🏼

You may not feel him at first. You may not recognize his presence in the face across the table, in the fingers bound in yours, or in the prayers whispered softly over you.

You may not know it was him until long after the moment has gone.

But his coming near will leave you with the surest feeling that you’ve been held. That you never would have made it so far on your own.

When God comes near, he promises to carry us through every heartache. And when God comes near, he’s reminding us that he is always, always here. ❤️

All throughout these last few months of struggle, stillness, and quiet, I have felt the same small pull on my heart, like a slow whisper—

Let Him be enough for you.

My heart resists and it fights, looking for “enough” in everything else. But when I come up empty—when I realize at the end of the day how much I still long for a healthy body, for fuller relationships, for deeper joy—I feel the same gentle nudge.

Let Him be enough for you.

The flowers of the field do not envy, worry, strive, or fear. For all that He has offered them, and all the beauty He has made, and every drop of rain that falls—it’s all enough.

May His plentiful provision be enough for us, too. ☀️

The bad news is that it won’t always be easy. But the good news is that we were never made to do this alone.

Sometimes the sweetest freedom comes from letting ourselves be seen. And I mean all of us—including the tears, the sorrow, the messes, the flaws, the fears. When we let our whole, true selves be fully seen, we open the door to being most fully known and deeply loved.

I hope that you might taste these sweet fruits of surrender in your life today.

In your seasons of stillness, of quiet, of loss, wait before the Lord. He’ll be there—you’ll see. It may not be in your timing, and it may not be how you imagined, but when he comes, you won’t be able to miss it.

Until then, wait patiently to see his mysteries unfold. Wait for his abundance. Wait to feel the tides come in, wait to feel his waves wash over your toes and your ankles. Wait to feel his warmth upon your face. He’ll be there—you’ll see.

New mercies. Every. Single. Morning.

As I drove myself home yesterday—numb from exhaustion, frustrated by how little progress it seems I’ve made in healing my sick body—I was struck by this line from a song as it trickled out my speakers and flooded the cold air.

His mercies are new every morning. We’ve heard it so many times, and yet how often have we failed to let it soak deeply into the fabric of our stories?

These simple words sing of the marvelous promise that when we don’t know where our stories are heading, or when we fear how they might end, tomorrow is always a new day—full of hope and full of His mercy. Truly, it couldn’t get any better than this.

This life will hand us days when the ache feels oh, so strong. There will be days when the wounds feel too deep. When it all feels like too much to bear.

May these be the days when we lift our eyes to see the morning light flooding through barren branches. There is no ache so strong and no wound so deep that the light cannot find them. May we thank the Lord for for windows, for sunlit mornings, and for meeting us in the middle of our messes.

I’ve been slowly soaking in some sweet truths from @meredith_mcdaniel these last couple of months. Her new book In Want + Plenty comes out next week, and I could not recommend it more highly!

I’ve been rather quiet on here in the public eye as I’ve been processing the many waves of life that have crashed and washed over me these last few months. But I haven’t stopped writing. And someday soon the time will come to share what has been lost and what has been reaped in this season.

For now, I’m hopping in (though a little late) on the In Want + Plenty IG challenge. It’s time to hunt for some beauty, truth, and manna in my story these next few days. We’d love for you to join in!
