This is absolutely beautiful. Your writing captures the ebb and flow of life so honestly, the way joy and sorrow weave together, and how resilience quietly persists through it all. The way you describe the cycle of falling apart and being pieced back together resonates so deeply, it’s raw, real, and incredibly moving. I love how, even in the darkest moments, there’s a glimmer of hope, and the reminder that we’re seen and loved, even when it doesn’t feel that way. Thank you for this reminder 💛

This! Reminds me of the scripture verse “In this world, you will have trouble…but fear not, I have overcome the world.”

It is a dance that is something fast, sometimes slow and sometimes still and the call I hear is to lean into what it is each for each day. It also made me think of a time I was so caught up in grief and God whispered to me “when the tide of life or your emotions take over and you are not sure how to emerge back into the sun, let it be and give ME 24 hours.”

Things always seem to shake out for me in 24 hours and if they don’t, I give myself another 24. It is a daily walk.
