You know when you get a comment from someone like “wow, your son is getting so tall!” and you hadn’t really noticed because you see him every day or when you turn to talk to him and the light hits just right that you notice peach fuzz on his upper lip and realize puberty is already here?

It’s kinda like that– healing happens with time. Hearts mend piece by piece, and God moves in sometimes obvious but other times subtle ways. He wants us to notice, pay attention, see it, acknowledge Him, thank Him, and build altars to look back and remember. To build altars for future generations to come across, markers of His provision, His peace, His presence.

I remember how broken I was at one point in my marriage. Broken to the point of literal skin and bones, a scarlet letter, and on the edge of social situations, ostracized and sinking in shame. But Hope was found in the dark, in the sleepless nights, in the gasps of breath between sobs as I learned how to look up instead of in.

Out of that pain, this podcast was born.

To quote a song by Maverick City Music: “So I’ll look back over my life and see how things have changed… to say You are good.” All I can say is You are good.

Come celebrate with me as I look back over the journey of The Jar Podcast as it hits 2 years old and hear some goals for a brand new season!

Loads of Love, Lydia
