  • Sis, Give your Burdens to God

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about reconciling with my limitations and how the weight of the expectations I carry are often self-imposed. Maybe that’s your story too?

    .
    Our shoulders will always buckle under the weight of this 🌍, the pressure of it all, because it was never meant for us bear.
    .
    “Casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.”
    ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬, CSB‬‬
    .
    How uncomfortable it is to be met with these limitations head-on and lean into that weakness. How wonderfully difficult and necessary it is to lay it all down. When my grip is too tight, what a relief it is to let it all go and relinquish control. As if there was ever an alternative?!
    .
    Sweet friend, this is finding His strength in our weakness.
    .
    This is refining. This is pruning. This is His loving kindness. This is His tender mercy meeting us in the midst of the already and the not yet. What a beautiful tension we get to live in! Cast your cares on Him today

  • Are you letting fear in?
    What you fear the most reveals where you trust God the least.
    .
    I felt resistance in my heart because it forced me to face a harsh reality: There are areas in my life where I don’t fully trust God.
    .
    No one is without fear, but it’s important we occasionally stop and take inventory of those fears.
    .
    What’s weighing on us? What burden are we carrying? What keeps us up at night?
    .
    “If you’re terrified about losing your children, could it be that you aren’t trusting God to keep them safe?”
    .
    Our heaviest weights are the things we need to be praying most about. These are what we need to give to God above all others.
    .
    Take a minute, maybe even write it down, and think about where your fear is soaring and in turn, your faith lacking. Then pray for trust and help.
    .
    “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-descipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NLT —

  • grief stages in infertility
    Dealing with infertility — and all the complicated emotions that come with it — can seem impossible when you first learn of your reproductive challenges. It’s understandable. You’ve been trying to get pregnant for so long, and you’ve finally begun to realize that that may never become a reality. Before you can accept this, you have to feel it. Grieving infertility is not simple, nor is it a linear process for everyone.
