God is not outside this grief, He is with you in it.
There is something holy about grief. Not because it feels good or because we understand it—but because God meets us there.
We often feel pressure to move past our sorrow. To find the silver lining. To clean up our tears and point to hope before we’ve even had time to weep.
But the heart of our God is not one who rushes us past our pain.
He is not uncomfortable with our lament.
He is not impatient with our sadness.
God is not outside your grief.
He is not standing at a distance, waiting for you to “get over it.”
He is sitting with you in it.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in ...
Joy in the Storm
Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus
The loss of a baby has a way of unsettling us, it’s like a storm we never saw coming. Grief, loss, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming, threatening to pull us under. Yet, I have learned that when I keep my gaze on Jesus, everything shifts—my perspective, my heart, and my hope.
Only in Him can I find joy that isn’t tied to my circumstances. The world says happiness comes from ease and comfort, but Scripture tells a different story—one of peace that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:7) and joy that is made complete in Him (John 15:11). When I set the Lord before me, I will not be shaken (Psalm ...
Pregnant Again After Loss – Finding Comfort in the Nearness of Jesus
Pregnancy after loss is a journey filled with emotions that can’t be neatly categorized. It’s joy and sorrow intertwined. Hope and fear colliding. A deep love for the life growing inside you, mixed with the grief of the life that was lost. It’s carrying new life while still carrying the weight of loss.
One of the greatest comforts I found in that journey came from John 11, in Jesus’s interaction with Mary and Martha after the death of their brother, Lazarus. He knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, yet He didn’t rush past their pain. He didn’t tell them to stop crying or remind them that something good was coming. Instead, ...
To the mama whose arms are empty this Mother’s Day
I see you. I see your pain. I see the ache that words cannot touch and the longing that time does not erase. I see your love, deep and unshaken, stretching across the space between you and your precious child.
I know this day is hard. It’s a day that magnifies the ache of what should have been, what once was, or what you dreamed would be. A day that reminds us of just how fragile and broken this world can be. While others celebrate with flowers, handmade cards, and sticky little fingers wrapped around theirs, you are left holding memories, longing, and love that has nowhere tangible to go.
I may not know your exact story—whether your child ...
In Christ, Nothing is Wasted
What Does It Mean That "All Things Work Together for Good"?
Romans 8:28 is one of those verses we cling to in our suffering:
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”
But let’s be honest—there are days when this verse feels hard to believe.
What does “all things” really mean?
What kind of good could possibly come from the heartbreak we carry?
Let’s look at what Paul says just a few verses earlier in Romans 8:20-23:
“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the ...
