BIGGEST STRUGGLE

Me with grandkids
My family

These are my people.

Yes, we are pretty laid back at home, and I don’t know about you, but it seems almost impossible to get a picture where everyone is looking the same way or smiling.

But that’s OK. You see, I was told I could never have children.

But God . . . He blessed us with five!

God has been so good to me. He has blessed me with more than I deserve.

He has also kept His promise to never leave me or forsake me when I’ve walked down some hard roads.

me and my husband

I vividly recall the night I found myself kneeling in my college dorm room, pouring out my heart to God and surrendering my life to His purpose.

From that moment, my life has been one of profound transformation. Along the way, I’ve encountered loss, faced rejection, weathered heartbreak, and experienced pain that I never imagined possible. There were moments when I wrestled with anger towards God and moments when His presence humbled me beyond measure.

While I may not know the details of your unique circumstances, one thing I’ve come to know with unwavering certainty is this: God is steadfastly faithful to His promises. Through the ups and downs of life, I’ve learned that true peace can only be found when I lean into God and place my trust in Him.

God guides me as I surrender to Him not only my joys and pains but also my marriage, my children, and every aspect of my life I once tried to control. He is teaching me the profound truth that relinquishing control to Him brings peace and fulfillment that surpasses all understanding.

In surrendering to His will, I’ve discovered that His ways are infinitely superior to my own. His wisdom exceeds my understanding, and His plans far surpass anything I could ever dream of.

So, friend, as you navigate the twists and turns in your life, know this: you are not alone. God’s faithfulness knows no bounds, and His love for you is immeasurable. May you find comfort and strength in the assurance that His ways are always better and His promises are forever true.

    1. Look at the top of the site and there is a form or you can email me your name and address and I’ll get one in the mail! Praying for you 🙏

  1. I have always dreamed of having a loving family,who would be bonded to one another in love and in prayer.

    How do I let go of this dream ? How do you hold a family together that does not want to be held together. Where do I go to from here?

    1. Hey Tricia,
      Usually there are several little things that lead up to people feeling this way. We know the enemy is here to steal, kill, and destroy but God has a better plan.
      This is part of the spiritual warfare we face and why it is so important we are prayer warriors for our families.
      Dont give up! No siuation is too hard for God! Praying for you and your family.

  12. Dearest Karen, This is my first time saw you here. Thanks God. I NEED you please pray for me and my marriage. My husband let his older sister control him. He is 63 . He not go church with me, that is fine. he is very weak to the command of his sister who want to break us . I am a very faithful wife, and attend church, read Bible, and prayer. All my friends who are Christians love me. I have tons of them BUT my own husband hates me(he said it) he can die for his sister who is very greedy for his money. she wants to break us because he never had his own child. I married him almost 10 yrs. now. He used to helped her financially a lot. she wants more and more. The problem is he allowed her to manipulate him and she did cause him divorced 3 times before he married me. Is she handicap? no !! she also has her own husband, her son, daughter, and grand kids. She is in my husband’s ears. “HIS NAME IS LES” Very much appreciate from the bottom of my heart for your pray for GOD break that ungodly soul tied. I need to save my marriage, I need to save my husband before it’s too late, he has heart disease. Most of all, because he is not save yet. I am a Christian for 35 yrs. Thanks again sweet sister/friend Karen, and whoever read this ,you can pray for Les, too. because you are not seeing this message by an accident. The Holy Spirit must guild you to my pray request. Thanks so much from your sister in Christ. I am Cataliya at North Carolina.

    1. I am so sorry you are going through this. I am praying for you and Les right now. Nothing is too hard for God and I am praying Les comes to know Jesus. Praying for you to have peace, comfort, strength, wisdom, and discernment as you continue to follow Christ.
