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.
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.
