Fear doesn’t have a natural conclusion. Fear never ends on its own because it always moves the goal posts, rewrites the rules and changes the game. Fear doesn’t finish, bravery starts. If you’re waiting for fear to conclude, quit waiting. Choose bravery.
God is working things out. He’s not far away. He is right here with us. We need to cling to this hope. Believe this hope. Live out this hope. Even if our prayers aren’t answered in the way and the timing we want. Even when this process feels messy. We will trust that God is good.
There are so many things I love about who God is - one of them being that He can handle anything we confess to Him.
He is a safe place. For our deepest hurts… our most doubt-filled questions… even our most daring dreams. We can take it all to Him. Psalm 62:8
Following Jesus means climbing, tripping, dusting ourselves off, and climbing some more. Faith isn’t a business trip walked on a sidewalk; it’s an adventure worked out on a steep and sometimes difficult trail.

My 5-year-old hit her head on a swing set pole.
I did a victory fist pump because she wasn't getting sent home for a close covid contact.
Parenting is all about lowering your standards.
