I’m so grateful to the Lord for his grace to me. Sometimes we’ll think our lives are over because, in a way, they are, as we’ve known them. We’ll think it’s all stumbling numb or tumbling wounded from here. And then 1 day it’s like, maybe not. Maybe we mistook different for done.
I started streaming #OutDaughtered for 1st time As soon as @AdamBuzz said he wanted to talk to a pastor in Nashville about depression I knew it was @JarridWilson My heart sank seeing/hearing Jarrid again It’s been almost 2 years & I still can’t believe he’s gone #SuicideAwareness
Yes!!! 👏🏻 Rally behind those with cancer AND don’t dismiss those fighting chronic illness. Listen to us, believe us, never pity us, and please don’t suggest a hobby or more exercise. We’re some of the strongest people you will ever meet. 💪🏻
When someone has cancer, the community rallies. People run 10K's to raise money, bring food, & offer to babysit.
When someone has ME/CFS, Lyme+, or another marginalized chronic condition, they're told to think positively & get a hobby.
This. Has. To. Change.
@StevePhillipsMD Thank you! I lived with a CFS diagnosis for 18 years. With that came judgment, dismissal, and “you just have to live like this.” Six years ago I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Dysautonomia, Mitral Valve Prolapse, & Hypothyroidism. That was a lot to “just live with.”
Seeking God isn’t meant to be a one-time event. We’re not meant to run off the fuel of an occasional encounter with our Father’s love. Rather, seeking and finding God’s heart is to be at the foundation of all we do.
Others might disappoint you and leave you . . . but God never will.
Hold on tight to that hope today, friend.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut. 31:6
The hard situations we're facing? We don’t need to know all the details of how it will turn out. We just need to keep our hearts positioned closely to God in trust. And He will surround us with His reassurances and perfect love.
If sin can destroy:
- Samson, the strongest.
- Solomon, the wisest.
- Judas, a disciple.
- David, a man after God’s own heart.
It will try to outsmart, overpower, and overcome you as well.
Keep your guard up. Fix your eyes on Jesus. (Hebrews 12:2)
Alright @kelly_clarkson. We’re here in Duluth & can’t wait to see you tonight. 👏🏻 If you want to meet an incredible 15 y/o who has overcome A LOT, my daughter, sister & I will be in Sec 216. #Soexcited#Mydaughter#1stconcert
@Meliree @kelly_clarkson Yes!!! She’s an amazing artist, phenomenal singer, great role model, and someone whose music doesn’t have to be censored. That’s hard to find these days. My sister & I saw her in concert 10+ years ago & Kelly is just as talented in person. 👌🏼💯
@kelly_clarkson my 15 y/o daughter has been having prophetic dreams lately & she keeps dreaming that she gets to meet you. We’ll be at your show in Duluth on the 28th. I so hope this reoccurring dream is prophetic too! We adore you!
@Meliree @kelly_clarkson Meee too!! “Because of You” has done wonders for me & my sister (also going to the concert) & my daughter relates soooo much to “Piece by Piece”. She planned to sing it at her school talent show but it was cancelled.
God’s love for us is fiercely tender and He will go to great lengths to protect us, provide for us, and put us in positions that allow us to grow.
We may not understand it. We may not like it. But we can rest in the absolute assurance of His love.
