hope for your weary soul

All I can say is that I am ever so thankful for my relationship with the Lord, because these last few months have been full of challenges and struggles.
And in those moments (and there were plenty) that I felt I just couldn’t deal anymore….I prayed for His strength to replace mine, and it always did.
When I gave up “my comfort zone” for this little experiment, I had in my mind three months.
From all that I read, and from all I talked to, it seemed 3 months was the turning point for most.
And yet, nearly every week, it felt like 3 months seemed an eternity to get through, and all I wanted to do was throw in the towel and go back.

But, I didn’t.
Because I had hope.
I had Him.

I still had (and continue to have) to work, though.
Constantly I did all I could to find a smile.
I worked and prayed for all the inner joy I could find…
and most of the time, it worked.

{what we must do for the children in our life….}
But there were times at the end of the day that I was just tired.
Tired of fighting it.
Tired of the battle.
And I would find comforting release in the warm tears that trickled down my cheeks.
At the end of this week it will be three months.
And what do you know, I’ve had an entire week where it hasn’t been work.
A week where I’ve been able to see the bright side easily…
A week where I haven’t felt the need to release through my tears…
A week of hope.

And that’s the “takeaway….”
What we need to remember when we go through our hard times.

That there is Hope.

You’re not alone.

There IS an end.
Or at least, there will be breaks.
Most importantly, there IS a lesson.
And there, as I always quote, will be beauty from pain.

I can’t say I’ll never feel the heaviness of life again.
I can’t say that anxiety is a thing of the past.
But I can say now, without a shadow of a doubt, that I can and will get through it by clinging to My Hope.


I just needed to be clear…
with all my “mood cure” talk and posts.

That the hope I have is not because of diet, or exercise, medication (or lack of), or even amazing supplements…
The hope I have is because I have placed my life forever in God’s hands.
And because of that, my weary soul can rest.

I so encourage you to do the same….
