007: When Faith Feels Frail (but God Stays the Same)
Manage episode 514598989 series 3682315
In this short and unfiltered episode, I talk about being thankful that God never changes—even when I do.
Lately, I’ve felt jaded and foggy. I finally submitted my book proposal, but my heart has felt weak. My faith feels small, and I miss the girl I used to be—confident, funny, fully alive—yet back then, I was spiritually dead. Now I’m alive, but some days I feel dead.
Justice mentioned that he senses something shifting, like a storm is brewing in a good way. He doesn’t usually say things like that, and it made me wonder what the Lord might be preparing.
I also share a lighthearted moment: entering Darylan Denner’s giveaway with Ring Concierge and watching my comment take off. It made me smile, thinking how full-circle it would be to meet them since they gave to our GoFundMe after Valor died.
And then there’s this thought I couldn’t shake—how God is the original interior designer. He brought order from chaos and gave such careful instruction about His dwelling place in the tabernacle. Maybe that’s why I care so deeply about my home and surroundings. Maybe I don’t need new things. Maybe I just need to create beauty with what I already have.
This one’s more of a brain dump before I left for York to visit a friend—but maybe that’s exactly what it needed to be. God’s truth holds steady, even when our emotions don’t.
