Fluent in the story of tomorrow, my heart envision

Fluent in the story of tomorrow, my heart envisioned scene upon scene of a future where my little one grew and laughed and lived.
.
Yet, dreams that once danced deep in the hollows of my heart now rest inside a slip of bygone time.
.
One moment I was pregnant with life—the next, a heartbeat lost to eternity.
.
Whether miscarriage or other aching loss, perhaps you, too, know this empty echo in your spirit as you grieve your beautiful dreams interrupted. I’m so sorry for your loss, dear friend.
.
It’s okay to feel what you feel; God isn’t judging you for being human and heartbroken. The Lord understands your disappointment and confusion, and He doesn’t need you to filter your pain.
.
Your God is right here, right now, loving you where you are.
.
In times like these when there are no answers to the “whys” your heart cries, dear friend, may you rest in the tender love of God, who is forever with you.
.
Curl up in His palm and be held in the comfort of His care.
.
Full article live on Proverbs31.org. We’d love for you to join the conversation today, friend. 💗

Dear friend, throughout the broken places of our s

Dear friend, throughout the broken places of our stories, the hurt that left us feeling broken has never limited God’s power in our lives.
.
You see, God’s activity isn’t limited by our understanding.
.
Even when His hand isn’t visible from today’s perspective, our faithful God is working amid the scars of our stories, growing abundant life and purpose.
.
Dear friend, the broken parts of your story don’t make you a broken person. You’re still the whole, cherished, purpose-filled woman God created you to be.
.
The wounds of your story aren’t lost on your God. Take heart—those scars you fear might limit you, become powerful testaments of the God who tenderly meets you in them, growing abundance in their midst.
.
How can I pray for you today, friend?
.
We’d love for you to join the conversation over at Proverbs 31 Ministries today! (Proverbs31.org) 💗

As proof of life…a few pics from my world the last few months. 😊
.
I promise I haven’t fallen off of the edge of the earth! Life has just been full. 🙃
.
I’d love to hear how you’re doing, friend! 💗

January has a pondering, reflective way about her.

January has a pondering, reflective way about her.
.
Like toddlers in a toy store new years come bounding in, bursting with possibility for all that lies ahead.
.
Yet, have you ever stepped over the threshold of a new year & wondered if where you are is where you need to be in this season of life?
.
Me, too.
.
You can read the devotion, “What Are You Doing Here?” at Proverbs31.org . 💗
.
Is there an area of your life where God may be whispering to your spirit, “What are you doing here?” I’d love to hear your thoughts & pray for you, friend. 💗
