Finding Strength in Faith and Rest
October 4, 2025

I can’t believe it’s already the 4th of October. These last several days have all blurred together as I’ve been down from this flare. Thankfully, I’m slowly starting to feel a little better, day by day. Right now, it’s all about rest, heating pads, and patience until I see my doctor this coming week.

The message I really want to share today is this: if you’re struggling no matter what the struggle looks like never underestimate the power of prayer. But also remember that prayer and action go hand in hand. You have to take that step toward change, healing, or growth. No one can help someone who isn’t ready to help themselves. All we can truly do is pray, love from a distance if we have to, and trust that God will move in His time.

Yesterday was busy, so today I’m grateful for a slower, peaceful day. I plan to rest, decorate a bit more for fall, and nourish my body with what it needs to continue healing. I’m so thankful for my family my daughter has been amazing, and my sons have been wonderful too. My oldest has been streaming games for me to watch, and honestly, that’s such a comfort. He knows how much it helps when I don’t feel well.

I’ve spent many hours in prayer and in the Bible lately, and I’ll be doing more of that today it’s part of my daily rhythm now. I’m learning every day what it means to be a true daughter of God, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Growth isn’t always loud, but it’s powerful.

I’m also so thankful for my church and my faith community they’ve brought so much light into my life. I’ve been spending more time on my faith-based social accounts, connecting with people who are like-minded and focused on what truly matters. It’s refreshing and good for the soul.

One thing I’m beyond excited about is that I’m signing up to be baptized it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time, and I’m praying I feel well enough to be at church tomorrow.

To anyone reading this: remember, you can do the hard stuff. You are loved no matter what you’re going through. You are amazing, and God sees every bit of your effort.

Wishing you all a peaceful, blessed Saturday. 💛
