I’m in a season where I’m crushed, but in the crushing I have a hope for rebuilding. It’s been really hard to go through! I wasn’t able to write much for awhile, but yesterday I was blessed by the Lord’s beautiful, honest words that came in poetic form.

It’s not easy to go through any type of pain. Unfortunately, often it seems to lead to shame.
But that’s not how God looks at pain. He doesn’t see someone who’s going insane. You might hear lies every day. But you can live free and alive today. Learning how to walk is a journey we can take. We can be real with God and others, not fake. Knowing boundaries and how to take care of ourselves. Is important for others and for our own health. It’s ok to cry, it’s ok to be upset. It’s ok to ask questions, remember Jesus wept. Pain and grief can seem debilitating, but God sent his Son because he said you’re worth saving! It’s hard to grieve, but it’s important that we see, our emotions are important to God indeed. If we don’t process them, we don’t know our needs. We all have a story and hope to give, life is so much more fun when we can fully live!

What does living alive mean to you!
