We’re starting a new corner here on the blog called “He Said/She Said.” As Stephen and I laid in bed last night talking, we discussed how we each need a place on the blog to just simply… write… and share… from the heart. I was telling him, I feel like with our new blog and each Monday, Wednesday & Friday having specific things to blog about, it became too “structured”… (or, I don’t know, maybe you like the structure? Leave your thoughts below on what you have liked and haven’t liked about our new blog, we’d love to hear your feedback!) But I just feel like there wasn’t a lot of room for being spontaneous and just jotting down thoughts like I used to do with my old blog. I’ve been missing having our blog as an outlet to grow and share and explore my thoughts, whether vulnerable or too much information, or simple or in depth. Just as we’re adjusting to sharing our lives as a married couple, we’re still adjusting to finding our balance in our business and our branding, and with that comes trying new things. With that said, we’ve started this corner. So… here goes….
I’ve been really meditating on the verse above the past few days.
I admit, I’ve been having a few pity parties about something in our life that is out of our control. I know, I know, but I have so much to be thankful for as my momma reminds me each morning via text message. But I’m in a phase were it just seems like one thing after another isn’t going my way and it’s one of those phases where having faith is simply… hard.
I know my God is a big God and that He’s capable of doing big things. I also know He is bigger than the circumstance I’m facing. But as I sit here waiting, I’m trying to figure out the lesson in circumstance. I know He always has a lesson and a purpose beyond my understanding. I know He sees the big picture. I am simply the creation, not the Creator, yet I often get that confused and struggle with letting go of wanting to the control the circumstance. I know He hears our prayers but I also know He protects us from prayers that seem from our perspective weren’t answered.
I know all these things. God knows I’ve been through a lot of trials the past few years to know that He never lets go of me and He always provides, yet why do I still doubt? I want to have the kind of faith even in the midst of when things look bad and impossible, I can still rise and say “Hallelujah” like Heather Williams sings in this video below.
I found this song very inspiring for the moment I’m in, and I hope, whatever your own struggle is, it can help inspire you too.
