Looking back over September, I’m learning to trust Christ through change, grief, waiting, unanswered questions, receiving help, and healing.
When spiritual growth feels slow or invisible, it is easy to wonder if anything is changing. Philippians 1:6 reminds me that God’s work in me is not finished.
When life changes, I can begin questioning who I am. Psalm 139 reminds me that even when I don’t fully understand myself, God knows me completely and continues to lead me.
I once thought peace would come when everything around me finally became settled. Christ is teaching me something different: I don’t have to wait for every wave to stop before I begin to heal.
After my MRI revealed acute foraminal stenosis, I prayed for healing. While the pain remained, God began strengthening something even deeper—my faith.
This devotional shares how waiting became one of the greatest places of spiritual growth and how God’s presence sustained me through every appointment, every difficult day, and every unanswered prayer.

Have you ever felt like your worth depended on everything you accomplished? Discover the freedom that comes from letting go and resting in your identity in Christ.
Have you ever felt like slowing down meant falling behind? I did too—until God began showing me that faithfulness isn’t measured by exhaustion.
Today’s devotional explores the freedom that comes from trusting His pace instead of our own.

Dear Friend,
I thought I was going to write about patience today. Instead, God handed me a two-year-old, a cold cup of coffee, and a family emergency I couldn’t fix.
My granddaughter is with me because her other Grandma is very ill, and her mom needs to be there.
The morning I planned quickly became a morning of snacks, toys, sippy cups, and quiet worry underneath it all. Galatians 6:9 reminded me that doing what is right often looks ordinary.
Sometimes faith is not fixing the hard thing. Sometimes it is making the room safe, holding the child in front of you, and trusting God with the rest.
Love and Blessings

Hi friend
I thought the seating chart was finished.
The final file had already been sent to Staples, and I was ready to move on to painting the rustic window for my son and future daughter-in-law’s wedding. Then a text from her changed everything. A few guests had been missed. Others still hadn’t confirmed. Suddenly, a project I thought was complete was sitting right back on my dining room table.
This week’s devotional reflects on uncertainty, unfinished plans, and the challenge of waiting when there is nothing left to do but trust God. If you’ve ever struggled with unanswered questions, changing plans, or a season that refuses to resolve itself on your timeline, this reflection is for you.
