The tagline for the women’s ministry I cofounded a couple of years ago is, “Oh for grace to trust him more.” The day we were asking God what he wanted us to do, that song would not leave me. We sing it every year and every single time, I know it’s part of the mission of our event to encourage women to trust Jesus more.

This is beautiful, and I relate to having had a little one who fought the anxiety giant at such a young age.

"If there’s anything midlife teaches us, it’s that we’ve come far enough to know that there is an upside to every downside. It’s just hard to see the other side when you’re in the middle of the eye of the storm."

That part. Because downsides will continue our whole lives in this broken world, but our Jesus is all we need! And we can see His faithfulness in the midst of the storms. Thank you for this encouragement today!

Thank you, Nicole! Some days we're the encouragers, and other days we're the ones reaching for encouragement. We need each other!
