I loved this thoughtful reflection and thought #8 was especially poignant!

#8 only surfaced because of the helpful guidance of my spiritual director and the power of the Holy Spirit!! And I'm so grateful it did. It's been a powerful point to remember this year. Thank you for reading, Sarah!

Loved reading this! Praise God, for all He has done and will do! Prayers for your sister in law… that is a hard journey 🙏🏻. And amen to the both/and 💛

There is so much wisdom here, Grace! Thank you for sharing it. I feel this deeply >> "sometimes I wonder if I can stand the pain that comes with being a present adult in a broken world." AND love how you've drawn out the both/and paradox of being a human in a broken but still beautiful world. Thank you for your words! I look forward to reading more of your writing in 2025.

I still have to read the rest of the post, but the force of that Isaiah 43 quote hit me, that in effect God says, "this thing that I am doing is so unforeseeable and, to your eyes, ridiculous that you will naysay it until I bring it to fulfillment."
