🤔 Do you ever walk towards something with 😃 excitement and 😆 eager anticipation, only to trip and fall down the flight of stairs as you’re approaching the bottom, and have the opportunity vanish into thin air?
.
No? Just me? 😬 (thankfully at least, it’s only metaphorically and I didn’t scrape my knees or stain my white skirt after this picture was taken!)
.
This last week has felt like a lot of “yeah, NOPE!! That’s not for you! (Insert slammed door 🚪 here)” and while I’m trying to see the hidden blessings, admittedly those blessings feel like they’re tiny freaking ninjas… in camo… in a pitch black cave (i.e. verrrry hard to see)! 👀🔎⁉️
.
This week has been a lot of 🙏 “please be praying for me” requests and 🤕 “I need to borrow your faith because mine feels like it’s suffocating” messages to friends.
.
It’s been a bit of an emotional roller coaster, and there’s been some hurt and disappointment 😟
.
And hey – I understand that stuff happens and things don’t always go our way 🚫 But understanding that doesn’t mean we never experience pain. It simply better equips us to handle it when it does.
.
😔 When you’re facing disappointment or you’re feeling hurt, who do you turn to? Do you have people you can reach out to with an 🥺 “I’m not doing well and I could really use some support” ask?
.
We always have 💞 God, AND He gave us friendships for a reason. We’re not meant to do life alone, friends 🤍
Faith and friendships
