Hey friend,
Lately, I have been in a season where I feel stretched in many ways. Emotionally. Physically. Even in my expectations for the year.
Things feel a little heavier than usual, and I am learning how to navigate experiences that are new to me. Walking through this season has given me more empathy for people who have struggled with similar things. Situations I once judged now feel different, and I am beginning to really understand how we misread people when we have not walked in their shoes.
But I am learning that the harder work, and often the better one, is to pause and look inward first. To ask what love looks like here, in this moment, even when your emotions are pulling you in the opposite direction.
Sometimes that love looks like checking in.
Sometimes it looks like prayer.
Sometimes it may actually look like giving space and loving from a distance.
What matters is that we do not react too quickly, but seek clarity before deciding what to do.
This season is teaching me that grace is wisdom.
Question:
How are you responding when things feel heavy?
