@Kristen Held same. I added his book to my long list of books I need to read. Some days I feel like I may never get all these books read there are so many good recommendations out there. 😅

Charlie Kirk
Seeing a video of Charlie Kirk assassinated really troubled me. I didn't ask to see it... it popped up on my feed and I saw the blood coming out of his throat. He was a father to two beautiful babies. How are ya'll handling it in America? I've prayed and cried... Charlie was turning 32 next month, same age as me. I'm devastated... For his wife, the family...

I accidentally saw the video as well, so horrifying. For a while it seemed to be running on a loop in the back of my mind. I have been praying for his family and friends and our nation throughout that time. It took me a while to realize I could ask Jesus to remove that visual. So thankful for that! Many churches had a lot of visitors and they were seeing people getting saved and they were baptizing them also. One Pastor here in Michigan said they had around 10 transgender individuals attend their service and by the end almost all of them were in tears and gave their lives to Jesus. The hardest part about all of this is seeing those who have been cheering for his death. Our world is so broken and it is heartbreaking to see all the division. It has been encouraging to see the young people who have been fired up by this and have started turning to Jesus for answers. We are praying for revival to break out and that it starts with our young people and spreads like wildfire.

Balance in life
I'm really trying my best to stay calm... But I seriously am juggling so much right now. Marriage. Mom to a toddler. Teacher Part-Time. Household chores. Time with Jesus. Church. It sometimes feels impossible.

Your post reminded me of a discussion we had at church the other night. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” We discussed how in English we tend to think sufficient means, “this is what I’d prefer but that is sufficient” and in the Greek language the word sufficient means “everything I need to accomplish the task.” For me the hard part is understanding that He has given me everything I need to accomplish the tasks He has given me. I am always striving to do the work and I don’t have to do that. Praying for you, Hallie. Praying for peace in your heart and mind and that you know you have everything you need to accomplish the tasks God has given you. Also praying you find rest in the Father and are able to work from that place of rest rather than striving to do your tasks in your own power. You’ve got this! ❤️

@David Held yes, partnering with Holy Spirit who will show us solutions! So good. It’s so crazy that we need that reminder, you would think we would remember something so vital but I am constantly striving in my own weakness to accomplish something that would most likely be a simple solution, haha. 😅

Humanity’s first language
We understand and communicate emotionally long before any of us learn a language. Before our kids’ minds understand what we are saying, before their mouths can speak in response, they feel us.

@Julie Baird God has created us with such complexity and yet He can step in and bringing healing in an instant. Praying for that for your children and ours!

A vicious cycle
When convenience is king in family (whether it’s emotions, food, discipline of children, etc) health is an afterthought. True health isn’t convenient. It’s not comfortable. There may never be a convenient or comfortable time to start working on it. “I’ll start working on this once we are out of this season” is the mantra of one ruled by convenience. Every season has its excuses. It’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too windy, it’s too rainy, it’s too humid. All these are similar to: we are moving soon, we just moved, we are in sports, I don’t have the time right now, our finances need to change then we can. Embracing inconvenience and discomfort is what breaks the cycle and makes health the priority it deserves to be. After all, health makes every season not only more bearable, but gives us the ability to thrive through every one of them. And in reality, the families I’ve seen get the most breakthrough were the ones who started the work at the most inconvenient times.
