My own personal stroke story from years ago; to my Dad experiencing a more severe stroke in January 2024- Thankfulness, faith, and healing tools through it all.
Coming Soon!
When I felt the first few nudges of “you need to pull her out and homeschool Dana. It’s time “
I screamed back.. “ hahahaha no thank yooooou!!!!” And kept on moving. Head down. Ignoring the prompts.
A few weeks later.. it was still being laid upon my heart. The same nudges, only more so. I thought “really God?! Why now? I have a business to run. A house to keep up. A family to run after and feed. How will I fit homeschooling Into the already jam packed fullness of life?”
I already knew the answer. But sometimes it just feels good to whine back a little doesn’t it? 🤷🏻♀️
The final nudge wasn’t so much as a nudge as much as a good shove forward lol
The answer to all those questions? The one I already knew… because we have walked through nudges before. The call to obedience.
God says “I love you. I know what’s best for you. I know what’s best for Emma. Trust me”
Faith. Trust. Laying down our own selfish ambitions and truly handing over the day to day. The dreams and goals for business. The days that feel like there are no hours left in them. Trusting God with it all.
Guess what? He provides. He always does. Sometimes it looks a little messy at first. Sometimes the blessings come right away, and sometimes they take a little longer to see. But they are always there. Because God is faithful. ❤️
We finished our first month of school at home and can say that we had more sweet and good moments than we did frustrating ones. Hallelujah. 🙏🏻 We are enjoying school together ❤️
I felt like I lost my business hours to work and just fit it in an hour or two a day; and barely that some days… and where I felt like that would make it suffer? The Lord blessed my business with the highest sales we have had in several months.
I haven’t quite figured out how to fit in the exercise routine regularly or how to be completely on top of taking care of our home but that’s ok.
Obedience is always worth it. Trusting in Gods plan and just taking the step of faith in trust is worth it. His plans will ALWAYS be better than mine. I know and believe that with my whole heart.
Sometimes it takes the gentle shove to get there 😆
