Today started off really good. I was up at 4:45am, hit the gym, read 5 chapters of the Word, ate very clean and headed to work early. No temptations. Killin’ it, right? Well, then the day happened. One work crisis after the next, zoom meeting after another, pushy co-worker…. You get the drift. >>>insert short, pathetic lunch break spent crying in my car<<< Work gets out, I head to go help a friend pack- this woman is a very dear friend to me, a mentor, and the closest thing I have to a mother. She’s moving across the country. I’m pretty devastated, but I’m going to show up with a smile on my face. 👌🏻 >>>insert me, in my broken down car on the side of the interstate, crying again💀<<< I’m not entirely sure what God is planning for me rn- kinda feels like a lot of things are falling apart at once, but I know *in my soul* that He’s going to take care of me. Through this addiction, through the future, through the doubt. It’s the one thing that’s giving me comfort right now, and if watching porn damages me relationship with Him- I won’t be doing it today. Press on friends, heavenly powers are cheering us on.✝️

Kathryn, Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry you had a bad day, but we can always rely on the Lord to make it a little better. I do believe that something good will come out of the suffering. You just have to "Suffer Well," and stick with God. Read His word daily and pray. I pray that tomorrow is better, and again, thank you for this.- Logan.

This was a difficult day and I hope you know that is okay to have tough days that are full of tears. Losing a close mentor absolutely comes with grief, pushy co-workers can make us anxious, a broken down car will fill us with worry. God is a great comforter in these moments when everything seems to be coming undone at the seams. It’s peaceful to know that He will still provide and make sure our needs are taken care of. You stood firm in your faith despite the kitchen sink getting hurled your way today, it reminds me of Paul in the Bible. It is truly honorable. The fortitude God has placed within you is awe inspiring. I’m so grateful He is at your side getting you through this. I’m praying for you, Kathryn! Side note: if you need a car and live in the Seattle or Boise area, I got you!

I’ll be praying for you! Just remember in the most difficult moments count your blessings even if they’re very few at least we are alive to experience pain and have a chance to change it

Oh wow, Michael. Thank you for sharing that. It’s amazing how caught up in the present we get when overwhelmed - - only to later on be able to recognize God’s hand in it. And I agree the modern church has a backwards view on suffering, and they often forget to show there’s a way to “suffer well”, with peace almost, because of Him. Thank you for the words of encouragement, friend.

Aw, I’m sorry Kathryn. I feel like I can speak to feeling like everything is falling apart all at once. Last year, one of my closest friends, whom I considered a Spiritual sister, moved across the country with her family; my biological sister ended up in the hospital for about a month and nearly died; and my churches financial situation became untenable and we were forced to merge with a larger church, effectively meaning my church didn’t exist anymore. It was all happening at the same time. There was no end in sight for any of it. And through it, the Lord kind of gave me and my family a new understanding of suffering. I think the church sometimes gets its theology of suffering backwards. We sometimes tend to think being a Christian means the Lord should or will make life easier, but the only thing scripture promises us regarding suffering is that we WILL experience it. It even goes so far as to tell us to count it all joy. But even in the thick of it, sitting beside my sister’s hospital bed holding her hand, hugging my friend goodbye not knowing when I’d see her next, spending the last Sunday in my church home, Holy Spirit was with me. And you know, looking back now, I learned more in that season than in probably any other season of my life about the comfort and peace of the Holy Spirit and how much he loves and cares about us. You’ll get through it, but for now celebrate your victory that you didn’t give in to the devils attempt to use it against you.

One hack you can use there is to join a really large gym and only go at very off peak times. There’s a sweet spot where the place is basically a ghost town in my experience. This is where I lived lol

Hunter98d ago

Mikayla- I love the gym, I lock into my music and don’t talk to anyone lol

kevin98d ago

For everything you’re dealing with right now, it shows true strength to resist as you have! You should be very proud!

Mikayla 💟98d ago

Amen! I wanna start going to the gym but I’m verrrryy shy and introverted and a crowded room scares me😅

Kem98d ago
