My heart is so easily discontented with God’s pacing. Either a season can’t come fast enough, or a season is passing too quickly.
But in every season, God’s love and goodness and mercy and forgiveness will never leave me.

I’m learning: even if I cause the greatest disappointment, God won’t stop loving me. I’m learning mistakes show how much I need Christ, not how much I need to fix. And I’m learning that Christ already fixed it for me.
“God, I wish I had someone who could tell me I was beautiful on days like these.”
“But Annabelle, you already do.”
Whether you’re stuck inside waiting out the storm or off somewhere hot and sunny, learn how to rest well this weekend—starting with the very foundation of rest in Christ.
I was so touched by the picture, I nearly started crying. God reminded me of the “why” behind all the hard work that night. The reason I do any of it in the first place.
