Trusting God When Injustice Hurts

There are moments in life when trusting God feels harder than believing in Him.

Recently, my husband experienced something that shook our sense of fairness, security, and peace. Because of one mistake — a mistake he openly acknowledged and took responsibility for — his job was threatened. Despite decades of integrity, honesty, godly character, and faithful service, the consequence did not fit the offense. He was removed from a position he loved and reassigned to a different division.

And I struggled.

I struggled deeply with the injustice of it all — how one decision overshadowed years of faithfulness, how honesty did not protect him, and how the outcome felt so unequal. I wrestled with anger, helplessness, and pain. I wanted answers. I wanted accountability. I wanted fairness. I wanted justice!

But mostly, I wanted peace.

As a new year begins, many women feel a mix of hope and heaviness. We hear the words fresh start everywhere — yet our circumstances may look exactly the same. The challenges didn’t magically disappear at midnight. The pain didn’t resolve itself with a calendar change. And if we’re honest, some of us are stepping into this new year already tired.

The Quiet Joy of Christmas: Peace for the Busy, worn out and weary soul.

Christmas is supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many women, it brings a quiet ache.
Empty chairs… broken relationships… financial strain… memories that trigger grief instead of joy… the loneliness that feels sharper when everyone else seems surrounded by love and celebration.

If this is you, sweet friend — I want you to hear this clearly:
You are not the only one who hurts during the holidays, and you are not alone.

If you’re caring for a loved one who can’t care for themselves, I want to pause and say — I see you. The long days, the sleepless nights, the quiet tears that no one else notices. The emotional weight of showing up day after day in a role that often feels invisible. You give so much of yourself, and yet you may wonder… does anyone see me?

Sweet friend, I want you to know — God sees you.

If you’re walking through a hard season right now — one that feels heavy, lonely, or uncertain — take a deep breath, sweet friend. You’re not stuck here forever. God is still writing your story, and this chapter is only part of your journey, not the whole book. There is hope ahead, and even here, there is beauty to be found.

Sis, You’re Not Too Much — You’ve Just Been Too Muzzled

Have you ever been told you’re too emotional?
Too sensitive?
Too intense?
Too loud, too needy, too opinionated, too strong… or maybe just too much?

...and why you’re not crazy for feeling like something’s off.

Let’s get real — emotional manipulation doesn’t usually show up waving a red flag. It slides into the conversation masked as concern, confusion, or correction. It’s subtle, slippery, and often sounds just reasonable enough to make you second-guess yourself.

Say it with me, “You Can’t Fix Crazy!” So why do we keep trying?

There was a time I didn’t know what freedom felt like. I had a smile on my face, kids on my hip, and chaos behind closed doors.
