Perhaps you’re ready to quit…[fill in the blank] and you’re at the end of yourself.

GOOD.

Jesus can now, with your allowance, have His way to transform every part of your heart, and therefore your life.

In this episode, I am sharing some tools that the LORD is stretching me to grow in at my own wall in life.

To the wife and mama who may feel discouraged, shaken, and struggle with honest thoughts of quitting, I want to remind you that God sees you at your wall.

KEEP GOING!

Jesus, knowing in advance you would enter this difficult season and situation, has provided a solution for you to KEEP GOING. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

How brave of you to burn the cape of self-reliance and lean into the solution of Jesus, at your wall, in the mess of life, remembering that you have ALL you need in Christ Jesus.

I pray this episode encourages you to admit the struggle and accept the solution of Jesus.

I want to affirm my husband and honor him as God calls me to. But if I’m honest, offering encouragement isn’t easy amongst the list of unmet expectations, a busy life, and a heart posture of, “No one does this for me, and I’m ok.”

I’ve prayed the prayer that seems right: “Lord, change my husband, for Your kingdom come and will be done.” I’ve read the devotionals and done the other Godly things to check the boxes to coexist better. However, my heart remains frustrated at the unchanged things.

And yet… maybe God is asking me to start with my own heart. Perhaps I’m going about this wrong.

Surrender is where it begins. The outcome of my husband’s growth isn’t in my hands—and it won’t be from critiques or corrections.

As wives, we’ve been given the role of a “helper corresponding to him” (Genesis 2:18). Our greatest strategy shouldn’t be striving harder to change him, but instead, in our imitation of Jesus, to die to ourselves and follow His high standard and example.

When we release expectations that all too easily pivot into demands, we create space for God’s power to shape us from the core of our spirit. Romans 12:1 calls this our act of worship: offering ourselves as living sacrifices.

God has equipped us to be strong, suitable, and surrendered helpers, upheld by His grace. By staying anchored in Jesus, we can hope that a deep heart shift will occur—first in us, and then in our marriages.

Perhaps you grew up believing the lie that ‘feelings are unsafe.’

Do you know how to feel what you’re feeling? If you are already comfortable in this, does it lead you to safe exposure with Jesus or pull you towards quick-fix, fast answers in substitutional comforts that are away from Him?

As a mom of a rising senior, I hit the wall of emotion. I’m ready to stop pretending that everything is “fine,” in my heart.

One season to the next, we balance our emotions and steady ourselves with something that stabilizes the pain.

Our hearts are homesick for Heaven, and we can best stabilize ourselves in life’s shaking when we rest in grace.

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace.” -2 Thessalonians 2:16

Grace holds us together in all life seasons.

I’ve never experienced an earthquake, but I can imagine that you need to hold onto something for stability in the shaking. As disciples, in assignments and life seasons, as wives and mothers, we need an unshakeable anchor.

The hope of the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our comfort and ability to confess that we are unshaken when we are shaken.

I hope that this episode encourages you. Dive into the richness of this scripture and cling to Him.
