Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” — Proverbs 3:5-6

Family, today, I cried.

Not tears of grief. Not tears of exhaustion. Not even tears because the journey has been easy.

I cried because I witnessed a miracle that didn’t happen all at once.

A young woman I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside sent me a message today. As I read her words, I realized something had changed. She was beginning to discover who God created her to be.

She was taking her first steps.

If you’ve ever watched a toddler learn to walk, you know the feeling. No one expects perfection. No one critiques the wobble. Every unsteady step is celebrated because those little steps represent something much greater, freedom, confidence, and growth.

That’s exactly how I felt today.

This young woman didn’t grow up believing her life had value. She learned to survive before she ever learned to live. She found safety in relationships that promised rescue, but rescue and healing are not always the same thing.

Session after session, I prayed.

Session after session, I listened.

Session after session, I asked questions, waited in silence, and trusted God with the places I could not reach.

There were many days when I had no idea how God was going to do it. But I believed He would.

As I sat reflecting this evening, an old gospel song came to my heart: “I Know the Lord Will Make a Way Somehow.”

Not because I knew how. But because He did.

Isn’t that how God so often works?

He doesn’t usually hand us the entire roadmap. Instead, He asks us to trust Him with the next faithful step. While we’re wondering if anything is changing, He is quietly working beneath the surface, healing wounds we cannot see and restoring hearts we cannot touch.

Then one ordinary day, a text message arrives. A conversation feels different. A smile carries hope. A person who once only survived begins to live.

And you realize in that moment that God made a way.  Somehow.

Will You Pray With

Abba, thank You for reminding me that the work has always been Yours. Thank You for allowing me to witness the beauty of transformation, even when I cannot see it unfolding. Strengthen my faith when I don’t understand the process, and help me to trust that You are always working beneath the surface. May I never grow weary in faithfully planting seeds, knowing that You alone bring the harvest. Amen.

Family, if you’re in the in-between tonight, don’t despise your wobbly steps. Heaven doesn’t measure perfection. It celebrates movement. The first step toward healing is still a step. The first honest prayer is still a prayer. The first boundary is still a victory. The first glimpse of the person God created you to be is worth rejoicing over.
