As I think about 2025 and all the challenges and joy experienced this year, I thought about what I want to remember from this year...

I want to remember the beautiful moments of joy that was found in the little things. I want to remember the moments of fear that was faced with courage. I want to remember the moments of hope when He was the only hope left. I want to remember the dreams that were held unto even when they seemed out of reach. The courage of continually showing up. The moments of choosing the way He showed me, instead of the way that seemed 'right' or acceptable.

So with 2026 in sight I wish you all a happy new year. May the focus be to build things that are new, and tearing down what's no longer true. To bravely owning your story and being fully in the moment. To unapologetically chasing God's purpose for your life and the dreams He has placed in your heart; to doing the work and resting with ease.

Here's to fun and much needed play, to wonder, adventure and curiosity alive in every day.

And here's to hope - the most couragous act, that defies all the odds and holds nothing back because we know who our hope is in.

Isaiah 40:31
…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

When we experience trauma we start believing lies because of the trauma. Therapists call these lies "stuck points." If we don't effectively process the trauma and reconstruct these lies they become part of our being and control our life. It's not about re-living the trauma or getting stuck in the darkness, it's to stop allowing that darkness to guide and control you. To start believing and living according to truth.

Love these behavioural explanations. When we understand the why behind the lie, we can start making a change🌅

In life when we avoid our pain for too long, at some point it builds and explodes in some way or form. Whether it's through illness; anxiety; depression; it always catches up with you. God used running to help me get more in tune with this truth. It's easy to experience pain; grief; disappointment; trauma when you know there is eventually a solution. A way to work past this suffering that you're enduring. But when there is no answer to your pain, another way of looking at it or moving past it, enduring that suffering becomes extremely challenging.

If you run and ignore the pain, at some point you will hit a wall and not be able to get past it, or get a serious injury. Either way there will be some point that your body can't ignore the pain any longer...But if you embrace the pain; expect the pain; learn to move with the pain and experience joy during these hard moments. You stop avoiding pain, you stop running from it. And in those moments we find true release in God, we find who He made us under all the worldly masks and covers. We find our child selves that can be our truest selves with Him.

What a remarkable lesson He teaches us, to have joy in tribulation. That does not mean avoidance, acting like it's not there. It means sitting in it...finding glimmers of grace in the suffering. These glimmers are what gives life meaning.

Thought of today: Remember WHAT your fighting for...You're not healing to be able to handle the trauma. You're healing to be able to handle the joy.
