For many of us,
this year was like a shotgun blast to the chest.
Young lives came to an abrupt end. Relationships we’d fought long and hard for had reached their boiling points. Jobs we’d broken our backs for showed little gratitude for our efforts. While others were posting Instagram photos of their perfect relationships, delicious food, and posh lifestyle, our income trudged miserably towards debt.

Anyone can look good #winning. When everything’s going your way, it’s easy to stand gracefully and beam with exuberance.
But to care for others when your heart’s been crushed, to trust when confidence is betrayed, to remain buoyant in a sea of despair, to smile when days feel mind-numbingly repetitious,
to fail with consequence, to lose with eloquence;
This requires a special kind of Soul—
a Love unbound by circumstance,
a Hope outside this world.

“Washed by the Water”
When your heart feels numb & broken; when unspoken words weigh down your soul; take a step back and remember — You are pressed, but not crushed. Persecuted, not abandoned. Struck down, but not destroyed. That…
Even when the rain falls,
Even when the flood starts rising,
Even when the storm comes,
You are washed by the Water.
“I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.”
— G.K. Chesterton
