Emerging After a Dark Period

I mentioned earlier this year I was doing through some struggles and they continued well into this past month. I’ll share more in future posts but wow… it has been a very challenging season emotionality, physically, mentally and spiritually. After a lot of analysis and deep conversations I realized things were falling apart so they could come together.

As more and more of my life felt like it needed a refresh I sought guidance from God during the process. I asked questions like, What are you trying to show me? Am I heading in the right direction? What needs to fall off? What doesn’t serve my purpose on earth? What should I sift out? What should I add?

I believe we grow closer to God in the valleys of life. After much prayer and discussion, Marshall and I decided to take a trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We spent the week reconnecting, exploring and having hard conversations. We also spent time dreaming and planning our futures together. I felt so much more inspiration and freedom in my spirit. I also felt a deepening of our love for one another.

God came through in a big way. Life will always have challenges and dark periods. It’s a through the darkness we can experience cracks of light. For all of you struggling right now, hold on. Keep going. Your story isn’t finished.
