“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that you didn’t know how to keep going? I know I have. Life can be so heavy, and as women, we often carry the weight of our families, careers, and personal battles in silence. But it’s in our weakest moments that God’s grace shines the brightest. I remember a time when my daughter was unwell, and we couldn’t find answers. She cried endlessly, and I felt exhausted, lost, and helpless. I couldn’t fix her pain or take it away, and I found myself crying out to God, "I can’t do this anymore. Please take over." It was in that helplessness that I saw God’s grace at work in ways I couldn’t have imagined. When I had no strength left, He gave me just enough to keep going. In our weakness, His power is most evident.  It’s in moments like these—when we feel powerless—that God’s grace becomes most evident. Hannah’s Lesson: Crying Out in Weakness Hannah, a woma...

  “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways.” – Psalm 37:7 I’ve been in seasons where waiting felt like an unbearable burden. Whether it was waiting for an answer to my prayers, clarity for my next step, or breakthrough in my circumstances, I often found myself asking, God, when will it be my turn? As women, we face different kinds of waiting. Maybe you’re waiting for your business to grow, praying for a spouse, longing for a breakthrough in your family, or even struggling with unanswered prayers about your children. Whatever the situation, waiting can feel frustrating and endless. Lessons from Sarah: A Woman Who Waited Whenever I feel like God is silent, I think of Sarah. She spent years waiting for the promise of a child. In Genesis 15, God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars, yet Sarah remained childless for decades. Like many of us, she struggled with doubt. Her story is relatable: she tried to take mat...

  Losing a loved one, especially a parent, can feel like the world is caving in. For me, losing my father in 2014 was a moment that shattered my belief in hope. I prayed fervently, hoping for a miracle, but my father still passed away. I remember feeling so confused, asking God, "Why?" I was hurt, questioning how a loving Father could allow such pain. But looking back, I see that my struggle wasn’t about God’s absence—it was about my own misplaced hope. I had placed my trust in the miracle I wanted to happen, not in the faithfulness of God Himself. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." My hope was misplaced, but through this pain, God showed me that true hope isn’t found in the outcome we desire, but in trusting that He knows what’s best for us. There were years I lived with a lingering sense of doubt, still praying but not fully believing in His goodness. I kept wondering why my prayers weren’...

Psalm 34:18 — "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Philippians 4:6-7 — "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." After the birth of my first child, I faced something I never expected: postpartum depression. It was my first child, and I had no idea what to expect. The physical exhaustion, the emotional rollercoaster, and the overwhelming responsibility left me feeling lost. Coming from a place where mental health struggles are rarely discussed, postpartum depression wasn’t something I could openly talk about. It’s considered taboo, something we sweep under the rug because it’s “ugly.” But I lived it. I felt isolated, even when surrounded by people. I felt misunderstood, like no one truly grasped what I was going through....
