Finding Joy in Obedience
Just had to share this sweet moment from today. I was working outside, and Raegan popped in behind me to wave.
She’s such a blessing and an answered prayer! 💖 While I was busy soaking up the sun and working in the fresh air, Raegan was hard at work inside the workshop. She was cutting your orders, packing them up with care, painting sample pieces, and serving you all in ways you don’t always get to see. Her dedication and support mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful for her every single day.
Life and business can be tough for all of us, right?
We all have those moments where we question if we’re on the right path.
Today, while planning our annual Narratives Christmas event, I found myself reflecting on the word “obedience.”
What does obedience mean to you?
For me, it’s not just about following the rules we know; it’s about trusting His path, even when we can’t see it clearly. It’s about taking that leap of faith, even when the destination is hidden. Since I started following His lead, my life has been nothing short of amazing. YES, it’s still hard. YES, it’s still exhausting. YES, it’s still full of challenges. But finding JOY and thankfulness in the middle of all that? That’s the good stuff! 🌟
There have been so many tough days I’ve had to overcome, but each one has brought me closer to understanding His endless grace. I’m thankful for the millionth chance He’s given me to serve Him. I’m humbled by where He has brought me and the incredible people He’s put in my life. 💕
And you know what?
The devil still tries to mess with me. Every day, I wake up thinking, “Hope I don’t screw this up today.” It always feels like the other shoe is about to drop. But it doesn’t. God is carrying us and our shoes. Serve Him, and He will serve you.
His plan is way more beautiful than anything we can imagine.
He believes in us more than any dream we have.
Where do you sit in your life?
Do you have joy and trust in the path you’re on?
The devil has been messing with me and my family intensely and daily for nearly 2 years now. Starting with the loss of my husband’s job.(still haven’t found compatible work in his field) followed by his heart attack this past November.
And during this time, the diagnosis and death in January of my brother.
I struggle to get up and going everyday. And in fact am now having frequent panic attacks.
I have cried out to God multiple times asking to please bring us out of this trial soon.
I know I should show joy even during trials, but I am really struggling to find a balance.
I also know this too shall pass.
But when you are unable to pay bills on time, it feels overwhelming and undoable.
Thank you for sharing such encouraging words. Please keep sharing.
I know my God walks before me and will eventually lead us out of this mess.
I’m praying hard for you my friend!!!
