Healing isn’t always a straight line from wounded to whole. Sometimes grief and joy, pain and peace, questions and trust exist at the same time. And through every layer, God stays.

For years, “I know” was more than a response. It was protection. What happens when we become secure enough in Christ to listen, receive correction, and admit there may still be something we don’t know?

Sometimes spiritual growth isn’t revealed by what we learn to do, but by what we no longer feel compelled to do. Maturity may look quieter than we expect.

Sometimes God makes the next step clear without explaining the entire journey. Through a season of surrender, caring for my children, and discovering that I had confused humility with shrinking, I learned that obedience doesn’t always come with immediate understanding. What happens when God asks us to be faithful before everything makes sense?
