Still Standing

Welcome to

Still Standing: How to Find Peace…Without the Happy Ending.

I’m thankful you are here.

I welcome you into my home and as a fellow traveler on my journey.

If you were here at my house right now, I would invite you to sit down for a cup of tea with me.

I’d offer to share a piece of my secret chocolate stash (in the back of the freezer behind the frozen mixed vegetables – totally safe there) that I keep hidden away for moments with good friends.

I would warn you to watch your step because there are Legos strewn about the floor in random places.

We would get settled down at the table, and then I would start the conversation.

I want to tell you a story.

Before I begin, I need to warn you that this story doesn’t have a picture-perfect happy ending. This isn’t a sappy Hollywood tale that wraps up in one hour and 58 minutes.

But it’s beautiful.

Since you’re busy and so am I, I will start right in the middle and cut to the heart of the matter.

Still Standing

Two years ago, I thought my family and my entire world was going to implode -- explode from the inside out.

I felt like I was dying, or wanted to.

We have 2 children we adopted from foster care, and these amazing little boys struggle. That summer, they struggled mightily.

May I share with you how God led me through that summer? God changed me in those 3 months in ways I could not have imagined.

I didn’t think I would make it, yet here I am, still standing.

Whatever you are going through in your life, God is there for you in the midst of your struggles, too.

During this series, use these printable pages to write down the daily Bible verse, ways you are thankful (there is always much to be grateful for), and respond to the daily journal prompt.

We created the pages so that if you want to be more crafty-creative, you can, and if you want to keep it simple, that works, too.

Go to www.theholymess.com/stand for a list of the daily Bible verses, journal prompts, and more resources that match this series.

You are always welcome to email me with comments and questions: [email protected].

Many blessings,
