Our brokenness will draw attention, but our healing is designed to be a witness bearer for Jesus.

“Scars” by I Am They

9 months—Longer out than in. Longer with us than without us...a sobering fact. #mightyty your future is still unknown, but you are still, and always will be wholly loved by us. May you always trust and believe this no matter where you are. ❤️#thisisfostercare May God grant us favor.

A few ways I’m fighting #fear as we continue to wait to hear if #mightyty will stay or go... 1. Im making plans to spend time with people into the next several weeks—my natural bent is to plan nothing with people because if the sad thing happens, I want to be alone, I don’t want to allow others Into my grief. So I’m making plans. 2. I’ve told 2-3 people what it looks like if I’m not doing well ahead of time—my natural bent is too good at faking it, at saying the “right thing” and giving all the “right godly answers” so I again, don’t have to allow people into my grief. My natural bent is also to be selfish and withdrawal and do nothing I don’t feel like doing. So me being silent, not answering people or asking for help means I’m not doing well. Those people know so they can call me out in love to grieve well and keep doing what’s right. 3. Im still leading @illume_scw and planning to teach in March, disciple our leaders and be involved in a way that I can’t get out of without big consequences—this is perhaps my greatest fight against fear right now. It’s my biggest natural fear to say yes to things like this that I can’t get out of, because if Titus leaves, this will be the last thing I will feel like doing, I will feel like running away, like not going anywhere where people will ask “how are you.” But it’s also the biggest middle finger I can give to satan, cause I know God has called me to this, He has asked me to trust him in this, to trust that the Spirit will meet me here in the depths of my need, and this, THIS, is my biggest pull of love from my God. I know He will find me and fill me and pour His strength through me. It might be through a lot of tears but He will show Himself as the pursuing God of goodness and mercy that He is. *How are you fighting fear? How are you fighting to rest in fearing Jesus above all?* . . . #worshipfear #thisisfostercare #fostercare #fosterlove #illumewomen #togetherlight #outofhislove #discipleship
