A little over a year ago, peace like this didn’t feel possible for us. But God carried us out, brought us back to family, and gave my children memories filled with joy instead of survival. 🤍

I don’t take any of it for granted. What are you trusting God to rebuild in this season?

... Read moreReflecting on my personal journey, I've learned that trusting God during times of uncertainty not only restores peace but also reshapes the future. When life feels overwhelming, embracing faith can be the anchor that brings us through challenging seasons. Just like the story of being carried out of hardship and back into family warmth, many find that God’s restoration goes beyond circumstances—it renews the heart. In walking through this process, what helped me most was focusing on daily gratitude and celebrating small moments of joy with loved ones. It’s incredible how these little victories accumulate, transforming a sense of mere survival into thriving happiness. The faith journey involves both surrender and courage, and sharing these experiences builds stronger connections with others who are also seeking healing. I encourage anyone reading this to consider what areas of life feel broken or lost and to trust in God’s ability to restore them. Whether it's relationships, personal peace, or deeper family bonds, allowing space for faith can open pathways to renewal. This journey isn’t always linear, but holding onto the hope expressed by ‘But God’ can be life-changing. Engaging with communities that share similar faith values, like hashtags #ButGod, #FaithJourney, and #FamilyHealing, can provide support and inspiration. These circles remind us that we are not alone in our struggles and that restoration is possible. Ultimately, embracing God’s presence during tough seasons brings a peace that surpasses understanding and cultivates lasting joy.

Make 2025 your LOW BUY year to save money 💸💕
A low buy year is an alternative to a no buy year. You’ll still focus on needs and not on wants, but it’s OK to spend some money on those nonessential items and activities. The goal is to just be more intentional with your spending so you don’t overspend . If you do it for a whole year, then
