I feel like Lots wife

Lot's wife looked back because her heart was still tied to what she was leaving behind—even as God was pulling her forward. I don't think that makes her a monster; I think it makes her human. And I think you naming that shows how raw and honest you're being with yourself right now.

But here's the thing—you're still standing. You're still breathing, still grateful for your kids, still praying for your husband. That's not the posture of someone who's frozen. That's someone who's fighting to keep her eyes ahead even when every instinct says to turn around and mourn what's gone.

“Remember Lot’s wife.” — Luke 17:32.

6/12 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on the story of Lot’s wife offers profound insight into how difficult it can be to move forward when our hearts are anchored to the past. Like her, many of us experience moments when we feel pulled backward by memories, regrets, or attachments—even as we know we must press on. From my experience, acknowledging this feeling rather than condemning it as a weakness is vital for healing and growth. What’s most inspiring is that despite the pull to look back, you are still standing strong, actively loving your family, and praying for those dear to you. This resilience embodies faith in action, showing that faith is not about perfection but persistence. In my own life, I found that creating a daily ritual of gratitude and prayer helped me focus my energy on the present and future, rather than dwelling on what I was leaving behind. The biblical reminder in Luke 17:32, “Remember Lot’s wife,” is a powerful call to remain forward-focused. However, it’s important to balance this with self-compassion. Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting or dismissing the past. It means honoring those experiences and emotions without allowing them to immobilize us. Sharing your journey openly, as you have, creates a supportive community where others can relate and find comfort. Remember, the courage to face forward, even when it’s painful, is a testament to human strength and divine guidance working together. Keep fighting that good fight, embracing both the struggle and the hope that light the way ahead.
