Encouragement for Everyday Life

You’re Made for Rest

August 5, 2014January 27, 2015 Holley Gerth 7 Comments Encouragement for Everyday Life, Guest Posts

Guest Post, Holley Gerth   I skid my toes along the edge of the water. It’s brilliant blue, the color of the deepest sky. I let out my breath slowly and close my eyes. I listen to the waves. In. Out. In. Out. I match their rhythm and slow down inside. I think of words spoken […]

UnBusy Me
Not all growth is harvested. Some of it is root-deep. Not wasted. Just rooted.I spent the last three years giving myself to a transition that never came. It would be easy to call that time wasted. Easy to mourn the return on energy that never came. But I resist that story—not out of denial, but out of respect.Respect for the version of me who tried. Who believed those were the steps I was supposed to take. Who acted not from certainty but rather with the unknown pressing in so hard at times I couldn't breathe.Most of this wrestling happened in quiet, behind closed doors, unseen even by those nearest to me.Even now, as I change focus, as I step into a new unknown, I still don’t feel so sure.Because sometimes the hardest thing isn’t watching something end. Sometimes it’s turning inward—toward healing, toward wholeness, toward the quiet dreams God tucked deep inside.It’s choosing the long, sacred work of becoming… even when grief whispers that it’d be easier to just let go.But healing asks for our participation.And hope often begins with the courage to return to ourselves, hand-in-hand with Him. So, today, I will move forward in faith—more obedient than courageous. More surrendered than confident.And I will honor these steps, too.Because I’m not failing.I’m forming.And my heart will catch up.#growth#unbusyme ... See MoreSee Less

I’m continually inspired by those who, despite feeling overwhelmed, choose to forge a path forward with clear eyes and determined heart. Let’s celebrate those genuine efforts, the small victories that collectively reshape our lives. Your actions—grounded, real, and brave—are the tools that allow you to create lasting change, even when the road feels rough.#unbusyme #YourJourneyMatters ... See MoreSee Less

I will say she landed on the opposite scale of dress style she had planned on. But it spoke to her and she looks beautiful. Pictures to come (after the prom 🤪).

If you've hit a wall, stop. 

That's right, go ahead and stop right there. Find out what it takes for you to breathe in a healthy manner. And then, you begin again. 

Maybe you take the same route but with more gear for the trip. Maybe you take a detour completely. But the most important thing is that you choose to begin again.

This Bible is fast becoming another favorite because there’s no better way for the young women in your life to experience God’s heart for them than through his Word.
