✍🏾Sis… Hold On to Faith

 

Sis…

Today makes a week.

A week since I lost my dad…

and even saying that still feels hard.

I used to just call him Bobby.

So sometimes I don’t even know what to say…

stepdad, dad… all I know is he was mine.

And this week has been heavy.

Not just for me…

but in a lot of ways, for the women around me too.

This week, I’ve been having conversations…

and I’ve been hearing the same thing in different ways.

Life has been feeling heavy.

Challenging.

Overwhelming.

And it made me realize something…

So many of us are walking around looking strong…

but we are carrying so much inside.

We don’t always say it.

We don’t always show it.

But it’s there.

And if I’m being honest…

this week, I’ve been trying to stay strong too.

Showing up…

pushing through…

holding it together the best way I know how.

But today, I just want to say this… to you and to me:

We don’t have to carry it all alone.

God is carrying us.

Even in grief.

Even in stress.

Even when life feels like it’s just too much at once.

Even when we don’t understand it.

Even when we’re tired.

So if today feels heavy for you…

if you’ve been trying to hold it together…

Sis… just hold on to faith.

That’s it.

Not perfection.

Not having all the answers.

Just faith.

Because even when it feels like you’re carrying everything…

You’re carried too. 🤎

This is your reminder… you’re not alone in this 🤎
