Ever felt like you were wrestling God? Have you ever gone to God with question after question in an attempt to understand the season you were in?

Today, let’s explore the book of Habakkuk together to understand how this man learned to both wrestle and embrace God. He knows what waiting on God feels like, and he wasn’t ashamed to enter into conversation with God about the struggles he was facing.

Carrying confetti can sometimes feel like a ‘wrestle and embrace’ too. It doesn’t erase the struggle, but it does remind us about the truth of God’s character as we grow in intimacy with him.

Holding onto the hope of a promise in an undefined waiting period is what can actually lead us to a stronger faith – a faith that isn’t phased by the storms that swirl around us or the unanswered questions that swirl within us.

So, my prayer is that by the end of this episode, you will be able to say, “Yet I will rejoice!”

Welcome to a spontaneous bonus episode I felt to record after putting the kids to bed ☺️

Apologies for not being able to deliver my usual Monday episode! Thank you for your grace as I took a week break due to sickness and other circumstances... but I missed y'all... and I needed a pep talk, so I thought many of you might need it too.

Let's be encouraged together to let faith rise within us, despite what we're going through.

God bless you my friend!

We've made it to the final episode in our series on the aesthetics of joy, and I'm excited to bring you one that speaks to the notion of transcendence. Why do we long for a feeling of lightness and elevation? And where should we look to find it?

Also, why is upwardness a metaphor for positivity? What effect does an upward motion have on our minds?

Just like the enemy can try and distort our joy of wonder and joy of abundance, he's also relentlessly tried to distort the joy of transcendence.

So, let's talk about the biblical battle of 'high places' and why we should fix our eyes on heaven.

Thanks for coming on this journey to discover joy in our everyday reality. It's been fun!

Love,

Darcie
