GOD IS STILL WORTHY OF PRAISE

I don’t know what it is, but these last few weeks have been extremely overwhelming, difficult, and draining for me. Although I’ve had a lot of good moments, things haven’t been easy. I feel like there is so much going on and so little time to properly address everything. For privacy reasons, I’m not going to get into detail. However, I do want you to know that I as well go through hard, confusing, and discouraging seasons.

If you take a look at my recent blog posts, you can tell by the topics I’ve been writing about what I’ve been experiencing and feeling lately.

For context, here are some of my latest blog posts:

• 22 Bible Verses To Read When You’re So Angry
• 30 Empowering Biblical Affirmations About Trust
• 10 Bible Verses To Read When Feeling Down

Ideally, I would like to create content only when I’m feeling my best, when things are going well, and when life feels absolutely beautiful. However, I’ve come to realize that it is not fair to God, to you, or to me. For one, God is worthy of being praised in every single season (good seasons + bad seasons). I shouldn’t just blog about him when I’m feeling great, happy, and victorious. Secondly, you shouldn’t feel like you’re the only one going through hard seasons. I want you to know that I as well struggle. And that you can have someone to relate to, identify with, and grow with. You’re not alone.

And lastly, I want to be able to share all the good and bad moments with you. I want to blog about personal topics just as much as general topics, requested topics, and popular topics. I think that the best content comes from personal experiences.

So, instead of creating content only when I’m feeling my best, I want to create content during these vulnerable, difficult, and overwhelming moments as well.

Why? Because God is still worthy of praise.

God is equally worthy of praise in victory as He is in affliction.

Oh, every closed door, every single sharp thorn
Every answer that didn’t make sense

Every broken place I’ve been was a godsend?
A godsend
It was a godsend

A weight off my shoulders, no longer something missing
I should have come sooner but I’m here with You now
Watching my walls falling down, yeahI love how You love me at my best or worst
So that’s why I’m running, I’m always running to You first
I got scars but You call ’em “beautiful”
‘Cause I’ve been looking at my skin
But You’ve been looking at my soul
I love how You love me when I can’t love me
So I’m gonna run to You first (run to You first)
