Having been comforted while sitting on the floor of my laundry room surrounded by mount washmore by two preschoolers wearing my tee shirts because they had no clean clothes, I understand your pain!!

[cynthiaakacyndsmith]

YES and AMEN, you are so right and you go with your sanctified self! Great word for many of us! Thank you.

Well stated using great analogies. Yes, Christians have low moments, and that is when the world is watching as to how the low moments are handled.

This is one of the reasons that social media has had to take a real back seat in my life recently. Our minds were not designed to take in so much curated content about others. In order to focus on God and not get distracted by what others perceive as 'too much'/'dramatic', I need to focus on real connections with people I know in real life.
Thanks again for sharing, Mary Beth, so encouraging ❤️❤️

We are humans after all. We have all the emotions and we come to communities like this for empathy and support. This is a safe place to be ok, how ever you're feeling. Thank you Marybeth for keeping it real!

Many of us have experienced such dark nights of the soul that we are driven to our knees incessantly in desperation. All you have to do is read proverbs to see we are in good company.

I love the comment about the struggle bus. My mom died almost 3 weeks ago after a 2 week hospital stay. She was not only mom but best friend, housemate and my caregiver. Im trying to figure out a complete new reality and each day has yet another challenge. Leaning heavily on my faith and friends and family. The drama is real😔

[teriosmond]

Great video. I'm sorry that someone said something so cruel. Your ministry is amazing!

[marthakreimer]

Lovely and so true. So easy to lose focus on our values

[AdventuresofEmilyandLily]

thanks MaryBeth! totally agree with this awesome message.

I find that knowing that others have gone through certain things makes me feel less alone.

I loved this video! It resonated with me on so many levels. 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer… so the past 3 years have been particularly difficult. So many people have told me that they have been encouraged by the fact that I have been real about the struggles, yet have pointed to the hope that we have in Jesus in the midst of the struggle. Yet, I have been told by others that by honestly sharing about my struggles, that somehow I have not been standing in faith. I think when we go through things, we minister more to those around us by them watching the Lord work in the hard times instead of pretending that everything is fine! For some people who are unwell and struggle with energy, a basket of laundry or clutter that has been building up, can be a real challenge, so I’m thankful for your encouraging content! Keep on keeping on! Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

Amen. We need to share with each other. Sometimes, it gets dark. One of my darkest nights was in the hospital last spring, not knowing if my husband will live or be disabled due to a sudden brain bleed. Thankfully, we are on the other side and he is healing. But the dark was real. I'm a believer and know that in in the dark, God was there.

I have to be careful who I share with. Some people will jump on me like Job's friends. Homemaking is a huge challenge that some people don't understand. I'm glad you're back. ❤

I wonder if it was my mom that commented that. She claims to be a Christian but is very much only wanting to show a perfect life to the world. She's very much about not talking about your feelings or struggles. Make up on, dressed nice before you leave the house is a must.
It took me going through an abusive marriage and a dear friend helping me realize the truth. My relationship with God is so much better now.
My relationship with my new(8years together, 7 married] is soo much better because of it too.
Was hard to leave my ex husband but he isn't a Christian and never will be.

[Wendy-ebtl]

I have been checking almost daily to see if you posted a new video. I’m happy to see you again.

2 Cor. 1:4 …so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ❤️amen! Sadly, I think many suffer alone bc they don’t want to be a “burden” to others. We are called as believers to bear one another’s burdens…Gal. 6:2

[laurawade]

Thank you for speaking truth in love ❤

[christieparamore]

you did a great job explaining this ❤️ Don’t give up we need you real life encouragement ❤️
