Summary
We had a recent request for the book of Habakkuk, and interestingly enough, my devotional was recently about Habakkuk, and a pastor mentioned the prophet as well. I took it as a sign.
A lot of us struggle with anxiety and trust, and the book of Habakkuk encourages us to rejoice in the Lord, trusting Him even when everything else fails or seems like it's going wrong.
I wanted to mention that I try to prepare a new episode every two weeks, but because of my health struggles with chronic illness, I won't always make that personal goal. I don't like to overshare about my journey or make it about me, but my life is very different now than it was 3 years ago. I live in survival mode. There were times when I was recording that I had to stop because of shortness of breath and presyncope, and I would cry and ask God to let me finish the episode. God is so good and has given me progress and is helping me get answers! I've also had setbacks along the way.
This podcast has given me a ministry and a purpose, and for that I am extremely thankful. I believe that He will heal me in His perfect timing. I share this because I want you all to know that I am doing my best and recording as much as I can. It's more work than I realized when I started, but I love it and I am blessed to do it! Thank you all so much for listening and for letting God use me to help you sleep.
