Do you ever find yourself struggling to accept God's will? Do you ever think God chose the wrong person for the role he's put you in? Have you experienced anger at the season he is allowing you to experience? You are not alone, my friend. I've also experienced the unsettling questions above. I'm praying that you will find hope as you hear more of Jessica's powerful story of surrender today on UnPerfect...
If you missed part 1 of this series, head back here to listen to Episode #94. Jess unpacks her story of searching for peace in a season of loss, and provides hope for all of us through her journey of caregiving and surviving the unexpected.
In this episode, which focuses on the struggle to accept God's will, as well as offering support to the caregivers we know and love, we discuss:
- Accepting our God-given roles - none of us feels equipped for some of the assignments God has given us. How do we accept and embrace them?
- The burden of caregiving - discovering what you have to offer
- Anger, surrender, and trust - recognizing our emotions and moving from anger to peace through surrender and trust
- Self-care and asking for help - why it's important and how to ask for it
- Creating a Supportive Community - how friends, family, and communities can better support caregivers
- Moving forward in faith - the importance of taking the next step in life, even when facing the overwhelming grief of loss
