Carried by Grace: How God Held Me Together

Life doesn't always go the way we imagine. I've walked through seasons of grief, heartbreak and loss that made me wonder if I'd ever find my way back. But in every single moment, one thing has remained the same God's grace.

For years, I tried to be strong on my own. I thought I could fix everything, hold it all together, and push my way through. But the truth is, I was falling apart inside. It was in those quiet moments of exhaustion when I had nothing left to give that I felt something greater than myself. A whisper in my heart saying "You are not alone. I am with you."

That was God.

He didn't show up with load miracles or quick fixed. Instead. He gave me peace in the middle of chaos. He gave me strength when I couldn't find it in myself. He gave me strength when I couldn't find it in myself. He placed the right people in my life for a season and gently removed the ones who were never meant to stay. Even when I didn't understand His Plan. He was protecting me from battles I didn't even know were ahead.

I look back now and see how every setback was preparation. Every delay was a lesson. Every loss was doorway to something new.

One of the greatest things I've learned is that healsing doesn't happen overnight. Some days are heavy. Some nights feel endless. But God's grace is patient. It doesn't rush the process. He meets me where I am whether I'm on my knees in prayer, cooking in my kitchen to calm my mind, or simply sitting in silence tying to breathe again.

Through it all, I've come to understand that faith isn't about never feeling broken. It's about trusting the One who can put the pieces back together.

One of the most unexpected ways God has healed me through food. Cooking has become my quite therapy, a way to pour love into every meal. Some dishes remind me of my hardest seasons, while others celebrate the moments overcome.

In my kitchen, I've cried, prayed, and laughed and with every meal I prepared, I am reminded that God's grace is in the small things like a warm plate of food on a weary day, or the comfort of sharing it with someone you love.

Life is not easy we have what we called better days, great days, bad days but you learn along the way to embrace each and every that and treat yourself gently and kindness. I just remember the conversation I had with one of my close friend as she was sharing about her depression and anxiety and I "said to her she must always be kind to herself but never allow anything or situation which will push her nit to be motivated to do anything even if means taking a walk to a park or calling an old friend or making a cup of tea just keep going and always look forward to a better day.

If you're reading this and life feels too heavy right now, I want you to know this> God sees you. He hears the prayers you can't put into words. Even when it feels like nothing is changing. He's working behind the scenes in ways you can't imagine.

My story isn't perfect, and I'm still growing. But I've learned no matter how far you fall. His grace is strong enough to lift you up.

You are not forgotten. You are not too broken. And you are never too far gone for God's love to reach you.
