If you anchor to Jesus, He will either calm the storm or calm you.
As you toss and turn through the night until you finally give up. When you sit at the foot of a hospital bed, watching a loved one suffer. As you scroll through social media seeing everyone celebrating while your family is struggling. During these moments, it's easy to feel completely alone.
But in your moments of deepest despair, God is closer than you can imagine. Right beside you, holding you, carrying you through. He is as close as your most desperate whisper.
What if we could change the entire experience of our lives, by changing the way we look at our problems? What if we could claim God’s Word, God’s promises for ourselves and face our battles knowing He has already won?
- Christ already conquered sin and death on the cross so we could be reconciled to God.
- Because of that, God has promised to be with us in every single thing we face.
- Christ walked this earth and knows how we are feeling and what we are struggling with. He has unlimited compassion for us.
I've been where you are, walking in deep valleys for seasons that feel much too long. Feeling alone in the trials and grief. Struggling to keep my eyes on Jesus when I need Him most.

It’s time to put our struggles in their proper place by reminding them that God is in His proper place. He is still and will always be on the throne. Watching out for us, caring for us, protecting us, loving us. When we keep our eyes focused on Him we can get through anything.
In my deepest valley, I took Bible verses and changed them into declarations to pray back to God.
Hebrews 4:16 became:
I will come boldly to the throne of grace and I will obtain mercy and find grace to help me in my time of need.
Psalm 34:18 became:
Lord, You are close to me when I am brokenhearted and save me when I am crushed in spirit.
I began to claim His promises for myself. Keeping myself focused on His character instead of my problems. I want the same for you.
Stop binging tv to cope with anxiety and fear. (Gilmore Girls, anyone?)
Instead, experience peace that only God can give.
Stop reaching for chocolate or another cup of coffee to get through the day. (or Diet Pepsi, my personal favorite)
Instead, learn to rest in God and His Word, knowing that not even the best Godiva chocolate compares to Him.
Stop being taken under by overwhelming grief and hopelessness.
Instead, know God is right there with you, walking you through each day.

I'm Stephanie.
I am a Jesus-loving, hope-spreading, single mom.
I am completely sold out for Jesus. Big time. I have watched Him show up and show off in small and mighty ways in my life. He has walked with me through the darkest days and led me up long and winding paths to the mountaintop. He is my Savior, Redeemer, and truest friend. His love has flowed over me in big and small ways until I can't contain it. I pray that it flows out over everyone I meet.
I am a single mama to one biological and one adopted daughter and I love my not-so-littles with my whole heart. We live in Wisconsin with two dogs and an ever-changing number of fish. IBC Root Beer and homemade chocolate chip cookies are my favorites. If you visited my house during the Christmas season, you would likely see three Christmas trees and drink a cup of homemade hot chocolate (my mom’s recipe) with lots of marshmallows.
I am a daughter of the one true King and I pray that you see Him in everything I do. I am definitely a work-in-progress, clinging to God’s promises with you.
My favorite verse on the hardest of days is Colossians 1:17. He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. Even us.
