Hi Grace, I love what you shared about focusing on the good. I just wanted to offer a little caveat that if someone is suffering from a mental disorder like anxiety, depression, or OCD (like me), simply shifting our focus is not going to be enough to erase the sometimes overwhelming experience of anger, sadness, fear, worry, etc. Just offering this here because I used to read posts like these before I was diagnosed and feel so ashamed that I couldn’t seem to shake the doubt and discouragement on my own no matter what input I had in my life.
Hi Ali! Thanks for sharing! I definitely think that overwhelming experiences require spiritual, physical, and emotional support. (Wasn’t able to address all of that here) We’re multifaceted and this is such a nuanced topic! (:

Thank you for sharing about Making a Mother. We are so honored that these stories touched your heart.
Thanks for producing it! It’s been such an encouragement! 🤍
I also just finished reading Job. I wonder at the layers of it. I know I miss so much.
Ditto!
