As one of my blog readers or subscribers, you are aware the past few years have been the hardest, most painful years of my life. If you’re visiting my blog for the first time today from my Proverbs 31 devotion, “When You’ve Lost The Will To Fight”, you can click here for a little backstory.
During this difficult season, there were many, many months I felt like God had forgotten all about me and was oblivious to the devastating circumstances I was enduring. I thought my hurt would never end; my heart would never heal; my fears would never cease. I wondered if my life could ever be filled with joy again. I even wondered if smiling, laughing and feeling calm, secure and at peace were nothing more than sweet memories of the past.
But oh how God proved me wrong! If you are facing a difficult season right now, I hope the words He gave me to write in Love Life Again will breathe hope and encouragement into your spirit and help you discover how to start loving your life too, even if it’s not the life you imagined.
The circumstances that broke my heart a few years ago haven’t changed, but me, my heart and my outlook on life have. Today I am a completely different person than I was a few years ago. A genuinely happy person who has learned she can always have joy even when life is hard, and that leaning on Christ and praying for His promises to play out in our lives is the key to finding it.
I said in my P31 devotion, “Faith is the key to having the willpower to fight for joy, even when we feel we have no fight left in us. If we have the will, God has the power and redemption always wins.” This, dear friend, is the key to finding your joy – it has to start with you having the desire and willpower to fight for it. If you want it bad enough, God has the power to help you find it, and feel happy every day, no matter what.
Life is not always as it we thought it would be or think it should be. It’s not always fair or easy. But regardless, life is a gift and we only get one chance to live it. Let’s all choose to live it with joy.
If you’re struggling today in any way – whether it’s from disappointment, discouragement, discontentment or a broken heart – and if you’re wondering if you can truly love life in light of your circumstances, especially those out of your control, I pray you will consider pre-ordering a copy of Love Life Again.

Thankbuuu for the opportunity to win the free book. The
I too thank you for your post. As Kathy replied, I too am in the process of a divorce after being married almost 20 years. In addition, custody issues compounds the pain. Your devotional not only spoke to my heart, but described my feelings perfectly. I once was a joyful person and that has been gone for nearly two years. I wondered if that person would return. Now, I am reminded to have hope in the Lord.
Thank you for your message and devotion. It spoke to my heart. I am in beginning stages of divorce and you described exactly how I feel. I will cling to Holy Joy. Navigating divorce as a Christian is what is eating me up most. How did you resolve your conscience? I have a few friends tell me I am giving up on God. After 26 years of the same struggles in my marriage, I feel God is guiding me in a different path and will restore myself and my husband but separately.
The last two years have been filled with loss. My husband died after a five year battle with Cancer, my physical and emotional health deteriorated so much that I had to leave a job I loved so I could focus on caring for my two teenage boys. Without God I would not have survived but I am still struggling to find peace, joy and to truly live and love life again. I can’t wait to read your book ????.
I would love to win this book to give to a friend who’s husband was killed in a semi truck accident last month. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you for sharing – I read the back story post. I’ve been struggling with finding my way out of “the pit” as I am in a similar situation. You’ve given me the courage to keep on keeping on. Thank you!
Thanks also for the opportunity to win that book – I honestly can’t make purchases that aren’t bare necessities right now, so I’m hoping!
As I sit in my office at work right now, I am trying to fight back the tears after reading this. To say that the past three months have been trial after trial would be an understatement. I have always been a joyful person, but I am honestly growing very weary right now. I am trying to claim several verses of scripture right now to defeat that, and I know I have several close friends who are bathing me in prayer however, I am just really tired. I am so thankful for the friends who have noticed how tired I am and have cooked a meal for my family or just sent a sweet text letting me know that they are praying. I just need a couple of miracles….I think I just ready to be out of the valley for a while if you know what I mean.
Thank you for giving us a opportunity to win.share on fb
Thank you for sharing your story and writing this book. I can’t wait to read it. After almost 3 years of wanting to be happy again after my divorce, I am praying God will speak to me through this book.
At 3am I cannot sleep why because God has your story ready for me to read and cry to. I have just filed for a divorce after being happy married for 15 years or so I thought “we” were in a happy God driven marriage . The shame of his abandonment the say he walked out as I’m preparing for college midterms and to the shock of his infidelity news months later left me lifeless.His ridicule and lies that my best friend/soon to be ex husband told the world has left me so numb. Not only did him walking out on our marriage shatter me so did the after math. From my own family and friends blaming me for me for our distraught marriage which I literally felt my happiest in was pulled from under me and stolen like a thief in the night with no warning. I have to continue to walk up daily. The exact same words I have said to myself for so many months “who am I”. Thank you for sharing your story. My tears still flow like it happened yesterday but I know these are healing tears.
It is 6:15 am. Have just read your post and I definitely feel a connectikn to you and all the others who have posted their story. I have been married for over 50 years and discovered last year a secret my husband has been keeping for 3 years. To s a y my world and life has been turned upside down is an understatement. What do you do when you realize the life you’ve been living and thought was great is is artificial? The trust is completely gone. Yes there have been vague apologies, but nothing really heartfelt or genuinely sorrowful.Trying to get past being shattered as a woman is taxing each day. Images abound in my head t h at are hard to dismiss. I feel like my marriage has been a lie. Please pray for me and for the joy of my salvation to return, especially when the anger wells up inside. That’s not who I am, but the enemy wants to defeat me. I want to believe God for peace and joy and restoration in my life. Thanks.
Thank you for this encouragement today……….God has a great future and plans in store for us……He gently nudges us forward, whispers “keep going “ and reminds us that He travels with us on our challenging journeys….He has encouraged me through your words many times, and is reaching into the hidden hurts and asking me to open up the door to them so He can help me with them.
Thank you for this today and please pray that I will find the courage to continue opening up to Him that I will be healed of the hurt….
What a life change you experienced but so thankful that Your pursued God through that to now be able to offer hope and encouragement to us. Life has a way of interrupting and causing us to question who we are. Our identity can be so fragile unless it is grounded in the truth of who we are in Christ. I love receiving your blog. Thank you for your transparency and wisdom.
After loss of a close friend this is very helpful. Thank you.
