"There are so many things in this world that confuse me. I don’t understand certain fashion trends. I don’t understand my 4-year-old son’s reasonings for why he is right and I am wrong. And I don’t always understand why God allows bad things to happen. Some things just don’t make sense. In these moments, we need to remember that we are not the God of the universe. It seems silly to say, but it’s true. We need to remember the part that we play in God’s story."

Katie DeYoung explains what it's like to have a posture of humility, to practice radical acceptance, and to place our faith in the God who knows all the details of our lives and our stories.

"The valleys we experience in life, especially those that are long-suffering, can creep into our sense of identity. We tend to take on these identities and see ourselves through the lens of how we handled these experiences. Were we gracious and loving? Were we angry and depressed? If there is a right and wrong way to respond to our valleys, we can be plagued with wondering: Did we do it right?"

Katie DeYoung, MA, LCPC, LMHC, shares pieces of her journey and what she learned about her identity and glorifying God through the hardships and valleys in life.
