I’m choosing to be real and vulnerable here…
Most days, running Hold Fast Wellness is a true gift!! It’s a joy to serve others, to witness lives being changed, and to find ways to give back to the community God has placed us in. Those are the days I’m reminded that this work is more than a business. It’s a calling.
And then there are days like today 😑
Days where it feels like everything begins to crumble the moment I wake up. The weight feels heavy, all the doubts creep in, and fear whispers that everything Kurt and I have worked so hard to build could fall apart at any moment. Even worse, like there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
More than anything, my prayer has always for Hold Fast Wellness to continue to grow, not for our glory, but for God’s. I want to reach more people, serve more hearts, and allow others to truly see who Kurt and I are and the intentions God has placed on our hearts. Our desire has always been to love people well, steward this business faithfully, and walk in obedience, even when the path feels uncertain.
But some days…like TODAY…my faith feels tested. I feel weary. I want to lay it all down and walk away. And if I’m REAL honest, the fear of failure cuts deep, especially the thought of disappointing my dad even though he’s no longer with us 😢 In those moments, I TRY to remind myself that my worth is not found in success or perfection, but in being a child of God. But I’m only human and it still hurts to miss him so much and wish he were here to talk to.
Scripture tells us that “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted” and that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Even when I can’t see what He’s doing, I trust that He is working all things together for good.
So today, I choose to hold fast, not because I’m strong, but because He is. I will rest in His promises, lean into His peace, and keep taking the next faithful step forward.
If you’re in a season of doubt or weariness too, know this: God is NOT done with you or the plans He has for you. He is faithful.
