Ever had one of those days where you feel like the world is asking for too much of you and giving too little back?
Yeah. Been there. Still there sometimes.
But here’s a truth that literally wraps itself around me when the overwhelm hits:
“You hem me in—behind and before; You lay Your hand upon me.”
—Psalm 139:5
Let’s pause on that.
God doesn’t just walk ahead of you, paving a way.
He’s not just covering your past with grace and mercy.
He’s literally hemming you in—front and back.
Like your favorite oversized hoodie on a rainy day. Or the coziest weighted blanket that says,
“Girl, I’ve got you.”
🤍 When You're Stuck in the In-Between
If you’re like me (hello, Enneagram 6 fam 👋), you’ve got a PhD in worst-case scenario planning. We love a good plan B, C, and backup charger for the backup charger.
But Psalm 139:5 reminds us of this peaceful truth:
You don’t have to hold it all together. Because God already is.
Behind you? Grace.
Before you? Purpose.
With you? Presence.
That kind of love doesn’t just guide—it guards.
🎯 A Gentle Call to Action
Today, take a moment to remember who hems you in.
✅ Take 5 minutes and breathe deep—literally.
✅ Speak this truth over yourself: "I am surrounded by love I didn’t earn, and peace I can’t lose."
✅ Drop a comment below and tell me: Where are you needing to feel that “hemmed in” peace right now?
Friend, you are covered. Not crushed.
You are surrounded. Not stranded.
Lean into that kind of cozy today. God’s got you—past, present, and whatever’s coming next. 💓

Subject Line: 🔦 Light in the Dark: Finding Purpose When Life Feels Dim
Hey friend,
Ever feel like you’re walking through life with the lights flickering and no flashlight in sight?
Yeah… same.
Some days feel dim. The purpose feels far away. The motivation? Missing.
But here’s what I’m learning (on the hard days, the tired days, the “just need coffee and a nap” days):
God does His best work in the dark.
He created the world in darkness.
He knit you together in the quiet of the womb.
He rolled the stone away from a tomb still covered in night.
So if your path feels unclear right now—don’t panic. Don’t pack up. Don’t label it lost.
You may just be walking through the part of the story where purpose is growing in the shadows.
✨ Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
It’s not a spotlight. It’s a lamp. Just enough for the next step.
And sometimes that’s all we need.
So today, take the next step—no matter how small—and trust that purpose isn’t gone… it’s just being revealed inch by inch.
You're not stuck.
You're being led.
You're still on purpose—even if it feels dim right now.
If this hit home for you, hit reply and let me know where you're needing light today—I’d love to pray for you. 💛
