Into Deeper Waters: Pause To Remember

October 24, 2014 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

My eyes brimmed with tears, and I struggled to focus on the computer screen in front of me. I lifted my hands from the keyboard and covered my face, my chest heaving with sobs and emotions pouring forth from the deep recesses of my memory.

I had a speaking engagement the very next day, and God had not-so-subtly informed me that the talk I thought I was to deliver was not what He intended. So it was that less than 24 hours before the women’s ministry gathering, I found myself rewriting my message. Normally that would be okay, but this message….it was more intensely personal than most, and it took me to a place in my mind that I hadn’t visited in awhile. As I typed out my story of depression and anxiety and panic attacks, I was moved by it all again in such a way that it could have happened the day before rather than nine years prior. The feelings of remembrance swelled in me until I couldn’t hold them in any longer; tears and emotions burst forth….

 

I’m excited to be sharing today at Deeper Waters, a new gathering place for women who seek to go deeper with Christ. To read the rest of this post – a story of growth, change, pain, and redemption – please visit us there. We’d love to welcome you into the circle.

A Letter to 2020

Dear 2020,  I think I’m over you. I don’t think I’m telling you anything you don’t know; I also don’t think you can pretend that our relationship has been a healthy one. I’m just ready to move on from all that you’ve put me through. It’s time. I can’t take it anymore, and I have to believe that something better is coming, and soon. I have to move on and
