He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,for my power is made perfect in weakness.” therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 ESVGod never audibly said no to me. But on the day I turned forty years old, the hope that swelled in my heart to have children one day wouldn’t rise above the floor. Before that moment, I’d gripped expectation and pled with my whole heart for God to give me babies.
How God Comforts Us: 4 Special Ways | Butterfly Living — Leaving A Well

“BEEP B-E-E-P!” Our family’s brown Toyota Corolla’s horn echoed off the walls of the rock-walled tunnel we zipped through in the Smoky Mountains. Daddy held his heavy hand down on the horn from the moment we entered the tunnel until our car popped into the sunshine on the other side. Belly laughs, and joyful squeals rang out from the back seat where I sat, squished between my brother and sister. Being the youngest child, I was always summoned to sit in the middle.

All my life, I’ve wanted to be the brave one—even though I cling to life’s safety zone. So, when I asked my family to take part in a whitewater rafting adventure, they met my request with wide eyes. After the initial shock, they willingly agreed—and that’s how our family vacation to the Smokey Mountains began. When the day for the adventure arrived, I bounced in the seat of the retired school bus that wound up the mountainside.
Our Heavenly Father Gives Comfort in the Valleys — Leaving A Well

Feb 21, 2025 | leavingawell.com | Rosann Coulon

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 ESVI associated the 23rd Psalm with death for most of my life. As a pastor’s daughter, I attended numerous funerals and most of those services––in some way––included Psalm 23. And I understand why. This psalm gives great comfort in times of mourning.

I wish I woke up each morning with an attitude of gratitude. But the truth is: I tend to approach life focused on what’s wrong and undone. I’m often anxious about the unknowns lurking around the corner. Instead of lips full or praise, I run to God babbling a litany of requests for certainty, assurances, and utterances of “Please fix it now, Jesus.”And while our good Father welcomes our pleas, He also desires us to walk through life with grateful hearts and joyful minds (Col. 3:15-17).

Life will bring disappointment to each of us. Discouragement knocks when a valued relationship suddenly ends, we’re denied the job opportunity, or an unexpected health crisis throws us into a tailspin. I’ve endured all these things. One particular season filled with disappointment was the long years of chronic illness I endured because of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Someone's Praying for You — Leaving A Well

Sep 19, 2024 | leavingawell.com | Rosann Coulon

Christ Jesus who died––more than that, who was raised to life––is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Romans 8:34 NIVA notification flashed across my phone’s screen as I ambled through my morning routine. I swiped to read the words enclosed in a gray bubble: “I’m praying for you today.”When my friend shared her message with me, she had no idea I had endured a restless night of sleep.
