    I think it’s no surprise these attacks have come after the release of your devotional about peace! You are shining the light of the Lord and the darkness wants to hide it. Keep running to the rock and stand firm in Christ alone. Thank you for sharing your struggles and what has been helping 💛

      I have felt the same thing! I def think you’re right!

      I came to say the same thing ! The enemy is definitely at work here trying to attack your peace but our Lord and Savior has defeated satan once and for all. The enemy has no power over the light and love of Christ. I will be lifting you and your family in prayer. The Lord will guide you and strengthen you through this and you will grow stronger in your faith as He draws you closer to Him.

    I am so thankful that you acted on the Lord’s prompting to share your struggles. Your vulnerability encouraged me and likely many others. Don’t be afraid to continue to pare down your workload. We have four kids and when I had health challenges we hired a part time nanny and my husband made the school lunches that whole year. It was hard on my pride as a homemaker but it allowed me to heal.
    Peace be with you! 🤗

    When I say I know what you’re going through… I really do. I feel like every symptom you have is what I’m going through as well. We found out my 20 month old had liver cancer a few months ago, but if I’m honest this has been going on even longer than that. So I can’t even say it is all just from the situation we’ve been going through. Thanks for being transparent. Helps me realize it’s not just me and I’m not alone. ❤

      So sorry you’re going through all of that! Will be praying for your child!

    These are such encouraging words and I’m in the same place right now. Learning to lean on and trust God and give up control.

    Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. ❤ This is a common struggle, and it's good to hear we aren't alone. Other mamas have been there, too... and moat importantly the Lord never leaves or forsakes us. ❤

    Thank you for your transparency, currently in a valley myself. A lot of uncertainty with finances right now and I’m 2-3 weeks away from my 3rd trimester. We have a lot to figure out, but this season is stripping and exposing a lot in me that I’ve known I need to deal with but haven’t. I haven’t been a follower of your channel for long, but I’ve been so encouraged by what I’ve watched so far. Thank you, Anna ❤️ praying for you as you go through this season of life.

    • @AnnaBruceblog
      @AnnaBruceblog  5 месяцев назад

      Aw Laura! So sorry you’re going through a rough season! Praying it all gets figured out quickly and that you can deal with the things that need tending to you. Thank you for your kind words!

    I’m really sorry you’re in a valley but honestly this was really helpful for me to watch as I’ve been in one, as well. It’s been a trying time for our family the last 18 months and some days I feel myself in a real pit of despair. The Lord has been everything to me. I’ve started to exercise and that’s helped some and now the warmer weather and also lowering my standards, honestly. I am a recovering perfectionist. I will pray for you and again thank you so much. Your channel is one my faves on here! God bless you!

      lowering standards is huge! I, too am also a recovering perfectionist lol. We can do this girl!! Thanks for watching and being here!

    I really really appreciate you sharing.. I love Homeschooling my kiddos but sometimes I feel inexplicably sad.. I have no idea why
    And I just have to say ..I thought it was so funny when you sshh'd your toddler while you were teaching your older one a lesson .. I do that a lot.. my toddler makes so much noise when I'm working with my 8 and 6 yr old

    • @AnnaBruceblog
      @AnnaBruceblog  5 месяцев назад

      Yes! It def can be so hard at times. But we have Jesus and he will help us! You’re doing a great job mama!

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. I will be praying for you. I have been there, and it's a tough season. Thank you for your tips on getting through it. Thank you for this video and opening up!

    I’m so sorry you’ve been in a hard season, but you’re so right…we learn the heart of God is a new way when everything else is stripped away. I have done many of the things you suggested since dealing with the traumatic death of my dad about 16 months ago. My trauma response was pretty intense and I felt so stuck. A beautiful Christian counselor helped teach me about how God has designed our brains and bodies to walk through trauma and it’s been life changing. There are still REALLY hard days, but I feel equipped to move through them with His help and that feels good. Getting outside as soon as I wake up, even if it’s freezing or cloudy has been the biggest chance. That rush of fresh air and connecting to nature, even if for a moment has made a huge impact! Praying for you sweet Anna! We continue to be blessed by our time in your devotional each morning❤

    • @AnnaBruceblog

      I’m so so sorry about your dad. Praying for comfort for you. I can’t imagine how hard that must be. But yes you’re so right about all of that. I need to try the getting outside first thing tho!

    I'm there with you, 100%... except I don't have the same support you have. It's a hard place to be. And I feel like I just put on a face to get through the day. I also deal with early onset RA and I feel like my body is much older than it should be. So my body and my mind are both against me. I've got 4 kids all under 9 and it's a struggle. Daily. And even though I love the Lord I still feel alone.

    • @AnnaBruceblog
      @AnnaBruceblog  5 месяцев назад +1

      Wow that def sounds like a lot and I’m so sorry you don’t have the support you need/deserve. Will be praying that changes! Thank you for being here!

    Hi Anna God bless you. I believe that it’s a spiritual warfare especially in the time that we’re leaving right now. We need to put on the whole armor of God especially over our thoughts take every thought captive and and use the
    authority that Christ has given us I’ll be praying for you. Thank for this video, blessings 😊

    Thank you for your beautiful video. Your openness will minister to others in their hard seasons. I’m reading Sara Hagerty’s new book “The Gift of Limitations.” I think the message would encourage your heart in this time.
