Rise Again: How God Turns Our Falls Into Strength
🩷 Rise Again: How God Turns Our Falls Into Strength
Life has a way of knocking us flat when we least expect it. One minute you’re steady, the next, you’re on the ground, pulled under water, gasping, flailing, and wondering if you’ll ever find your footing again.
Fear yells. Guilt whispers, “You’re failing.”
But Momma, here’s the truth: YOU RISE.
Not once. Not twice. But over and over again.
And every single time you do, you come back stronger!
🦋 My “Counselor Search” Season
I’ll never forget the season of trying to find the right counselor for Chloe. At first, I thought it would be simple, make a call, book an appointment, and finally get her the support she needed. But it didn’t go like that at all.
I had notebooks full of scribbles, names crossed out, numbers circled, arrows pointing to dead ends. Hours spent on hold, praying this one would be it. But instead came the letdowns: “Sorry, we don’t see teens.” “Our waitlist is six months.” “We’re not trained in trauma.”
Each dead end felt like another fall, like I was being dragged back under water. My chest would tighten, my eyes would sting because of the tears, and guilt would whisper, “You should be doing better. You’re letting her down.”
But here’s what God showed me, persistence matters! Every time I picked myself up, made one more call, asked one more question, I was rising again. Fighting for her. And in the process, He was strengthening me!
😂 The Surfing Story
It reminds me of a reel I just made of my son, Jacob, and Chloe trying to lake surf behind a wake boat. They fell repeatedly. Hard. And over and over again. If you’ve ever been dragged behind a boat, you know, it’s NOT graceful. You're being pulled under water, arms burning, lungs screaming.
But every single time they fell, they got back up. And the moment they finally stood tall, surfboard slicing the surface, the joy on their face said it all, it was worth it. Priceless!!
That’s the picture of our journey. Life drags you under. You sputter, you fall, you fail. But every time you rise, you gain strength. Falling doesn’t make you weak. Refusing to stay down makes you a warrior.
And this is how WARRIORS are made! 🦋
🩷 The Warrior Truth
God never asked you to be flawless, He called you to be fierce.
Every stumble, every setback, every fall is training ground.
He’s not measuring how many times you hit the floor,
He’s watching how many times you rise!!
Because warriors aren’t born in comfort.
They’re forged in the fire.
They’re shaped in the struggle.
And that’s exactly what He’s doing in you.
🩷 Warrior Mom Tip
When life knocks you down:
Pause before you panic. Breathe. Regroup.
Write down what you’ve done. Even small wins count. EVERY WIN COUNTS.
Shift the voice you’re listening to. Guilt says “You’re failing.” God says “You’re rising.” The enemy is always lurking, whispering lies to keep you stuck, but call him what he is a LIAR. He has no authority over you.
And here’s the truth to hold onto: the same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in you. You are a daughter of the King. You are not powerless, you are equipped.
✨ “Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.” Proverbs 24:16
✨ “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles.” Isaiah 40:31
So when life knocks you flat whether it’s another phone call that ends in “no,” or a face-first fall on the lake, don’t believe the lie that you’re failing. God is building persistence in you. And persistence is what makes warriors!
Because falling isn’t failure. Staying down is.
RISE AGAIN AND AGAIN, Momma. God's got you!!!
With love and fierceness,
