August–December 2018
When Your Work Disappears – Trusting God With Loss
This year has tested faith in ways I hadn’t expected. After months of writing from bed and building a series of posts, a blog virus wiped everything offline in August. Months of work disappeared in an instant.
At first, I felt a deep sense of loss — not just for the writing, but for the creative momentum, the effort, and the ideas that had grown quietly over months. It was a reminder that nothing in this world is fully ours; everything is a gift from God.
For the next few months, I had to pause. I couldn’t recreate what was lost, and I had to let go of the plans I had been building. And yet, even in this season, God’s presence was constant. He reminded me that faithfulness isn’t always measured by output. It’s measured by trust, obedience, and perseverance, even when circumstances feel beyond control.
It was a season of reflection, prayer, and patience. Writing remained in my heart, even if the posts were gone. I spent the months leaning into God’s care, trusting that He was preparing the next step — even if I couldn’t see it yet.
By the end of 2018, I could look back and see His faithfulness through every challenge — the falls, the limitations, the loss. Even when life felt uncertain or my work vanished, God was still guiding, sustaining, and shaping the journey.
This season taught me that God’s care doesn’t depend on what we have or what we can control. His faithfulness is steady, even in the desert, even in loss, and even when we feel most uncertain.
