If the winter string of holidays doesn't fill you with Joy, read this!

For some women this holiday season is not as joyous. For these women jingle bells is just a bunch of noise, winter wonderland has turned into a mud slushy that they are responsible for cleaning.

Mark Vroegop reminds us that biblical lament is a God-given pathway for hurting people to move toward hope. As counselors, we can walk with others by:

✨ Inviting honesty — Encourage counselees to speak truthfully about their suffering rather than minimizing it.
✨ Modeling biblical language — Show how Scripture gives words for sorrow, especially in the Psalms.
✨ Guiding toward trust — Lament doesn’t end in despair but leads to renewed confidence in God’s character.
✨ Normalizing the process — Remind them that lament is not a lack of faith—but an expression of it.

💡 Practical Application:
Ask, “If you could tell God exactly how you feel today—without editing anything—what would you say?”
Then gently help them move from honest complaint toward trusting the Lord.

Even Jesus had emotions, they are God-given. We are not to let these emotions control us, rather give them (back) over to God and let him control them for His good!

"Scripture assumes that we live with fear and anxiety. We are weak people who can control very little. The Psalms are filled with human fears and anxieties—and these are words that the Lord asks us to speak to him. He actually wants to hear about our fears." —Ed Welch

Below, I have posted Psalm 46. God is more powerful than the brokenness of this world that has been so brashly plastered on news outlets this week( and most weeks).

C.S Lewis is known for saying that "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world".

The tragic events in the news lately are not something to spin for "toxic positivity"by saying "well, God let it happen so let's rejoice"; But they are also not something to let change your knowledge and heart about God and His character. He uses the brokenness of this world for His good plan. We are to "rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."( Romans 12:15) and this follows only a few verses after Romans 12:1-2, which speaks clearly about God's testing, so "you may discern what the will of God is, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Sorrow and broken people don't negate God's goodness. Death is not going to change His plans and He does not change like we often do in the midst of tragedy.

In that we may rejoice.

"Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." Proverbs 19:21

Does anyone elses brain try to plan your entire day for you and your kids down to what you're gonna have for snack? But then everyday chaos (usually rooted in sinful desire of toddlers or me), chucks your plan into the fire and pours some gasoline on it? In my few moments of quiet today, as I resist scrolling, binge watching or burying my concern in completing tasks, I turned to the prayer section of my bible app and the verse above was on there...In a world where there is an " easy fix" to most problems, opening the Bible to calm my heart, nerves and brain isn't usually in the top of my list but it should be...

He sees you, he has a plan for you and he knows what you need.
