"As a new parent who struggled to love parenting, God’s provision was hiding in plain sight. I would beg God for answers by asking the exact wrong question: 'Why?' After 4 years of struggling, God truly opened my eyes to see that what I thought was Him keeping joy from me was actually His provision of a new perspective. I would love parenting when parenting wasn’t my main focus. When I first focused on His Kingdom, focusing on parenting no longer felt like suffocating defeat. That is where God’s freedom lives! Free to love Him first. The love for my husband follows. And today, deep love for my child and motherhood bursts out of that freedom and provision. Thanks be to God." -Kristina What's your #LongStoryShort?
