This season, Beauty for Ashes, has been about remembering that God doesn’t waste anything. He meets us right in the middle of our brokenness and if we let Him, He slowly, faithfully brings something good out of it.
Today’s episode is with my sweet friend, Katy Moffitt, and I’m just really excited for you to hear from her. Katy shares her story of coming out of some really dark, heavy and painful places and being brought into God’s marvelous light through salvation.
One of the things I admire most about Katy is her humility. She’s so willing to own her own struggles and be real about her journey, and it makes what she shares feel really practical and helpful. She’s also just really easy to listen to. There’s a sweetness about her that I think you’ll pick up on right away.
Katy is a quality lady, and I know this conversation is going to encourage you, no matter what season you’re in.
Several times in this episode we talk about the idea of putting God on trial.
When we go through struggles, one of our first reactions as humans is to ask “why.” We look for someone or something to blame, and often, we feel anger. I’ll be the first to admit—I’ve been there. I’ve felt those same emotions and taken those same actions.
But I can also tell you this: the moment I began to accept God’s sovereignty, and to see my struggles as part of His perfect will, something started to change. That’s when I began to heal. That’s when I was able to move forward.
The beauty, though, doesn’t come right away. It comes when we take ownership of our part in the struggle.
If our hardship is the result of sin, then we have to be willing to confess, repent, and do the work to make things right.
And if our struggle is something beyond us, something allowed by God, then we’re called to trust. To believe that His ways are better than our ways.
That’s not easy. Believe me, I know.
But when we get to that place, that’s when beauty begins to rise from the ashes.
Are you ready to be encouraged and equipped to abide in Christ? Let’s get into the heart of today’s episode.
