The honesty, the ache, the waiting—it all feels like prayer woven into poetry. Thank you both for walking this road with such raw faith and reminding us that even in the silence, God is still leading us Home.

Thank you, Mandy.

Your words capture the very heart of what we hoped to pour into this—faith stitched into ache, silence held by God’s presence. Grateful you walked this road with us. 🪻

This is a great collaboration poem on the importance of waiting on God when things are uncertain. While the whole poem was great, this line caught my attention -->

"How to trust—

what hasn’t happened yet.

How to bleed—

without bitterness."

Being on a long journey can be so frustrating sometimes. Trusting that God will get you there while still questioning when it'll happen. But like God's Word says, He never promised things would be easy. And this is something I'm trying to remind myself.

Thanks for sharing Beneath and God bless you!

Really appreciate your grace about our collaboration. I truly feel these words, but I also believe even in the waiting—God hasn't stopped watching and loving us. Showing us His mercy that lights our path.

You’re absolutely right Jay! During tough seasons, it can feel like God has abandoned us. But in actuality, He’s always working! And like you said, He’s knows what we’re going through and will help us to endure.

I have to also remind myself of this, too. frustration is a normal emotion to what appears to be delayed, but God is always on time. 🤍

Amen! You’re right. He’s not limited by time like we are. He always has the best timing for everything.

Could God tell me any louder that the word Patience is going to be my word for this month? Everywhere I look it's there as a constant reminder. Thank you both for this beautiful poem. Praise God for the gifts He gives each of us. Amen. 😊❤️
