When Doubt Creeps In… Keep Going

Welcome to a beautiful new week. I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

This community is made up of like-minded women who want to grow—not just in their marriages, but in their lives. We’re women of faith, vision, and courage. And this is a space where you’re surrounded by others who are committed to the same.

This week, I want to share something personal.

One evening, not long ago, my thoughts got the best of me. The kind of thoughts that creep in when you’re tired, worn out, or doubting. They came heavier than usual and louder than I expected:

“Maybe this isn’t working…”

“What if I’m wrong?”

“Should I be embarrassed that things aren’t moving faster?”

I don’t usually dwell there. But this time? The thoughts lingered.

Then out of the blue, I got an email from a mentor. It was mass-produced, not personal. But it felt like it was written just for me.

She said something like, “I don’t know who this is for, but if you’re feeling discouraged… trust that things are happening behind the scenes you can’t yet see. Don’t give up. Keep going. The desire you have was placed in your heart for a reason.”

And her P.S.?

“Things work out even better than you can imagine.”

That was the first whisper from heaven.

Then the next day, my niece said to me, “Please don’t ever stop writing Marriage Monday.”

Then a friend sent me a Marco Polo and shared the impact my work had made in her life.

God heard me. And He sent earthly angels to remind me: You’re on the right path. Keep going.

Maybe you need to hear that too.

Marriage is a sacred, beautiful, stretching thing.

We start off with love, excitement, and dreams of a shared life… but along the way, we hit roadblocks. Financial strain. Physical exhaustion. Spiritual disconnection. Parenting struggles. Misunderstandings. Loneliness.

And when things get hard, the thoughts come:

“Is this what I signed up for?”

“Did I marry the right person?”

“Is this ever going to change?”

If you’ve had those thoughts, you’re not broken. You’re human. You’re growing.

And I just want to say: don’t give up.

Watch for the podcast, the friend, the unexpected message that hits just right. Maybe even this message is one of those for you.

You’re fighting for something that is eternal.

Your marriage has purpose, potential, and divine design.

Even if today feels heavy, look back at the growth. Celebrate the small wins. Then take a breath and keep going.

Marriages are built in the quiet, unseen, and ordinary moments of effort. They’re strengthened by the choice to show up—again and again.

This Week’s Challenge:

🌱 Take 5 minutes today to do a mini gratitude journal—just for your marriage.

Write down:

• 3 things you’re grateful for in your spouse or relationship

• 1 memory that makes you smile

• 1 way you can show love this week

Then say a prayer for your marriage. Invite Heaven to partner with you.

If things feel stuck or struggling, especially do this. Gratitude softens the heart and opens the path for healing.

You’re not alone. I believe in you. More importantly, God believes in what you’re building. Keep watering the things you want to grow.
