For all who are hurting and worn out…

Thinking of and praying for all who have a quiet ache in their heart today.

~ The ones who tell everyone they’re “fine” but nothing feels okay…


~The ones who deserved an apology yet never got one…


~The ones who smile and lift up others but nobody sees or lifts up their heavy heart…


~The ones who sacrificed and built a marriage, family, business, or relationship yet lost the dream they worked so hard for…


~The ones who are going through deep grief; who wake up feeling like there’s a silent funeral in their heart—yet are still trying to “live” in spite of the pain…


~The ones who battle trauma, deep wounds, suicidal thoughts, excruciating grief, or addictions yet quietly choose one more day of strength—each & every day…hour…minute…second…


~The ones who choose & make time for their loved ones but aren’t being chosen…


~The ones who lost their “world” as they navigate staying in the workd without them…


~The ones who have been hurt, wronged, neglected, rejected, and mistreated by their spouse, kiddos, and family yet remain steadfast in their love, kindness, & loyalty to keep the marriage or family together…


~The ones who tried so hard and did everything in their power to prevent a loved one from dying…or help a loved one through mental, emotional, health, or addiction challenges…or tried to prevent grief, pain, trauma, generational sin, or bad events — yet the unthinkable happened…or were left feeling helpless…


~The ones who were betrayed yet have remained kind, loyal, and faithful…


~The ones who others & life tried to break but they continue to get back up…


~The ones who feel worn before they even get out of bed yet keep pressing forward…


~The ones who keep going in spite of life not turning out how they thought it’d be—how it should’ve been…

I want you to know:
You are seen.
You are worthy of being heard.
You are so valuable!
You are incredibly loved!
I’m glad you are here! So are your loved ones!

Thank you for choosing to stay here on earth…for choosing strength when it’s easier to quit…for never giving up.
The world is a better place because of your beautiful heart!

It won’t always be like this.
It won’t always feel like this.

It won’t be or feel as bad as it is today.

Whatever is hurting & weighing your heart down, please know someone cares.


I’m praying for ALL of the Grief Bites family, my family, & friends today!
You are a treasure!

I pray your best days are to come.💕

Love,
Kim

By the way…

God WILL reward you for all of the goodness, kindness, love, investment, loyalty, & encouragement you have poured & comtimue to pour into others…He WILL be making up for all you have experienced…for everything that has broken your heart.🥰🙏🏻

Change Begins With God

Change your ______, change your life!
Each & every day presents an amazing opportunity…the ability to change things up. Every change you make can domino into other areas of life. 

Of course, this can be misused—and lead to horrific consequences.

But if you choose to wisely change & better your life & relationships, there’s incredible blessings that can make life more awesome than you can currently comprehend.

If you’re not liking how life has turned out, you most likely can’t fix it in just one day.
It’ll take sitting down with God, asking for direction…and taking action.

 When you don’t know what to do, the best place to start is God. 

Next is to do your part by cleaning up your life: stop doing what you know is wrong or whatever is hurting your life, and start doing what you know is right.

Sometimes, God is waiting for us to do our God-given responsibilities and the obvious next right thing so He will be freed up to bless our lives and propel us forward to a much better, new season.

God loves you, wants the best for you, & has great plans for you! (Jer. 29:11)

Your life is valuable! God truly does care so never give up!

Stop what you’re doing right now & spend some time with Him.😄

Change doesn’t happen overnight, but step-by-step, life can become much, much better!

Think about life…Think about God’s purpose for your life…Consider what brings you great joy, as well as what will make getting out of bed everyday something not to dread.

What can YOU choose to CHANGE today to change your life? With God’s help, what do you think you should stop doing? What responsibilities do you need to begin doing consistently? With God’s grace, what do you need to start doing?

Having the ability to “fill in the blank” of change to create the life you want is a gift! Ask God for the wisdom to know what to fill in the blank with each and every morning.

No matter your current life circumstances, and no matter how hard life is today, unwrap the gift that life truly is starting TODAY…It’s worth it!

Gratitude & blessings,

Kim
