33. When Trauma Tells You It's the End

Have you ever had a moment where you thought… "I don’t think I can do this anymore?” Not the kind of tired a nap fixes... but the kind of exhaustion that settles deep in your soul. What if what feels like the end… is actually where God begins again? In today’s episode, Norma shares a deeply personal story about a moment when she thought her life was ending—and how God stepped in and changed the ending. Through the story of the widow of Zarephath in Scripture, we learn how God meets us in our lowest moments, interrupts despair, and provides exactly what we need… one day at a time. Friend, if your heart feels heavy today, this episode will remind you: ✨ Your story is not over.   📖 Biblical Foundation 1 Kings 17 – The Widow of Zarephath A woman preparing her final meal… A jar that never runs dry… A God who provides in the middle of lack.   ✍🏽 Journal Prompt Where in your life do you feel like your “jar is empty” right now? Be honest with God about: What feels heavy What feels uncertain What feels like it’s running out 🙏 Faith Rooted Step Instead of trying to figure out the whole future… Ask God for today’s strength.
