    Faith in the Transition: Finding Purpose When Life Changes Direction

    Send us a text Life doesn’t always go according to plan—and transitions can leave us feeling uncertain, restless, or even fearful. In this episode, I am sharing what I've went through last few month and here is exercise to help you move through difficult transitions with more peace, clarity, and confidence.  “Surrender & Steward” Journaling Exercise Focus: Letting go of control and embracing trust in God’s plan. Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 How to Practice: Write down what transition you’re currently facing and what feels uncertain.Draw two columns: “God’s Part” and “My Part.”List what belongs in God’s control (timing, outcomes, other people’s choices) and what you can steward (your actions, prayers, preparation, and faith).Faith Solution: When you visually see what belongs to God, anxiety lessens. Steward what’s in your control with excellence, and surrender the rest in prayer daily. 🕊️ Prayer: “Lord, I release my desire to control the outcome. Help me to be faithful with what You’ve placed in my hands and to trust You with what I cannot see.”  Remember you are loved so grace over judgement.  If you’re in a season of change—career, relationships, health, moving or calling—this conversation will remind you that God is not done with your story. Every transition can become a transformation when you walk it out with faith. Listen and be reminded: You’re not lost—you’re being led. Enjoyed this episode? We’d love to hear from you!

    Fight or Flight or Faith #ChatwithLena

    Send us a text New episode of Love&BLoved Podcast! #ChatwithLena series when I share spontaneous revelations and confessing them to you. My passion comes from my own journey—surviving human trafficking, addiction, PTSD, and trauma AND finding healing through faith in Christ. I know firsthand that transformation is possible, and that joy, love, peace, purpose, and passion CAN be restored after trauma. The road to healing long but so worth it. But there always will be moments like this one. tell me what do you think and what do you do after mistake? This situations are inevitable no matter how mature in Christ you are no matter race or age, we are all in the same both... humans, and our trauma, mental, physical, and emotional, and spiritual health when not healed will manifest in default modes and negative behaviour. But there is hope!!! You are loved and don't have to be perfect. God is wonderful counsellor and will lead you and guide you and walk beside you. I know this because He did this for me.  Matthew 11:28-30 New International Version “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Here is a meaning of word "yoke" just in case you think about an egg.  Literal Meaning:  A wooden bar or frame, known as a yoke, is used to join draft animals like oxen for pulling and working together because it distributes the weight evenly between the animals, making it easier for them to pull heavy loads and work as a unit.  In the Bible, "yoke" metaphorically represents bondage, oppression, or the weight of a task or obligation, often used in the context of submission to authority, particularly in the context of religious or spiritual freedom.  So that's what Jesus did for me .He partnered up with me to carry a heavy load of my trauma, grief and everyday struggles to give me peace and freedom. He did this for me He will do it for you!  Enjoyed this episode? We’d love to hear from you! Share your biggest “aha” moment in the comments below—we can’t wait to read them!
