There’s a saying that you never truly know what someone is going through, and in my experience, that’s been so true. It’s one of the reasons I feel it’s important to talk about pain in this blog—because, in the end, we all experience it. Your story might be different from mine—maybe not as serious or maybe way more serious—but one thing I’ve learned is that we all have our struggles. It’s not always visible to others, but it’s real.

I’m in one of those seasons right now. It’s been a tough one, but full of grace. And I want to be transparent about it. At this point, my wife, Shay, and I are technically homeless. We’re staying with my brother right now, and that part of the journey is tough. I remember when making $2,000 a day was a bad day in our business. That seems so small compared to what we’re facing now.

But no, this is way deeper than money. We found ourselves in a place where my wife, Shay, could barely make it around. The walker was barely helping her. Her blood was dangerously low, and she needed a transfusion. She’s also dealing with perimenopause, and at the time, we were in California pretty much alone, trying to figure things out. And I’m dealing with my own issues—my eyesight is only about 40%, and I’m still doing all the grocery shopping, washing clothes, and keeping the house in order. Man, it’s been tough.

I don’t want to overwhelm you with all the details, but I’ll share this: I grew weary. I don’t know if I ever fully reached the point of giving up, but I was circling around it. It can make you feel hopeless. But here’s the one thing I’ve learned to hold onto: Hope. The scripture says, “Do not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”(Galatians 6:9)

We have to keep going because we have a purpose. And I always remind myself that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. That truth is so powerful. Think about it: we don’t have to be strong. God doesn’t expect us to carry the weight alone. He reminds us not to grow weary, to keep going, to lean on Him, and to put our burdens on Him. That’s how I’m able to keep going, and my hope is that this will help you, too. You have a purpose. You have a mission. You’ve been called to complete it.
