Push Pause is a tiny snippet posted every Tuesday. It is an invitation for you to push pause on the tasks at hand and intentionally take a moment to reflect on your soul journey.
Cry. Grieve. Let it All Out.
There is something you need to cry about.
There is loss in your life you need to give attention to. I know it’s easier to let the day go by and get busy. I know it’s far more appropriate and Christian to count your blessings. But ignoring the losses will only end up hurting you.
Maybe it’s a dream never realized, a marriage gone bad, a mother who never hugged or a church community who never includes you.
Maybe it’s a promotion never granted, a spouse who never understands you, your voice never validated or a risk never taken.
Maybe it’s a friendship gone sour, a womb never filled, permission never asked, or a loved one taken too soon.
Whatever it is…
It’s time to grieve.
Time to cry and just let it all out.
Believe me, friend– when you can name the loss that is deep within you and shed tears over it…hope and healing bloom.
Grieving with you.
Let’s meet again on Thursday to go deeper in the journey…together. ~L

Share your loss and let the tears flow. I read and respond to all your comments. Thank you for sharing your soul journey.

Grief denied is grief unhealed…your precious tears are the words with which you tell God of your pain……cry my dear Laura…..and let your tears flow……I share them with you……my love……Uncle Gene
I love what you said Uncle Gene. “grief denied is grief unhealed” It’s so true.
Thank you for always sharing your heart.
You are loved.
God, in His grace, allows the grief of an empty womb to sweep through me in waves. Grace toward me, as I would be overcome with an inward life should I step into the groaning. Grace through me as with every wave I release my heart more fully to love.
Your words and your heart–so beautiful.
I cherish the journey you are on.
Grace.
An excellent reason to push pause, getting real, removing the mask, unraveling….then allowing the healing of deep hurts. Something I try to do, but some hurts are so deep they feel better buried…even though I know that type of stuffing never works out for the best. Thank you Laura. Thank you for keeping it real.
I know the feeling. I used to think if I kept “it” buried it wouldn’t have power over me. But it does. And my heart eventually became morphed into a hardened wall. There is more than just the hurt–there is a great loss mixed up in it all. Still on the journey.
Thank you Laura. I know when I had the courage to finally, name my hurt, and to admit it to God himself, that then the healing began. Even when I didn’t understand and sometimes I still don’t. But it doesn’t matter anymore, because he does, and carries it for me. He is the God that does not disappoint.

Courage to name the hurt is huge. I’m learning this in my own journey. And yes, God carries us and never disappoints. Thank you for reminding me of that.
Deep breath…My spirit cries, “Yes!!!” You said, “I know it’s far more appropriate and Christian to count your blessings. But ignoring the losses will only end up hurting you.” We have to change the current culture so that it invites the freedom to be real, the freedom to express a messy broken hallelujah, the freedom to go deeper no matter what that looks like, that to me is genuinely “Christian.” Thank you Laura!

Yes Christine, Perfectly said. Thanks for the encouragement.
