Phoebe Grace, Overcoming Pain Coach

First week of January 2026…

Tearing down Christmas decor at work with my girl.

This would be the last time for this year I would feel healthy, strong, and little to no pain on a daily/weekly basis.

Soon after, my needing to be in bed everyday for extended periods of time for about a month would begin…

And then after that month, even when I would regain some strength and improve on some symptoms, there would be continued unexpected and unpredictable rhythms of flareups.

No reasonable explanation…

No big thing that suddenly happened before to trigger…

Just left with surrendering to riding the wave of this season again that was distantly familiar from over a decade ago.

But past, present and future…

Regardless of what symptoms say…

Regardless of what I can or can’t do…

I am a daughter of the King.

Identify - sealed, secure and sure.

And I want her to see that.

Believe that.

And live it out everyday.

And the same is true for my sisters here too.

Much reflection.

Remembering often.

Relearning what was revealed.

Releasing things needing to be unlearned.

Rewiring to align more and more.

This month, as I reflect on 40 years on this Earth, I am so so thankful for the goodness, faithfulness, patience, graciousness, generosity and love of God that is often displayed through the people around me.

My hubby and a handful of my best friends threw me a surprise birthday party last night…and seeing my family and friends there, even virtually from around the world…🥹😭

Though my body is still recovering from the last 2 days, my heart is so so full.

Deep grace.

Deeply grateful.

This week, what does Love say?

Does one speak louder for you?

Does something else come up?

Share the Love below ⬇️ 💜

And there have been MANY more gaps this year…
In me…
Around me…

And yet, even more growth…
More releasing…
More healing…
More Jesus. 💜

All loss has been gain.

He knows.
He sees you.
He empathizes.
He sympathizes.
More than you know…

You are not alone.
He is with you.
The suffering…
This struggle…
It’s holy ground.

The last 3 months have been a journey, as health flared up in ways it hasn’t since 2009.

Journey of suffering.

Journey of wondering.

Journey of fearing.

With a gratitude, I’ve begun to turn a corner in my heart to a divine acceptance.

It’s still a journey not for public spaces like this (…yet), but felt such a peace and joy as I was sharing it with a friend and sister today.

Suffering really does produce…

And we can try our hardest to do all the right things to produce good fruit, but it really is the Lord that produces the ultimate best fruit from it.

Anything worth doing and going through challenges will not only be hard, but it will also be F R E E I N G.

What is the current hard thing that’s challenging to go through right now?

Keep pressing into God and pushing through.

It’s not only worth it; it’s also freeing!

Feeling lighter and liberated is on the horizon!

Making room for new things requires other things to be released or restructured.

While some good things remain the same, there is always room for new things that cultivate growth.

Taking the next week to reflect.

What are some things that will remain the same, need structuring or need to be released completely?

They reveal what we love…
Maybe some things we’ve taken for granted.

They reveal what we yearn for…
And the things we are content with.

They reveal the things we see…
And the things we have trouble seeing.

They reveal idols.
What we worship.

Sometimes it’s the surface stuff.
Or subconscious.
And if we allow ourselves the sacred space to sit with grief and gratitude for long enough, maybe even the deep, hidden things that are buried- whether by choice or by circumstance - begin to rise to the surface, ready to be seen, heard, held, maybe even released and redeemed.

And that’s where we find deep, steadfast love,
In the heartwarming moments,
and the heartbreaking ones.

Love meets us…in all circumstances.

Reflecting on this last month, a rare August that felt like December & Maycember,

Thankful for His grace, strength, steadfastness, faithfulness, goodness and power.

What ways did you see God move or hear Him speak this last month?
