I Can't Do This, But God Can

Being a Christian woman, it sometimes feels like we should not struggle. When God has blessed us with beautiful kids, it feels awful to experience postpartum depression and question whether you were meant to be a mom. The guilt associated with such feelings, combined with regular stressors and watching others who seem to be handling everything better, really adds insult to injury. It is not a topic that is readily talked about, which can really leave one feeling completely alone! Sound familiar?

Friend, you are not alone. I have been there, I am there, and I want to talk to you about it! I Can't do This, but God Can seeks to create a safe space to talk about and explore postpartum depression and anxiety, parenting, and living life. While it comes from the perspective of a struggle with postpartum depression, there are lessons that can be gleaned, even if your story is not the same.

You may find yourself in the midst of a storm right now. It is not easy; but praying, talking, and thinking about it has helped me to heal in ways I did not expect. I want to share that with you, my friend!

Grab a pen, open this book, and let's heal together!
