How to keep going when you feel like giving up

"I’m still doing what I’m doing by the grace of God.”

Fostering isn’t easy. It’s beautiful and redemptive — but it’s also stretching, exhausting, and sometimes it just plain hurts.

One of the women said it best: “It doesn’t feel rewarding right now. And you can’t rely on it feeling rewarding to keep going. I rely on God — and God alone — to keep going.”

That’s the kind of faith that meets real life.

• When the feelings fade.

• When the days are heavy.

• When love costs something.

  
  

It’s grace that keeps you showing up again.

Grace that fills the gaps when you feel empty.

Grace that reminds you that obedience is the reward — even when you can’t see the fruit yet.

If you’ve ever been in a season that didn’t feel rewarding, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone… and that God’s grace really is enough.

 Listen to the full story on this week’s Rooted & Rising episode — a raw, honest look at fostering, faith, and what it means to keep going when it’s hard.
