Courtney I was listening to you since we were both homeschooling our kids and you were in your first marriage. And to see that you are still standing in His grace is just amazing. God is the restorer of what we have lost. Also, I love when you shared how you are still living in God's "Plan A". Keep doing what you are doing sista!
Courtney, thank you for being so honest and sharing your struggles. We all benefit from it! I'm fighting the dark right now for sure. In December my husband and 14 year old daughter (my youngest) were killed in a car accident. It was a freak thing. He picked her up from work and 1 mile later they were dead. I went from having 4 kids and a husband to being a single mom of 3. It was so sudden and traumatic in so many ways I can't go in to all of them. Needless to say these last 6 months have been such a struggle. If it was only the deaths I had to deal with! So many other things have gone wrong. It's definitely my "Job trial" - he didn't just have his kids die, he dealt with so many other trials along with it. I'm trying to focus on the light. My new identity going forward, the fact that I'm not "alone" but that God is even more of a focus in my life, my new smaller family dynamic. My original expectation with 4 kids was that our Christian homeschooling family would be growing. Kids would be getting married and starting their families. I don't even know what to think anymore. And yes! I hate having to check the "widow" box!! It's happened a few times and I always feel mad about it lol. I can relate to your "divorced" box checking angst also. One day at a time...
I am so deeply sorry for what you are going through. It is hard. my Dad was killed almost a year ago, I know not the same, however, I understand a lot of the pain that comes with it. Praying for you and your precious family❤️
May the Lord bless you in unexpected ways today and beyond. May your children find comfort and encouragement from the Holy Spirit. My heart aches for you...
OH my goodness. This is so tragic. I am so very sorry for your loss. 😞 I cannot even imagine. And yes one day at a time. God is with you and he loves you so much. I love your focus and strength. Keep on going and keep trusting in the Lord. 🙏 🙌♥
Courtney, God has used you to encourage my walk with Him since 2012. I did a random TH-cam search for “Proverbs 31 Woman” and your video/study was the first that I saw. It’s been no turning back since.🙂 Every video I have watched and rewatched. Allowing people to watch your life unfold I’m sure is SO intimidating, but at the same time it brings such a POWERFUL witness to how God can help someone to Still Stand after going through such trial. Thank you for your encouragement, bravery, and boldness to “Keep Walking With the King!” -Em
I left my abusive marriage in April due to DV and infidelity. I left my home in the morning with the kids and never went back home. I really do feel like I don't know myself. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. Sometimes I feel bad that I filed for divorce. The judge granted a 3 yr restraining order. Thank you for this video. I'm trying to get un stuck..
Oh goodness this is so hard. What strength you must have. I am so glad you made it out safely. You are doing great - keep on going. God is with you and in time he will show you the way and the new path for your life but it takes time. Everything is beautiful in HIS time. I know it feels messy and hard but don't let that get you down. Sometimes the best things in life come from doing hard things. God is with you and he loves you so much. 💕 🙏 💕
@CourtneyWomenLivingWell thank you so much for your kindness. I'm so glad God is protecting us. I'm learning how to be myself again but you are right it does take time and it is on God's timing. I am okay with that because God knows what is best for me. Thank you for your videos I'm so glad I seen it at the right time! ❤️🙏🏼
This was very encouraging, I am going through the same situation right now. I feel stuck, numb and not sure how to move forward. I feel like a failure, and I dont know how to handle this. I have 5 young children, and I have so many questions. Your book is really helping me, thank you for writing this.
Oh no - I'm so sorry you are going through this and with 5 young children. It is awful and so very hard but you will get through. Keep on going. Remember on the hardest of days that you are not alone. The enemy will lie to you and want.you to believe God does not care- but he does! He is for you and loves you so much. 💕 ❤ 🙏
I am going to read the book, it may help me. Grieving since my heart was broken when my husband passed away after forty years together. Was good marriage
thank you for sharing

Aww - thank you so much for encouraging me! This means so much. God is so faithful and good through all the years! Even the hard ones! 🙌 🌷 💕
