Katie, I love how beautifully you write about hard moments of life and how they make you stronger. As I lay in bed recovering from hernia surgery, I am reminded that this is a moment in time and it will feel better. Allowing myself to truly rest and heal is a tall order for someone that goes 100mph every single day. I keep thinking to myself, just let your body and mind rest and know that it won't always feel this way. Thank you for sharing the hard parts of your story, it helps me feel less alone with the hard parts of my story.
Wow! This cut to my heart in more than one way. Thank you for expressing these realities so well. My heart needed to hear this. And yes, ALL of it by God’s glorious grace! He is faithful!
Very much enjoyed these words this morning Katie. I always need the reminder to speak truth to myself more than to listen to my fickle emotions. Proud of you and proud of the work you're putting in to your faith, your health, your marriage, your family... all the things 💕
I can't tell you how much I love this. Love you Katie. As always, thank you for sharing your work (the inner and outer, the seen and unseen) with us. xoxo
“almost everything the doctors and therapists told me about my knee has also been true for my heart.” Katie, this was such a great read. As someone who also experienced knee injuries and surgeries as an athlete and has also been doing a lot of hard emotional work this year, I really felt this deep.
reading this a year later, knowing what you’ve walked through since means i’m reading this in a different way than perhaps i would have last august, but it is still beautiful. also, i will be taking with me this reminder—“feelings are indicators, but not dictators.”

Katie, these words are meeting me in such a powerful way today. Thanking the Lord for this encouragement to keep moving.
So beautiful, Katie. Love how you wove this story together. "Together, we keep moving."
Thank you friend ❤️
What a beautifully articulated comparison!
This met me right when I needed to hear it! Thanks for being such a determined example to not let the scar tissue win.
Katie, this piece brought me to tears. So, so profound and beautiful.
