114 – Heartbroken and Overwhelmed in Your Adoption Journey? Tomorrow Is a Brand New Day

ANCHORS OF ENCOURAGEMENT | Adoption, Adoption Trauma, Adoptive Parents, Anxiety, Journaling Prompts, Biblical Encouragement, Peace of Mind

I’m imagining there is an adoptive parent reading this who is heartbroken and feeling overwhelmed. You can’t think straight. Maybe you’re struggling with your faith. You feel lost, lonely, and afraid. And you’re wondering, how can I ever get past this? I’m here to tell you I’ve been there, and I want you to know tomorrow is a brand new day.

Hi Neighbor,

In this episode of Anchors of Encouragement, I want to share a powerful message of hope and resilience for all those dark days in the adoptive parenting journey.

I’ve had my share of dark days which I first spoke about in Episode 1. But through it all, I never entertained abandoning my faith. Don’t get me wrong, my faith took a hit. When times got tough, I leaned into my faith with passages such as John 6:66-68.

I also relied on the tool my son Jonny learned in residential, journaling. We’ll consider that as I also highlight the impact of a touching song called “Brand New Day” by Lucy Thomas, which beautifully encapsulates the message of hope and encouragement.

Hope and healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor,
Tim

Music - Anton Fauve Lyrics - Roger Ellory

Verse 1...
There are times your heart is broken When the world just tears you down And you lose all sense of reason And your faith just can't be found Verse 2...
When the clouds can get no darker And the wind just blows so cold You can know that there is hope now And you'll feel it in your soul Chorus...
So say a prayer for the lost and lonely Say a prayer for those afraid Let 'em know the dark is lifting And tomorrow is a brand new day
