Keep Going

For all of us in this season.
I want you to know that no matter how heavy you feel right now, your feelings are always valid.
It is not easy to tell yourself that everything will be okay when you feel so hopeless, but I pray you always try to make yourself feel better no matter what life is throwing at you.
I pray your scars begin to heal.
I pray that you never get tired of picking yourself up every time you fall.
Life is all about experience but that only kicks in when we don’t listen to those who have walked before us.
You have to remain focused in a world of chaos.
I pray that the universe will be more accommodating to us especially on the days we dislike ourselves.
Life give us rewards and consequences with our choices therefore, let us be mindful of our actions.
Whatever you do keep going.
If you stop now those younger than you will pass you by.
Find your strength in He that placed the sand on the earth. #Countree -
Grace Behind the Smile
They see the glow.
They see the compiled pieces, the structure, the smile that meets them at the door.
They whisper, “Must be nice to have it all together.”
Let them think it.
Because the reality is between me and the altar.
I’m going to look the part.
You won’t catch me dragging my feet in the dirt just because the road got rocky.
Not when grace has been my pillow.
Not when mercy has been my blanket.
God has been too good, too faithful, too deliberate with my steps for me to walk around looking defeated.
The exterior matches the victory, even when the process is still working itself out. #grace #taleshasandidge #chattingwithcountree #Godis #aftercancer

Grateful Anyway

Grateful Anyway
~ Talesha SandidgeSome days feel like a dream,
like I’m standing in the rain waiting for a rainbow to break through.Life has handed me gifts I never saw coming
and battles I never would have chosen.I’ve learned that blessings aren’t always wrapped in pretty paper.
Sometimes they are disguised as heartbreak, lessons, tears, strength, or survival.These days, I find myself thankful for the things others might overlook.
A butterfly in my path.
A rainbow during the storm.
A text from that one friend.
A small breath.
Another chance.Life will always bring rewards and consequences, joy and heartbreak.
But through every season, God’s love remains.And when all is said and done,
that’s the promise I hold on to.The butterfly still flies.
The rainbow still appears.
And grace still finds me.

Who are you?
I look in your eyes
and I see the hurt and pain, yet on the outside
you stand strong in the rain.
But what happens
when the crowd no longer cheers?
When your body aches and you’re battling fears?
Where will you go?
Who will you turn to?
When everything falls away, who are you?
Not the applause.
Not the title.
Not what others see.
But the person who keeps standing
when life brings you to your knees. Written by Talesha

Finding strength in faith during overwhelming times
Some days jump off with a heaviness that settles in long before it’s time to get up. today was that day starting at 4 this morning and it feels like one thing after another.
The weight is real. The exhaustion is real. The temptation to shut down, walk away, and go home is real.
And yet, in the middle of it all, I keep finding myself asking one question:
What would Jesus do?
Not because I got all the answers. Not because I’m handling everything well.
But because when life feels overwhelming, I need something stronger than my emotions to lead me.
There are moments when I wonder if I should fight the weight or just sit with it.
Should I push through, or should I step back and breathe?
What I’m learning is that God never asks us to pretend the burden not there.
He only asks us to bring it to Him.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
This spiritual journey can be a lonely one. No one understands where you are and what you’ve endured.
Isolation is real.
Sometimes the path that brings us closer to God also separates us from things, people, and habits we once had.
Yet even in those lonely places, God reminds us that we are never abandoned.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
It hurts.
If I’m honest, I feel crushed. Tired. Worn thin. And maybe some of you do too.
Maybe you carrying ish no one sees.
Maybe you fighting battles no one knows about.
Maybe you too are smiling on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.
If so, know this:
You don’t have to be strong every moment.
You don’t have to have every answer.
You don’t have to carry burden (s) by yourself.
God is not waiting for a polished version of you.
He is present with you in the weary version, the tearful version, the exhausted version.
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
So today, I don’t know what the next hour looks like but I’m trying.
I’m choosing not to feed this weight, the frustration, or the discouragement. Troubles on every side.
I’m choosing to feed my faith. Not because my circumstances have changed, but because God has not changed. Still the same. Yesterday, Today and forever more.
And if all I can do today is take one more step, whisper one more prayer, and trust God with the next moment, then that will be enough.
Writing is my outlet. Thanks for being a reader! I needed this. Talesha Sandidge

Today
What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?
For a long time, I carried the weight of the unknown, constantly trying to prepare for every possible ‘what if. Realizing that tomorrow isn’t promised and that God has already planned for it changed the way I move through life. I stopped stressing over what’s next and started seeking Him in what’s now.

Surviving while dying 😔
When you’ve survived chaos for so long, peace can feel like an unfamiliar room. You end up pouring your heart into hands that misuse it because struggle feels normal, while building walls against genuine people because safety feels scary. Not normal.
Healing means unlearning that survival mode, but only if you are willing to sacrifice yourself. Stop pouring into those who drain you, and allow yourself to be loved by people who bring rest, who will clap with you, because real love doesn’t make you fight for your worth, it gives you a place to lay your cape down. How long will you wear your mask? #HealingJourney #PeaceOverChaos #GuardYourHeart #SelfWorth #UnlearnAndRelearn #ChooseYourPeace #ProtectYourEnergy #SafeLove #MentalHealthAwareness #EmotionalHealing #BreakingPatterns #KnowYourValue #InnerPeace #taleshasandidge #chattingwithcountree

Choices 🦋💕
If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?
Every day, we stand at a crossroads. We can go right or you can go left. We always have destiny, but you also have to live with where that direction takes us.
Taking the wrong road might seem easier or faster in that moment, but the detours cost you heavy time. Doing wrong always takes twice as long to get out of than it did to get into.
Making the right choice isn’t always easy, but it builds a foundation nobody can take away from us. We hold the keys. Choose wisely, because every choice is creating our future.

Love Love
Beauty might light the spark, but it’s the soul that keeps the fire burning.
When you fall in love with someone’s character their quiet kindness, integrity, and the graceful way they hold your world time stops being an enemy and becomes a gift.
Wrinkles will eventually frame their eyes, and youth will softly slip away, but ab authentic heart only grows richer with the years.
To love a soul is to love the way they show up in the quiet moments, the softness in their voice when you’re breaking, the shared values that anchor you through life’s storms, and the grace with which they move through the world.
Looks may draw two strangers into the same room, but it is the warmth of the soul that turns a temporary space into a lifelong home.
When you love who someone is at their core, every passing year doesn’t fade the magic it deepens it.
You aren’t just holding a hand you’re holding a sanctuary.
Don’t give up on love. Be patient and do a work in you. #taleshasandidge #chattingwithcountreepodcast #chattingwithcountree #love #dontgiveup #loveneverfails

Positions of Power
Some parts of life will never be fair.
There are far too few good hearted people left and I do mean a few.
You don’t sit in positions of power to do nothing with it.
If it weren’t for the boots on the ground, you know the people doing the real work, the people at the top wouldn’t even exist.
Do better with them. They matter.
My eyes are wide open.
I see you.
And if you’ve ever had to work hard for something and put away who you are to appease others, then you feel me.
And if you think for second am I talking about you then yes I am.
Stop taking people for granted!!!!!
