Summary

SummaryI’m Kristen Walker Smith 😌. When pregnancy reignited childhood grief, my trust in God shattered. Terror flooded in, spiralling into severe **OCD**β€”endless hand-washing, isolation, raw bleeding hands. For seven long years I begged God to remove the thorn πŸŒͺ️, yet heard only silence. Then πŸ“– *2 Cor 12:9* leapt off the page: *β€œMy grace is sufficient … my strength is made perfect in weakness.”* Something shiftedβ€”I chose to see my weakness as the doorway to Jesus’ power. God led me to the right therapist 🩺 and, humbly, to medication that opened a precious two-second gap where I could choose faith over compulsion. Today I live joyfully, hands lifted in freedom πŸ™Œ. OCD still knocks, but Christ’s relentless love anchors meβ€”and He can anchor you too! βœοΈπŸ’–
