Maybe 2025 was marked by grief, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or deep exhaustion. Maybe you love God, but you\u2019re tired of waiting- and you can\u2019t yet see the light at the end of the tunnel. In this final episode of the year, Carla offers a gentle, hope-filled reflection on how to step into 2026 without pretending things weren\u2019t hard, and without pressuring yourself to have clarity, goals, or excitement. Rooted in Scripture, this episode provides practical ways to hold hope when circumstances haven\u2019t changed and reminds you that God is still working, even here. You\u2019ll be encouraged to release control, anchor yourself in God\u2019s character, and trust that the story isn\u2019t over yet.
