There are blessings that we can readily say off the top of our head, and then there are things in our life that don’t feel like blessings at all.
What if we started looking at the hard things as gifts? What if these difficult experiences are blessings in disguise?
Come along with us on a 30-day discovery of blessings that we have and didn’t even realize. With prompts for journaling and prayer, your heart will be taken to a new level of gratitude for all that the Lord has done for you.

What I love about my podcast is getting to have conversations with really cool and interesting women.
We talk about God, beauty, and difficult things.
The message is you are not alone in this big, crazy world.
What’s lovely is you can join in the conversation, and together, we stir up good works for God’s Kingdom.
I would be delighted for you to Follow Behold-Her Beauty.
Sweet blessings.
From my heart to yours,
Deborah
Welcome to Behold-her Beauty where we talk about all things Beauty.
Giving a voice to the journey from broken to beloved. 🕊️ Today I am sharing a special episode of Behold-Her Beauty Podcast with author, Sarah Freymuthto discuss her book, All the Hard Things: 50 Days Through the Valley.
Also join the conversation by subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing your thoughts in the comments. We would love it if you would leave a ❤️ to let us know you’re reading and listening!
Sarah is the author of All the Hard Things: 50 Days Through the Valley, a devotional journey shaped by her own experiences of long COVID, anxiety, depression, and the repeated hardships that quietly reshape a life.
In our conversation, she opens up about what it means to find God’s presence not after the hard things—but in the middle of them. Through her story, we talk about what it looks like to anchor identity in Christ when everything else feels uncertain, and how God often speaks through unexpected “trail markers” of hope—like friendships, nature, music, and even the small reminders we almost overlook.
We also talk about beauty, soul care, and what it means to believe God is still good when life feels heavy.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a season where the “valley” feels long or confusing, this conversation will gently meet you there.
Because sometimes hope doesn’t arrive as a rescue from the valley—but as a companion within it.
The episode closes with a beautiful heartfelt prayer from Sarah to guide you through your week.
A Reflection For You
Where in your life do you feel like you are in a “valley” season—and what might God be inviting you to notice right there? I’ll meet you in the comments.
