When You Need an Aaron and Hur: My Final Post of the Year

Hey Friend, I'm glad you're here

As this year comes to a close, a lot has come to light for me. I’ve noticed growth in ways I never expected. I’ve seen moments of beauty for ashes, and I’ve also walked through moments that felt unbearable. There were days I felt completely out of sync, unsure of what to do next, carrying a sadness I couldn’t explain.

Looking back, I can admit that some of the trials I faced this year were harder than I realized at the time. I wasn’t always handling them well. But God has a way of showing up right when we need Him, with the right support, the right people, and the right answers. A while ago, when my sister became sick, I told my younger sister that we needed to be like Aaron and Hur for Moses. She was in a place where she couldn’t advocate for herself. She couldn’t lift her arms in praise or worship, and she needed people to stand in the gap for her. That story in the Bible has always stayed with me. It shows the power of having the right people around you when you cannot hold yourself up. There was a moment when I asked my husband, who is my Aaron and Hur. I am often that person for others, but who holds me up when I am tired. My husband has always been my person. My family has always been my people. My children pray for me without hesitation, no matter what they have going on. I am deeply grateful for that. Still, I realized I was missing another layer of support. As the last few weeks of the year unfolded, the grief I thought I had worked through began to surface again. I missed my mom. I missed my sister. I found myself mourning the pregnancy in a way I did not even realize I had been carrying. It surprised me how heavy it felt.

The day before church, I stood in the shower praying and crying out to the Lord. I told Him I needed deliverance because the weight was becoming too much. When I went to church, I went up for prayer and could barely get the words out. I just cried. As I was leaving, one of the ministers stopped me and prayed for me. What started as prayer turned into deliverance from the grief that had been resting heavily on my heart. When it was over, I felt lighter. The weight had lifted. I felt relief that only God can give.

In that moment, the Lord showed me something clearly. My church family is another extension of His love for me. They are part of my Aaron and Hur. I have so many people holding my arms up, praying when I cannot pray, standing in faith when I feel weak. I did not even realize how many I had until God opened my eyes. The Bible tells us that when Moses’ arms grew tired, Aaron and Hur stood on each side and held them up, and as long as his hands were raised, victory followed. “When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on one side, one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.”Exodus 17:12 NIV I want to encourage you today. Whatever you are going through, do not fight it alone. Pray. Ask the Lord for help. Ask Him to send the people you need to walk with you through this season. If you do not have a church home, ask God to lead you to one that will support you, cover you, and grow with you. The Bible reminds us that we are not meant to walk alone. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”Matthew 18:20 NIV. As we close out 2025 and prepare to step into 2026, I pray that everything you have lost, every trial you have faced, and every tear you have shed will become the water for the harvest that is coming. God sees you. He is with you. And He is faithful to finish what He started.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.- Galatians 6:2 NIV

With love and gratitude, always
