Author: Christa Hagel

Hi, I’m Christa — a devotional writer, encourager at heart, and believer in the quiet strength God gives us when we’re worn out and wondering if it’s all worth it. I live in Caledonia, Michigan with my husband, a lively crew of pets, and a deep desire to walk alongside others in their faith journey. I'm a mom of four grown children and recently became a grandma — a title I cherish. After years of juggling work, family, and ministry, I found myself clinging to one verse: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). That verse became a lifeline — and eventually, the heartbeat of my first devotional. Through Do Not Grow Weary, I hope to offer simple, scripture-rooted encouragement for those who are tired, discouraged, or just trying to keep going. Whether you’re walking through a hard season or just need a reminder that your faithfulness matters, this space is for you. Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here.
