In this heartfelt episode of Blissful Chaos, Crystal shares the powerful story behind The Woman in the Hallway, a devotional book she is currently writing about quiet service, compassion, and loving others in the places nobody sees.

Years ago, after a tragic loss, Crystal’s mom stood in a grieving friend’s hallway holding a laundry basket. When asked what she was doing, she simply said, “I’m washing your laundry.” That quiet act became a lasting picture of what it means to bear one another’s burdens and serve like Christ.

This episode is a reminder that serving others does not always look big, expensive, or public. Sometimes it looks like laundry, dishes, meals, errands, sitting with someone, or simply noticing a need and stepping in.

n this episode of Blissful Chaos, Crystal gets honest about almost not posting, feeling discouraged, and being tempted to quit. From there, she opens up a real conversation about temptation and the everyday ways it can pull our hearts away from God.

This episode walks through 11 common temptations, including quitting, comparison, anger, believing lies, isolation, offense, comfort over obedience, gossip, bitterness, people-pleasing, and worrying instead of praying.

Based on 1 Corinthians 10:13, this episode is a reminder that temptation does not mean we do not love God. It means we need to recognize what is pulling at our hearts and take it to Him.

Temptation may be real, but God is faithful, and with Him, there is always a way out.

Have you ever said, “I’m fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine,” while knowing deep down you were not fine at all? In this episode of Blissful Chaos, Crystal Abel talks honestly about burnout, weariness, people pleasing, overcommitting, and what happens when we keep pouring out without being poured into. Through Galatians 6:9, this episode reminds women that weariness is real, but it is not their identity. If you have been emotionally drained, spiritually dry, or tired of carrying too much for too long, this conversation will encourage you to admit it, name it, figure out why, bring it to God, let something go, rest on purpose, and return to the presence of Jesus. You may be weary, but you are not forgotten. There is still a harvest coming.
