Redefining Progress: The Hidden Value in Life’s Unexpected Impermanence

Everyone needs to hear this and know this. And I mean EVERYONE. I believe we already know it, but we’ve become so disconnected from ourselves we no longer believe what the God in us teaches us. It’s the still, deep knowing. Rather than bemoan the season of rest, akin to the leaves falling off the trees, we must instead appreciate the season we’re in and embrace the importance of and recognize these periods of stability as opportunities for reflection, adjustment, and preparation for continued progress.

Savoring Life: A Journey of Mindfulness, Self-Discovery, and True Unconditional Love

And the single most important connection I have in the world is the connection I have with myself. God loves me. I love me. I love others like I love me. If I don’t love me well, I can’t love others well, either. So I spent years learning to love myself well. To care for myself. To be patient, kind, protecting, trusting, hoping and to persevere. After all, that is the very definition of love in Corinthians.

Navigating Transition: A Personal Journey of Success and Growth in 2023

Before we look ahead to the new year, we ought to spend time celebrating all of our accomplishments from this year. Before we move forward, how about we spend some time relishing our accomplishments and successes from this year?! Like, duh! Yes, of course!

Praying Against Evil: Seeking Divine Protection in a Troubled World

Let me be so incredibly clear: simply put, some people are evil and wicked. Some people lie, cheat and steal (and don’t let them be the trifecta doing all three!) to get whatever the hell they want and they don’t care about anybody else’s feelings but their own. Actually, they don’t even care about their own feelings! They care about what the want. What they get. Feelings?! What are those?!?!

Reclaim Your Life: Overcoming Addiction, Cultivating Self-Worth, and Thriving

The strength to overcome your challenges lies within you– not without you! By daring to do one thing differently or to ask for the support you want or need to overcome your addiction, you open the door to the life and future you want. The present you desire.

The Raw Truth of Alcohol Withdrawal: A Detox Nurse’s Perspective

Unaddressed wounds don’t heal. If I cut my arm severely but don’t acknowledge it, it won’t heal, it’s get worse! And healing hurts. After I notice the wound, I have to clean it so it doesn’t get infected and it stings. Whether I apply pressure to stop the bleeding or clean it with alcohol, it’s gonna hurt. But the hurt doesn’t last forever. It’s temporary.

From Self Doubt to Divine Truth: A Letter Across Time

For people who play too small, you will always be too much. Too sensitive. Too smart. Too bold. Too courageous. Too much of everything they think they aren’t, but simply don’t know they are. And it’s not your problem to correct. It’s not your concern. Your only concern is God. And in him, you are. You’re only concern is you. Not selfishly, but lovingly. Love your neighbors as yourself. Patiently and kindly.

Just Because They Did Doesn’t Mean You Have To, Too

Just because they hurt you doesn’t mean you need to hurt yourself, too. Just because their love hurt doesn’t mean you need to hurt yourself in the name of love, too. That isn’t love. It’s “love”. It’s struggle love. Hurt love. Harmful love. It’s love from someone who didn’t learn how to truly love themselves, but it’s the love they know to give.
