Most of my life I felt unlovable and unworthy of love. A few years ago, I read all Brené Brown’s books.

Steadfast.
I am currently finishing up the Flourish Devotional and Study Steadfast: Cultivating a Heart Like Mary by Jennifer R Kochert and Mindy Kiker.

Decide to believe and then practice believing until you believe. Believe you are worthy of love. Believe you are loved. Believe you belong wherever you are, doing whatever you’re doing.

A weary world rejoices!
I am not sure if you believe in God or not. Or maybe I should say I am not sure if you trust in God or not because I think lots of people claim to believe in God, but our lives do not reflect trust in God. I have believed in God since I was …

It has been life changing for me to learn that I am the voice in my head. I always thought, “I just think what I think,” and “what I think is true,” and “I can’t help what I think.” Then I learned that I could choose my thoughts. I realized that I was the one …

Do you ever feel like things just went sideways and you are not sure what happened? Are you ever doing something you thought would be fun then someone says something, or something happens, and all of a sudden you or people are upset, and it is not so enjoyable anymore? In these moments I have …
