A few years ago, around Valentine’s Day, I got angry, frustrated, and sad by the use of the word love. It felt to me like people used the word love for everything. People say they love their car, they love a type of food, they love a video game, and so on and so forth. …

Show Up in LOVE.
What keeps us from showing up in love? We want the other person to apologize. We want them to make the first move. We want to be right. When we hold onto “whatever it is,” who are we really hurting? We think we are punishing the other person or holding the other person “accountable” but …
Love is a choice.
We choose to love! When we choose to show up in love, we get to feel love. We feel whatever we choose. When we choose to show up with something other than love like anger who feels the anger? We do. We think that is we withhold love till the other person gets their act …

We must come to know the love God has for us! Learn to trust His Love, rest in His Love, find our security, confidence, and value in His Love! Our worth and value are in Jesus Christ who love us completely. Not in what other people say about us or expect of us or in …

I believe that we as a people havebeen living with a false sense of security in our own control over things andlast year heightened everyone's awareness that we actually don't havecontrol …
Emotional Adulthood.
Our goal is emotional adulthood. We are trained in emotional childhood. Aschildren we were dependent on others to meet our needs. This dependencytrains us to believe that we are responsible for other people's feelings andthey are responsible for our feelings. We are taught to believe that how wefeel depends on how other people treat us, …
Thankful.
I love it when/how God gives you what you need when you need it. A word, encouragement, understanding, support, a sense of normalcy, through a book, a podcast, a sermon, a song, a friend, or sometimes even a stranger. I've even heard God speak to me through a tv show once. I think God is always …
