Do you trust God? Do you receive His gifts? We build trust. We choose to believe, have faith, before we have the evidence of what we hope for. (Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.) I was talking with a friend recently about how I …

Life Is Not Easy and That Is Okay
Life is challenging. We are students of life. We have never done this before. We are figuring it out as we go. We are always in the process of becoming. This should cause us to be kind to ourselves as we navigate and move through life. Most of us think we should be further along, …
Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39) Do you love yourself? If you do not love yourself then you are not going to be able to love your neighbor very well. I admit that I did not like or love myself for the longest time. I did not feel worthy of love because …
What Story Are You Telling?
We are each telling ourselves a story about our own worth. Usually, it is a negative story that we are not good enough, that we are not smart enough, not skinny enough, not strong enough, not accomplished enough, etc. Or we tell ourselves we have made too many mistakes, messed up too much, that we …

Are You Tired of Worrying?
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Luke 12:25, 31 God keeps gently reminding me to TRUST Him more. TRUST in all things. In all circumstances and situations. He is reminding me in my soul as I am …
Be PROUD of YOU!
Be PROUD of YOU! Look for and pay attention to all the things you do, all the things you accomplish, all the things you help with, all the things you get right, how you show up each day and serve your family and your work, how you take care of yourself and others! YOU ARE …
What transformation looked like for me.
Most of my life I felt unlovable and unworthy of love. A few years ago, I read all Brené Brown’s books. I learned through her work that the difference between the people who lived wholeheartedly and those who didn’t was that they believed they were worthy of love and belonging. I decided I wanted to …
