Let me ask you a serious question. Would you talk to someone else the way you talk to yourself? Self criticism is a form of self hate. You can stop sabotaging your dreams by changing your inner dialogue. Your words have so much value. Let’s use our words for personal growth instead of using them to criticize ourselves. The tongue has the power of life and death… Proverbs 18:21, NIV You were created to fulfill your entire God-given destiny and […]

Read time: Worshiping God Literally Saved My Life When I was in my greatest emotional pain worship saved my life. By shifting my focus from myself to my God, my perspective changed and I was able to thank God despite my circumstances. Each and every person on this earth has been made in God’s image. As a result we are wired to worship the Godhead and seek the presence of God. The Godhead is Father God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. […]

A trigger is a trauma response. It happens when a current experience “triggers” your brain to remember a trauma from the past and then your body responds the same way it did when the original trauma occurred. If you have experienced this then you know how much it sucks!! I personally did not understand triggers (and how much I was experiencing them in my everyday life!) until my counselor was explaining it to me as I was telling her my […]

Psalm 130 gets my heart’s attention as I read it because I can relate to the pain of despair being expressed. I can also attest to God’s faithful answers to each one of my heart’s cries. This is a psalm of redemption. When David began writing he was afflicted in his soul but he ends the psalm with words of redeeming hope. David’s Heart Cry David begins with a heart cry from his soul requesting an answer to his prayer. […]

Most of you know my story so I don’t want to repeat myself too much. But for a quick recap, at 26 years old I was very single (as in never married and no kids) and I humbly asked Jesus to pick out my husband. I had no idea I would still be single at age 38…it was twelve years later and I was STILL SINGLE! While a part of me was super discouraged about my relationship status another part […]
