my mom once said “don’t marry because you are in love. marry when you’re emotionally mature and financially stable. love is not enough to build a healthy marriage” and i think y’all need to engrave that into your soul.
Venting to people may satisfy the flesh for a moment, but venting to God nourishes the spirit. One seeks sympathy; the other seeks His presence. One releases emotions; the other releases burdens.
LET THEM
•Be disappointed
•Misunderstand you
•Walk away from you
•Talk about you
•Play games if they choose to
Outcomes belong to God.
Reactions belong to us. @PastorMikeJr
Some people will never understand your evolution because they are committed to an older version of you.
They liked you when you were manageable and struggle when you become intentional.
We exhaust ourselves trying to manage reactions, opinions, loyalty, applause, timing, and understanding. God never asked us to manage people He asked us to manage obedience.
I'm working on becoming a better woman. I don't wanna just look good, I wanna feel good, I want my mind, soul and spirit to be cleansed and pure again. I pray that God continues to remove anything that interferes with my growth and overall well being.
The older I get, the more I appreciate all that my parents did for me flaws and all. Two people chose to pour everything they had into their children, expecting nothing in return. For that, I am forever grateful.
