Forgiveness is both a decision and a process, and healing is a long journey, sweet friend.
When you get triggered, it does not mean your decision to forgive was fake. It just means there’s more to be done.
#ForgivingWhatYouCantForget
The thought processes and actions of a narcissist just completely floor me. I will never fully understand how they cause themselves pain and then blame everyone else for it. 🤔🤷🏼♀️
Instead of giving up because we feel like we still have so far to go, we can celebrate the small victories!
Big things are built one brick at a time.
Victories are achieved one choice at a time.
A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.
There's purpose in every season — even seasons of darkness. But we must choose... Will we see dark times as a womb or a tomb? Is it a birth of something new or the death of what we thought should be? Will we fix our eyes God's goodness or give in to hopelessness and despair?
I know how hard it can be to wait on God when you want to move forward and you’re seeking His guidance.
But while you wait on His answer, don't lose confidence in His goodness. Be strong. Be patient. Cling to His Word. And keep trusting in His unfailing love.
Lord, we confess that all too often we are guilty of making our own plans and then asking You to bless them. We forget that we need to seek You first because Your plans are perfect and You care deeply for us. Remind us it is You alone we need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I want to encourage you today to keep moving forward in your God-given purpose! Be determined not to become consumed with your present circumstance that you end up losing sight of the finish line. The fight is worth it in the end!
We never feel more hopeless in a tough situation than when we run out of ideas to give God for how to fix it. He doesn’t want suggestions. He wants our full attention. What obstacle is a human impasse to the One who can pave a dry road in a sea and shoot a geyser from solid rock?
When a Jesus girl rises up and unexpectedly gives grace when she surely could have done otherwise? She reveals the power and the mystery of Christ at work - in her life and in the world.
Let’s be rare.
Let’s give grace.
Let’s reflect the light and love of Christ.
Hello, New Year.
Hello, fresh mercies.
Hello, unending grace.
And thank You, Lord, for waking us up to another year filled with Your unfailing love.
Happy New Year, sweet friends!
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9
A good reminder for when I’m tempted to try to figure out everything on my own.
A prayer of trust and surrender for any heart that is hurting tonight:
Lord, these devastating circumstances have left me so weary. But the truth of Your love leaves me hopeful. I’m trusting in Your plans for me and I’m lifting up these words to You — not my will, but Yours.
