I understand how hard it is. To look at your past

I understand how hard it is.
To look at your past and the things you’ve done wrong and to not beat yourself up for them.
It’s hard to think about what you want or even how to get there.
You already live with so much regret that it’s consumed you for so long.
You don’t realize life could actually be different, & better because this is what you’ve gotten used to.
So instead, you stay inside of your shell hiding all of the things that make you, you.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
I understand that you may not see it, but you need who you are. & when you decide to one day come out of that shell, the rest of the world will be waiting for you.
Don’t give up on the child within you. Those hopes and dreams are still there waiting for you to achieve them. ❤️ “No one can be you & that is your power”

It all really started when i began to wake up angr

It all really started when i began to wake up angry every day. For no specific reason that could come to mind, i just would wake up on the wrong side of the bed every single day for months. I found myself praying more times for my circumstances to change rather than being thankful for what i had.

Because, to be honest, it could always be so much worse.

Grief just has a way of settling in with us a little too long sometimes. Am i right?

We’ve been raised up in a world that believes things always have to go our way and that it’s not ok to talk about hard things. So we truly believe that. Every one of us has an ego that loves to assume. Most times we listen to it and let it direct us. Yet, our ego doesn’t take us anywhere good. It keeps us obsessing, pretending, and then begins isolating.

Because it believes that life should be perfect the way that we want it to be and ego loves to fixate on that emotion alone.

The struggle is real my friends, but so is God’s grace.
Our ego assumes that it knows whats best for our future. Yet, at the end of the day it has nothing positive to say. And it isn’t leading us anywhere good. This is the exact place where I’ve found grief to live the most often and it becomes really easy to just stay there. (Continue reading on my blog, link in my bio)

I’m only 8 years into motherhood, however, some

I’m only 8 years into motherhood, however, some things I’ve learned to be true is that it doesn’t always have to a perfect day, or a day full of rainbows and sun shine. ☀️🌈 Some days are just out of our control, & they can become really hard. & that’s ok.
I’ve learned to embrace the place we’re in, even though it’s not where I want us to be. The stress of the unknown is so relevant for us all. ⛈

I’ve found so much power in being honest with my whole family about when I’m not feeling great, when I need support, and when I need their understanding.
Opening that door of vulnerability with my children has been such a blessing to our family. 💚It gives them the opportunity to see that I’m doing my best when I don’t feel my best. 💚It has brought us all closer together. 💚It’s created a safe place for us all to share our feelings. 💚It’s taught us all to be more compassionate to one another. 💚To give one another grace when we need it most. 💚It’s taught them that every person on this planet has hard days. 💚 It encourages us to get better. 💚& most importantly it’s shown my children that sometimes it’s ok to just be ok.
What we truly need is a supportive community of people around us & to be shown love when we need it the most.
Are you open with your family about these things or do you tend to keep things to yourself or pretend like everything is great or ‘fine’ all the time❓

Do you see the positive/ negative effect it has on your family❓

I’m not ashamed about how much I need Jesus.
I’ve been struggling so much recently with some really heavy stuff I haven’t yet had the courage to talk about.
It’s been a long process of working out all that’s wrong in my life & knowing what to believe.
I know I’m not perfect and I will never pretend to be.
But recently, I’ve just been in one of those yucky places.
I’m almost positive we all find ourselves there sometimes.
Trying to find new ways to think & live your life when you are so used to thinking a whole different way can be hard and a really long process. It’s not comfortable when you are doing something you aren’t used to and you start forcing changes to take place.
It feels like your plate is always full which makes it impossible to find the time to really ‘deal’ with the stuff going on in your mind & your heart.. then you deal with so much guilt against yourself for feeling the way you do.
It feels “not good enough”
It’s so easy to just lose it in these places.
To lose your hope.
To lose sight of his promises.
To lose your mind.
Ive been in that place that I don’t like to be.
A place of obsessing over things that are out of my control & a place of feeling completely helpless.
It’s been a place of isolation and away from the one and only thing that’s ever truly calmed my soul.
Jesus.
I’m so thankful that, even though I have felt far away from him & even though I haven’t been listening to him— he’s still been with me the entire time.
We aren’t meant to feel alone, but that’s exactly what our enemy wants us to feel.
Today, I realized I really needed a self check & and to ask myself who & what I’ve been listening to that’s making me feel so negative.
After doing some reflecting, I’ve uncovered some areas I still need healing from & I’m giving myself the grace now to overcome them rather than giving myself unrealistic expectations.
Spending time away from what I know is good for me never gets my mind anywhere good.
In fact, it creates an open space for me to move further away from what is good. & I hate more than anything to feel far away from a content heart & from love & acceptance.
Reminder: Stay close to what makes you feel good.
