I can change my mind.
The mind. It’s beautifully complex but sometimes doesn’t feel so beautiful. Oppressive thoughts, low self worth, and speaking defeated words over ourselves make us feel less than. I fall into bad thinking patterns when I feel stuck and unsure what the right decision is to make. I feel guilty if I make a wrong decision…

Sometimes
Sometimes it’s hard to walk this faith thing out. I was praying last night and telling God how frustrated I was. I have been trying to memorize verses to have a more “positive” mindset, and it just felt like a lot of work, reading books, listening to podcasts, and feeling tired. I realized I have…

Acceptance
I learned young you should push back on areas you don’t like about yourself. For example, I don’t like that I get overwhelmed easily, so I’ll pretend I don’t feel overwhelmed.

New Heart
I was thinking about our hearts last night. How God moves in when we accept Him as Lord and Savior, but He doesn’t end there. He wants all of our heart. He promises to give us a new heart, but not by force. We can look at the Old Testament and know God never forced…
