Let us take care of each other and lookout for one another.Let us be kind to everyone we meet and everyone we see. Because you never know whose life you just might save byshowing a little kindness.
Today is the beginning of a new chapter. Today opens a new door — to a new path. Are you nervous? Definitely. Are you anxious + uncertain? You bet. But if not now, when? If not today, how long until the next door opens? Will you face challenges, set-backs + disappointments? Without a doubt. But it’s time to turn the page. It’s time to trust God’s path — the path He has chosen for your Read more…
Yesterday, Weight Watchers launched an app FOR KIDS!!!! Yep… you read that right. Kurbo by WW is a nutrition and weight-loss app that targets an audience between the ages of 8(!?!?) and 17.
Okay, let’s be real. Sometimes it can feel as though God is silent. Like He’s abandoned us and left us high and dry — to fend for ourselves. We all have seasons of wilderness — where we feel lost and alone and as though there’s no way out. Seasons of silence from God aren’t meant to hurt us or cause us anguish. Instead, they are meant to strengthen, not weaken, our faith. Every single day Read more…
Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. Fighting an invisible battle can be so exhausting. Especially when others don’t see how hard you’re working to be where you are.
Y’all have read all my rants about the messiness of eating disorders, you’ve heard me complain about the hardest parts of my journey, and y’all have learned about some of the many lessons I’m learning along the way. But I don’t believe I’ve ever really shared my reasons WHY with you all.. WHY I chose to fight. WHY I chose to seek professional help after 2 years of giving myself to this disease. WHY I Read more…
People post their best, most beautiful and presentable selves online. Not their un-filtered, flawed, and raw selves.
You are enough. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
God doesn’t discourage our questioning, or our doubts. He welcomes them! Because to really KNOW God, you have to wrestle through pain, struggle through those honest doubts, and even live with unanswered questions at times.
So many of us have been raised and taught that showing love and kindness means sacrificing what we may need to feel okay. But that’s not okay. And it’s definitely not a healthy way of showing up for people. It’s just not sustainable. NO connection is worth ignoring your own physical, mental, or emotional needs. One key aspect that I’m having to learn, is that sometimes you just HAVE to choose yourself. In my life, Read more…
Whatever it may be, it can’t be done unless you step out of your box and challenge yourself to create who you want to become.
This past weekend was a real…struggle. BUT, I will say, there was some beauty in the struggle. For me (and probably many of y’all), holidays such as Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. almost always mean that there will be a family gathering of some sort and, of course, lots and lots of food. Really, any family/friend gathering typically involves at least some type of food or snack. Am I right, or am I right??? This can Read more…
I appreciate all of the love and support you show, but I also need to learn to love myself and not depend only on the love others’ have for me.
The real you, in all your weaknesses and brokenness, is perfect and priceless. It’s not only what God has to work with, but it’s what God wants to work with. And from that starting place, progress is possible.
