A year difference and I’m JUST NOW starting to really see a difference

Vulnerability

🤍 My Story: I’m a mother of two beautiful girls, on the tail end of an ugly divorce.. and let me tell you these last four years have been a roller coaster to say the least.

🤍 How I Felt: At that time I really felt lost. I felt like I’d lost everything and then on top of that (even knowing I was beautiful) I did not like what I saw in the mirror.

I didn’t like the persons looking back at me. Not only that , I did not recognize that lady ! I made up my mind to start making the choices and changes that felt more inline with who I felt like on the inside .

🤍 My Takeaways: know your WHY . That will keep you grounded in all the chaos. That will keep you disciplined when you don’t have the desire to do anything. It’ll keep you accountable and it’ll keep you honest with yourself.

... Read moreLife changes can be challenging, especially when navigating personal upheavals like divorce. Many people can relate to the struggle of self-image during tough times. Understanding that you are not alone can be empowering. Building a support system and embracing self-love are crucial steps in the healing process. Professional help, such as therapy or counseling, can provide guidance and support, helping individuals cope with emotions and rebuild their self-esteem. Reflecting on past experiences can offer insights into your growth and encourage positive changes in your life. Engaging in self-care routines, whether physical like exercise or emotional like journaling, can be beneficial. Remember to celebrate small victories and remind yourself of your worth. This journey is not just about the outer transformation but also about fostering inner strength and resilience. With time, clarity, and purpose, it's entirely possible to emerge from life's challenges stronger and more aligned with your true self.

How I Study the Bible Now vs. Then ✨
I used to rush through Bible reading highlighting verses, following yearly plans, and checking it off my list ✔️. But I wasn’t truly taking it in. It felt more like a task than a way to grow spiritually. Now, I study with intention. Instead of just reading to finish, I focus on what stands out a
