Being STILL++

Delaware
2024/7/27 Edited to

... Read moreFor 30 transformative days, I focused on my faith and self-discovery by devoting myself to the Lord and distancing myself from superficial relationships. These past weeks have shown me the importance of surrounding myself with individuals who share my beliefs and values. I'm immensely thankful for the positive impact these newfound friendships have had on my spiritual journey. We often overlook how essential it is to connect with like-minded individuals who uplift us and encourage our growth. I'm excited to announce the launch of my new group, 'She's Pious', dedicated to women on a faith-based journey. This welcoming community will provide a support system as we navigate our spiritual paths together. Participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and resources that foster faith and personal development. As we continue on this journey, we remind ourselves of Proverbs 18:21, which states that our words hold the power of life and death. Let’s speak life into our situations and grow together in faith while uplifting those around us.

my whole life i defined consistency as perfection. if i slipped up, missed a day, made a mistake, then in my head i “broke my streak” and had to start all over again (which is super discouraging) but consistency isn’t doing everything exactly right every day. it’s about showing up to the table -
