We create our own habits—good or bad—by repeating behaviors, and those habits—for better or worse—then govern our lives. When we create good habits, it only makes our lives easier, because we can then unconsciously and easily perform the behaviors that are consistent with our goals and identity. On the other hand, when we create bad habits, we can become ensnared by them—performing destructive behaviors automatically, even though we know better and despite our best efforts ... 2023-05-22 17:40:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Good morning!
I have been blessed to have personal conversations with people who have a diverse background from me. I always thank God for that because it is one of the beautiful things about stepping outside of your comfort zone: you are in a position to have more than you could have imagined if you’d stayed safe!
Praying about this, I was asking God why I get this opportunity. My willingness to put myself out there and be honest and try to dispel any notion that I’m perfect ...

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

“Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we forgive someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.”

Move in Love
How different would your life be if the inner movement of your heart was always to reach out in love to others? How might your relationships change? How might your own perspective shift? Paul encouraged those in the Roman church to check the attitude of their hearts, being sure to align them in the light of God’s love.
Love moves in courage, without expectation of a return. It chooses to extend compassion and the benefit of th...
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

“But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous,”

You are a carrier of hope.
Live free, far above the cares of this world, for it is my glory to love you. My honor is found in how I have treated you. My voice will bring you to my presence, for I lead my sheep, and they know my voice. As you set your heart on me, hope will overflow from you to all your family and to all who witness my blessings spilling from your life.
Give me your heart. Seek me with greater passion and leave worry to fend for i...
When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.

I Hear His Whisper...
Praise your way through.
Praise your way into faith. When you’re falling apart and things look bleak, praise your way out of the darkness. Don’t go deeper into your pain; come up higher and praise your way into freedom. Praise will open your eyes to my wonders. It will pull me into your situation in a special way, for I cannot resist your love and faith. Praise me in advance for what I’m about to do, for I will do the seemingly impossible.

Good morning!
Many of us have been challenged with Imposter Syndrome. The definition is: the condition of feeling anxious and not experiencing success internally, despite being high-performing in external, objective ways. There is a fear of being thought of as phony.
I think it’s so interesting that the enemy of our souls works so hard to devalue us or at least to make us devalue ourselves. Why does he do that? Because it causes us to be ineffective, down-trodden and carry heavy...
