Healing is a process that can be different for everyone. So how do you know you are going through it?

Does that heartbreak feel overwhelming? Is it too strong to bear? I’ve got words for you.

An ode to all of you who are tired.

We have many struggles in this world and there is one who gets it all because he has experienced it.

As tempting as it is to get back at the person who hurt, even if it seems easy, consider giving it to God

Holding on to a situation, hurt or person can be more harmful than we know. Why should we make that leap to letting go.l

The reason for why something happened can nag at us. Hopefully these steps bring you peace.

These words are a big part of our healing. Can you accept them as yours?

We say let God heal you but how does he take you on that healing path

How do we know the struggle we are currently going through is because of our past? It takes time to process and analyze.

Circumstances may not look like it is even possible. So is it even possible for a happy ending to occur? DO they even exist?

That break up may feel like a tornado just blew through and not much is left behind, but you, my dear, have so much right now.

Sometimes we experience so much loss in our lives that at some point that loss takes on a life of its own and becomes more than we want to handle. Have we become bitter?

We are tempted many times to take the battle into our own hands and fight our enemy. But here’s a reminder that the battle belongs to the Lord.

Betrayal is deep. Not only can it hurt us to our emotional core, but it can then transcend into our spiritual core. But God has a plan to use that betrayal and propel us to the next level.

When your heart breaks whether by death or breakup or any sort of loss your emotions can be all over the place. Unfortunately for us we are now on a journey we must go through. But with time we will get through it.

If there is one thing I have learned is that time is a necessary part of healing. It’s part of the complete package. Processing what happened being part of this.

We can say we forgive someone but just saying it doesn’t mean you are doing it. Sometimes we have to go deeper to see if we really do. There is a great blessing when we get to the bottom of it.

One day God told me to pray for the man who purposely hurt me. I absolutely did not want to. I wanted him to suffer. It’s one thing to forgive but to pray for him to be blessed?!

There are many reasons for sharing with others the story of overcoming and beating challenges aside from becoming an amazing story teller that could possibly go down in history. It’s also a major step in healing.

Healing after a broken relationship is not only for your sake but for the sake of others around you as well. Believe it or not we do have an impact on those around us. One more reason to become whole.

Have you ever thought of writing a thank you letter to the one who couldn’t break you? Not a hateful letter but a thank you. Because if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t be where you are right now.

Don’t think being broken means its over. You had a light in you that the enemy stole. But God created light. With His help we can be restored.

Are you doubting your ability in getting through this storm? Do you have what it takes? Will you survive?

Ever feel like you have gone too far for God to forgive you. You couldn’t be more wrong.

There are times we will feel one of these or all three. But I have proof that you are none of those things.

Our ugly bucket collects every ugly comment ever made to us. How do we empty it so it doesn’t affect our lives?

Sometimes we underestimate the importance of knowing who we are. I was told once that it’s very important to know who you are because then no one can tell you who you are.

Be generous in everything. However, also be open to receiving as well. It fuels you up to give more and allows other givers to receive their blessings too.

Your response is very important. We are faced with many situations and people who try to invoke a reaction out of us. But when we react, we put the control in their hands.

When you have a gift, it comes easy to you. You don’t have to put as much effort into it as the next person because it just comes naturally. However, if you’re not gifted with it, don’t force it. It was not meant to be yours.

So many regrets that we have in our life. Just in a day or the year or five years. But imagine a world where we regret nothing. Imagine looking back saying I learned something from all of those regrets. I lived through all of those regrets. I gained through all those regrets.

If a mistake does happen it hurts. It hurts a lot! I have utterly and completely failed. I deserve the punishment. I messed up. Clearly I’m not good enough. Mistakes are for bad people. I mean no one should make a mistake right? Wrong.

If we were supposed to look a certain way the world would be boring. Can you imagine waking up to billions of you all around the world? We wouldn’t have different parts of a band. Just everyone playing the trumpet. God made us different on purpose.

When you are good, good things should come back to you right? Wrong! Here’s why…

You know how we put food through a taste test to see if it’s ready. Ready to be served. Ready to be sent out to the world a.k.a. our family. I imagine God puts us through a trust test for the same reason.

Could it be our mouth that is keeping us stuck in our current situation?

When you are struggling and it just seems to get worse, could there be a message God is trying to get through?
