Let Your Wounds Refine You- Not Define You

Let Your Wounds Refine You-
 Not Define You

These words are profound. They came from my Pastor's sermon this morning. 

Let your pain and wounds help to shape you to be better and stronger. Learn from them. Let them 'refine' you. Do not let your wounds and pain define and dictate who you are.

Your wounds happened to you. They are not your identity. 

Your wounds, pain, trauma, etc. do not define you.

Your worth and value in Christ defines you!

Don't Quit, You Will Make It!

I know that some of  you are going through a difficult time. 

I know that you want to give up and quit the fight, the hard times.

Please don't quit. Don't ever give up. You can make it through this difficult time!

Give your worries and fears to God. Let go of what you do not have control over and give them to Him. 

Someone is praying for you as well.

You are child of God. He loves you and cares for you. Go to Him. Pray. Have hope.

Seek support whether it is from a friend, a church member, a support group, or a with a counselor. 

There is hope and help.

Before You Can Be Happy With Others.........

Before You Can Be Happy With Others.........

Before someone is good enough for you..........

Before something is good enough for you..........

You first need to be happy with yourself.

You have to be enough. You have to learn and understand that you are enough.

And if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will feel and understand this being 'enough' much easier. 

You will learn that you always have worth and value in Him.

Thus, until Jesus and yourself are enough, someone and something else will never feel like it is enough. 

You have to love yourself before you can fully love another. You cannot give what you do not have. You cannot pour from an empty cup. 


Be a HOPE CHANGER in your own life and in the lives of others!  

Demonstrate self-care and optimism to  facilitate healing and encourage others!

When You Are In a Dark Place....

When You Are In a Dark Place....

You may feel like you have been buried.

Perhaps, you have been planted!

So, BLOOM!!! 

I love this! 

It is all about perspective.  

Things usually have to get worse before we are motivated enough to make big positive changes in our lives.

If you are in a dark place, bloom where you are planted. Learn from your life experiences. Look ahead. Have Hope!
