Have you done this? 𝑰𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈- 𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕?

You thought being silent was right. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕.
You thought being silent was noble. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕.

It was what you were taught. What you were told. What you learned to believe.

This silences your inner voice--the still small voice. When you turn away from the quiet knowing within you, it gets quieter.

Little by little, you became smaller.
Diminishing, diminished.
Losing identity. Losing voice.

But- God shows up and shakes you deep within your soul! Those parts of you that was bound by lies, buried beneath and silenced to keep peace begin to surface.

You see the Betrayal, and along the way, you betrayed yourself.
The shaking has begun. Listen.

You can , reclaim, rebuild, and be restored. To original design-learning to trust what you sense and feel and honor what you know. Stand in the truth of who you are.

Mysteries: they are only a mystery until revealed. And God is the Revealer of mysteries.

Daniel was told in (Daniel 12:9) that what was revealed was closed and sealed until the time of the end.

We are in the times of God revealing.

Just thinking

Doing everything you know to do. Faithful, responsible, and trustworthy. You show up as a good steward over what has been entrusted to you.

The stray, the one who wandered away and squandered everything taking advantage of what he had been given, comes home, empty.

A celebration!

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦? 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩is 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳?

The elder son stayed. Perhaps he did not feel celebrated. Then he he sees his long lost brother receive the blessings and the celebration. But, there were blessings the elder son already had and failed to recognize.

Maybe there is a little of the elder son and the prodigal in each of us at times. Perhaps there are blessings we have failed to recognize and embraced.

Let us all stop comparing and complaining! Be cleansed of all bitterness, jealousy, and rejection.

Realize all that the Father has given us, it is more than we know.

Prayer:
Dear Creator God, please reveal any places in my heart where bitterness, jealousy, or rejection resides. Show me what I cannot see. Help me to truthfully examine myself, so that You may release healing and cleansing. Help me see all who You are to me and to be grateful each and every day. Help me know deeply Your love and acceptance. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Self-care may feel selfish when you’ve been conditioned to believe that your time, energy, and resources belong to someone else—even a spouse. When you’ve spent so much of yourself caring for another person, choosing to care for yourself can feel unfamiliar, and even wrong.

But taking care of yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential. It allows you to make space for the things that bring joy, restore your spirit, and nourish your soul. In caring for yourself, you begin to rebuild the strength, peace, and sense of self that may have slowly eroded in an unhealthy relationship.

Not everyone in your life is safe to be excited around, and that's worth noticing. Some people light up when you share good news. Others go quiet, redirect the conversation, or find a reason to mention their own thing instead. That reaction tells you something real about the relationship, whether or not they ever say it directly.

Your mind starts learning who's safe to share with long before you consciously clock it. Eventually you catch yourself softening your wins, downplaying the good news, or just not mentioning it at all around certain people. That instinct usually isn't random. It's your mind protecting you from a pattern it already noticed.

Not everyone needs to know everything about your life, and that's okay. Save your excitement for the people who actually know how to hold it well.

Watch who asks a follow-up question about your good news. Watch who changes the subject. Both are telling you something.

Send this to your person, the one who always wants to hear more. 🎉

Okay, let's sit with this for a second. Maybe you lost a year. Maybe it was ten. That's real, and it's allowed to hurt. You don't have to rush past it to prove you're fine. 🕰️

But can we talk about the other side of it too? The day you finally said "not anymore" was the moment that saved every year that came after. Whatever the old pattern would've kept taking, it stopped right there, because you stopped it.

Your mind just needed you to get here eventually. You did. That counts for everything.

So next time the regret creeps in about the time that's gone, try this instead. You didn't just lose those years. You saved the rest of them.

That's the whole thing right there... 🍃

Send this to someone proud of themselves for starting over, even if it took a while to get there.

I’ve been taking continuing education classes and one of the recent ones was on narcissism. Learning that it is a recognized personality disorder that can quietly traumatize the people around it struck me more deeply than I expected.

The instructor described patterns — the charm (love bombing), the subtle digs disguised as jokes, the way someone can drain your confidence without ever raising their voice. I was able to identify pieces of past conversations and relationships in my own life that affected me. I could see how certain dynamics had shaped me, even when I didn’t have the words for them at the time.

The class gave me a framework to recognize warning signs and helped me understand how trauma bonds form — and how they can be broken. It explained why some interactions left me exhausted, why certain people’s presence felt like walking on shifting ground. (You have probably heard the expression when around some that being around them is like, "walking on eggshells). The harm isn’t dramatic or loud; it builds slowly, almost invisibly. The trauma then is cumulative. Seeing it laid out so plainly made me realize how much I had normalized the behavior without meaning to.

It was eye‑opening, but also grounding — like finally understanding the story you’ve been living in, and seeing the path out with clearer eyes.

We hear about narcissism much these days and it is all over the internet, seemingly seems rampant. Maybe it has been there all along but now we are recognizing it. The good thing is-it does not have to be crazy making but freeing.

That is my desire for us. In mentoring for inner healing the biblical way, we can help ourselves and others.

"The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself."
— Rita Mae Brown

Don't trade your God-given identity for a seat at someone else's table.

The price is too high. You lose yourself!

What can start as as a small compromise at first. Slowly is becomes a prison of your own making—where your voice grows faint, your purpose grows dim, and the person God created you to be becomes hidden beneath the weight of pleasing others.

The cost is often:
• A forgotten identity
• A silenced voice
• A diminished purpose
• A surrendered freedom
• A life shaped by fear instead of faith

Invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart.

What vows have you made in moments of pain?
What lies have you agreed with in seasons of rejection?
What beliefs have quietly replaced the truth of God's Word?

Bring them into the light.

Break agreement with every counterfeit identity.
Tear down every false belief.
Demolish every altar built to the approval of people.

You were never created to earn a place in someone's life.

You were chosen before the foundation of the world, called by name, and secured by the love of Christ.

Stand in that truth—and let everything else fall away.
