You Are Not Your Past

We think we can't lose __ lbs because we've never done it before.

Or that we can't have a successful career.

Or that we could neeever have the discipline or courage to do _________.

Whatever you're filling in your blanks with...you are defining your future based off of your past.

Your past gives you insight, but it doesn't dictate what's ahead...it doesn't have that kind of power.

It only has that power if you give it that power.

GOD is sovereign over your circumstances. He is greater than ANY circumstance, because HE IS. (I Am.)

And He calls you to take His hand. You CAN take His hand friend. With God, YOU can and do have that power living inside you.

What would your life look like if you never learned something for the first time? Everything you know now is by God's grace, and because you took the time, effort, energy and patience to receive that grace.

You learned.
You received.
You practiced.
You mastered.

You just have to transfer that belief to that goal you think you can't do....

...because the truth is, YOU CAN.

And if you believe you can, YOU WILL.

Let your future be dictated by your NOW.

Take His hand today...👐

You Can Rest Tonight, Sister

You can rest from the negative thoughts you're having; give them to God and allow Him to replace it with His truths.

You can rest from the belief you have to do everything; even if you did absolutely nothing and laid in bed all day, it doesn't change God's love for you.

You can rest from believing you have to do things the way others want you to; His voice and approval matters most.

And guess what sister?

He views you perfectly. Beautifully. Worthy. Pure. Whole.

And not be anything you had to do, but what Jesus already did for you.

It's the gift given to you everyday; you just have to receive.

So release the anxiety, overwhelm and stress to Him and rest well.

Drop a 💜if you needed this tonight.

Self-Care

Self-care is emphasized a lot these days. Some people think it’s selfish, while others think it’s necessary.

When we hear from God first, He will tell you when to be still and when to move.

When we focus too heavily on one or the other (taking action or self-care), we can lose sight of our true purpose and calling and go off track to the plans and path He has for us.

His leading is the greatest GPS of when to be still and rest, and when to GO and take massive action.

Drop a 💜 if like this version of self-care.
