A Reboot

I don’t know about you but there are days where I don’t recognize myself or my life. I look back on what I was writing a year ago in my journals or this blog, and it seems like years have gone by. I had the opportunity last night to tell friends about my passion for emotional health and I struggled to put my thoughts into words. Where did my voice go?!?!?! It made me really sad. I am feeling so disconnected even from myself. So here is my attempt to preach to myself what I know to be true about God, this life, and myself. Let me know if any of these resonate with where you are… really feel free to leave comments below.

1. I grow in a place of unconditional self-friendship and kindness. I must learn to be gracious with myself. More on this here
2. My fear is that I am not enough. This is the same fear Adam and Eve had in the Garden and I must start speaking truth to this lie. God literally moved Heaven and Earth and became one of us so I could get this truth: I am enough. I am worthy. Read more here and here.
3. The Presence of God. Life is still all about being in His presence. In the midst of a global pandemic, racial and political tension, He hasn’t abandoned us or given up. He is still waiting in the upper room of our soul for us to join Him. More here.
4. I need solitude. I moved away from ‘my river’ so I must set out to find my new spot even if it is at 6am because it is so hot here in Florida! Ha!! Solitude is the good I know I ought to do and don’t do it enough! What is your good you need to do for yourself?

I am not waiting for the pandemic to be over to connect with myself again. The writing may be sporadic and rough around the edges but I am getting back to it. Thanks for being faithful friends and again I would love to hear from you in the comments below:)
