Running from our pain or problems might seem like Running from our pain or problems might seem like the easiest route, but more times than not,  this is an illusion. Genuine and lasting healing is often found along the path with no shortcuts but rather  through dealing with a situation directly or enduring the season of hardship. Eventually you will come through to the other side 🖤
In a world where EVERYTHING is tempting to define In a world where EVERYTHING is tempting to define you, label you, gain your loyalty and inform your worldview.. seek the truth. The actual truth. Not just opinions or feelings or secondhand gossip. This will require you to take pause when people say mean things to you, or when you think deplorable things about yourself.. stop and ask “is that true?” And then ask God to help you see what is true about you. Ask God to show you where you have bought into lies about yourself and others. The truth is knowable and we do not have to simply sit back and receive everything we are given. 💙
Hey girl, idk about you but i’ve spent the past Hey girl,  idk about you but i’ve spent the past year comparing every inch of myself to others. whether be on the internet or real life. and i just go over and over all the things about my body that i wish i could change. i’m not here to tell you i’ve figured it out, or that i have a new found perspective and that i all the sudden love me for me. bc honestly i’m far from that. this also isn’t a pitty party, it’s just me being open and vulnerable for a moment.  i saw this video (swipe) the other day and it shocked me. i know this isn’t something new, we all know how photoshop works. but seeing all these iconic women get their bodies transformed to some unattainable level is so disheartening. but on the plus side, i saw beyoncé have a slight double chin and it made me feel a little bit better about mine. even the perfect aren’t perfect. also, who the heck defined perfect?  i so badly want my confidence back. i so badly don’t want to worry about my appearance any more or the weight i’ve gained, all my clothes that don’t fit, or my crooked teeth or my really unfortunate haircut.  so i took a selfie. for the first time in i don’t know how many years. i intentionally sat down and took a selfie....to find some positives about myself again. to love myself again. to take one step towards building back my confidence. i’ve gotten so concerned with the outside that i have completely crumpled on the inside.  this is the only piece of advice i have right now, and you don’t have to even say it out loud, find one thing you like about yourself. start there. tell your closest confidant. tell yourself. tell God. and ask him to help replace the intrusive thoughts with kind ones.  yes i’m a mess. but i’m still here and God still sees me. the only flaws i want to be concerned about are in my character.  and as for me...i love my skin. 🖤

I’ve been reflecting on something over the past I’ve been reflecting on something over the past few weeks and I would like to share it. •  After I heard the Gospel for the first time when I was in 8th grade, I decided to invite Jesus into my heart. I was so excited about this Good News that I couldn’t not accept it. There was something different about the faith I was living out in 8th grade compared the to faith I’m living out now. 5 years ago, I loved Jesus, but I wasn’t living my life for Him. When we say “I dedicated my life to Jesus”, a lot of people don’t know exactly what that means and how to do that. A lot of people invite Jesus into their heart without living their life for Him. •  LIVING for Jesus is pursuing Him every single day. LIVING for Jesus is not just being a fan of His, but a follower of Him. LIVING for Jesus is much more than just loving Him, it’s constantly making decisions for Him and based on what His word says. •  Do you think that you’ve truly dedicated your life to Jesus to follow Him and live for Him everyday, or do you think you’ve just accepted Him into your heart? What would it look like for you to live everyday for Him?  -@torijankowski
