a gentle reminder for all the believers out there: don't believe the lie that you are too far gone for God to reach you again. remember where & who you were before God. if he thought you were too much for him, if he thought you had strayed too far, then he wouldn't have reached out and saved you. what makes you believe it is any different this time around? the truth is: if you weren't too far gone without God, you aren't too far gone with God. he still loves you.

Actor who plays apostle embraces his limp

Jordan Walker Ross plays Little James in The Chosen, but his disability in the show is no act. Born with cerebral palsy and scoliosis, Jordan has sometimes questioned God just like his character. But in this video he answers, “If you had the opportunity to be healed this very moment, would you?” and it may surprise you.

Dear Life.

I feel like the person I am and I want to be doesn't need drama everyday. Reliving my past everyday because people won't let it go. They want to bring it up to me everyday. It's taking a toll on my mental health. It's hard to heal from the past when people won't let you live it down. Staying worried all the time, forgetful, nerves on edge, belittled, told I have problems and I'm the worst. I shouldn't have to put up with that everyday I live. All I want is peace and quiet, a positive support system, my son to be in good health, happy and see me happy, instead of depressed because the person I live beside will not leave me alone.

I'm sitting outside tonight enjoying the peace of the quiet. I feel like I can be myself and not have to people please because I don't want to say anything wrong. I sit here away from all that and it feels good. I feel happy, positive about life, encouraged to be a better person, and the happy me that loves to make people smile, be good to people, make someone laugh, see those around me happy and positive about life. Winning, not being drug down or mistreated and abused by others. I want to see people living their best life. The peacefulness I feel right now is what I've been lacking for many years. Being around negative people all day everyday is exhausing me.

Sincerely myself,

Renee

P.S. Peace and Love to everyone.

Ignite Joy and Empowerment

Today, let's harness the incredible power of our words and actions to uplift and inspire those around us. 🤗✨ Whether it's a simple smile, a heartfelt compliment, or a genuine "You've got this!", your encouragement can create ripples of positivity that touch hearts and change lives. 🌈❤️

Remember, encouragement isn't confined to a single day—it's a gift we can give every day. Here are some often overlooked ways to spread positivity and light in the lives of others:

Active Listening: Sometimes, the best encouragement comes from just being there to listen. Offer your undivided attention and a compassionate ear to someone who needs to share their thoughts and feelings.

Random Acts of Kindness: Surprise someone with a small act of kindness, like leaving a thoughtful note or treating them to their favorite snack. It's these little gestures that can make someone's day brighter.

Celebrate Progress: Whether it's a big achievement or a small step forward, celebrate the milestones and progress of those around you. Your genuine excitement can fuel their motivation.

Empower Through Feedback: When offering constructive feedback, focus on the positives first. Highlight their strengths and acknowledge their efforts before suggesting improvements.

Express Gratitude: Let others know how much you appreciate them. A heartfelt "thank you" can go a long way in boosting someone's confidence and self-worth.

Share Resources: If you come across articles, books, or resources that could benefit someone, share them! Your willingness to help them grow shows that you believe in their potential.

Offer a Helping Hand: Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Extend a helping hand to someone in need, whether it's assisting with a task or offering your support during a challenging time.

Show Understanding: Be empathetic and validate their feelings. Let them know it's okay to experience ups and downs, and that you're there to support them no matter what.

Cheer from the Sidelines: Attend their events, performances, or presentations to show your unwavering support. Your presence alone can boost their confidence.

Spread Positive Vibes: Share inspiring quotes, stories, or personal experiences on social media to brighten someone's day and remind them of their inner strength.

Let's make encouragement a daily practice, spreading kindness and positivity wherever we go. 💪🌻 Together, we can create a world where everyone feels valued and empowered. Happy National Day of Encouragement! 🎉✨

You have been struggling with body image and accepting your character for most of your life. For many, this takes form in drug abuse, selfharm or developing a certain character or image

For you, it took the form of disordered eating/an eating disorder

But, once you realized that with adulthood, big things come up that need your full attention, you’ve decided to go all in and fix yourself so that you could give the things that made you happy the attention they deserve

It’s been rough. It’s been taking time and patience. You’ve been honest with your S/O once you made your relationship official, and they’ve been supporting you every day

It’s been going well and you’re feeling pretty good over all. However, relapses are bound to happen when you’re trying to get better. It’s part of the process. But you can’t always put up a facade…

I believe in you

———————————————————————

You stand infront of the bathroom mirror. Observing yourself carefully, you take in all the details. The bumps, the birthmarks, the hairs, the curves, just… everything. Your fingers begin to wander, pinching your stomach, then your hips. Arms and thighs don’t go uninspected either.

Time goes on and that one minute turns into five, then seven before a knock interrupts you. „Hey, you good in there? I don’t mean to rush, but I really wanna shower before bed…“ His voice is a little tired, relaxed. It’s obvious that he’s not thinking of anything bad happening. And, honestly, he is right.

But as you stand there, ripped out of your increasingly dark daydreaming, you feel bad. Trying to swallow the lump that is forming in your throat, you quickly grab your towel and wrap your body up as you answer: „Y-yeah, I’ll be right out!“ The weight of the sudden, disgusting thoughts throw you off-guard. It’s been going so well, you think to yourself as you turn the lock, why is this happening?

„All yours.“ Trying your best to sound normal, you avoid eye-contact as you hurry past him to your shared bedroom. You need to get some clothes on fast. You need to hide. „Oh, thanks“, he calls out, „see you in a bit.“ As the door closes behind you, the lump clogs up your throat. The muted sound of running water becomes background noise. Tears fill your eyes and you clutch the towel fiercely around yourself, feeling strangely exposed.

Ugly. Disgusting. The words loom over everything you say in your mind as you throw on some loose clothes, wiping hot tears off your cheeks periodically. It probably makes you look even more ugly than usual. The thought of what you look like right in this moment - and you know exactly what it looks like - makes your chest hurt.

You try reasoning with yourself. Things take time. A year at least - you might need more, who knows. You are trying really hard. But all of that just sounds like you’re mocking yourself. Of course. It’s not like eating ice cream every day is something only fat people do. You take a tissue from the tissue box on your nightstand and blow your nose. That’s mean and it’s bullshit. But is it though?

As your thoughts get worse, so does your crying. Doubt grows faster than weeds. You don’t know shit about this stuff; you’re making excuses and lying to yourself. Look at your boyfriend! He’s probably laughing about you and making fun of you behind your back- angrily and full of frustration, you punch your pillow. „It’s not true!“ you hiss under your breath. It doesn’t convince you.

A part of you wants to hide your state as best as you can; lie to him and pretend until this episode passes. The other part wants to just cry. So you do, lying down on the bed, curling up and hiding your face in your hands. No one likes feeling miserable and unloveable. But admitting it is something people want to do even less. And you are no exception.

When the water in the bathroom stops, you feel like you’ve gotten some of the worst crying out. You don’t move from your spot on the bed as you listen to your boyfriend get out of the shower and walk down the hall, closer and closer to seeing you. It isn’t too late to hide yet…

„Hey- aww, he coos as soon as he enters, were you that tired? You poor thing…“ Realization hits him when he walks around the bed and sees your position in the dim shadows. „(Y/n), are you okay?“ You haven’t looked yet, but you hear him crouch down infront of you. A big hand lands on your shoulder, rubbing it softly. It’s warm. „Hey, what’s the matter? Did something happen?“ Worried. He sounds worried.

You shake your head, trying to find something to say. „No, just…b-bad thoughts…“ You squeeze the words out meekly, feeling childish and embarrassed. Way to go. Be even more of a pain in the ass than you already are. You curl up into yourself, unable to look at him. „Sorry, I don’t mean to be annoying, I really don’t…“ You hate yourself so much in this moment. You know exactly how annoying you’re being. That you’re burdening him and everyone around you just by being you. Why are you like this?

Then, you feel him laying his upper body over yours, his forehead pressed against your temple that’s barely peeking out from the pillow. His arm is around your upper back. „You aren’t annoying. I know what you’re going through - even if I don’t know what it feels like, I can imagine that it just… just sucks.“ He rubs your shoulder. „Things can’t always go smoothly. And while I’m sorry that you’re feeling like this - he presses a kiss to your temple - I’m extremely proud of you for being so honest. I remember when you couldn’t even have a meal with me without seeming anxious.“

Unable to bear the heat anymore, you shift so that you can sit up and wipe your eyes and nose. As you do, he climbs on the bed and hugs you from the side, tucking you under his chin, just how he knows you like it. You lean into him and sniffle. He gives you a tight squeeze. „I promise you I’m so proud of you…“

You shake your head a little, because you’re baffled. Baffled at his kindness and his patience when you are sitting here with nothing but hate towards yourself and everything that you are. It’s as though you are about to burst with all this… this frustration, but he just, just holds you and reassures you. There’s a light breeze in your room - right, you left the window open so the bedroom would be cold. You shiver, smelling your shampoo and the fresh night air.

„I don’t see why you’re so…so patient and nice. Am I really worth all that energy?“ Voice wobbling, you force the words out, tumbling over your anxious thoughts. „I don’t want to waste your time…“ You feel him freeze up for a moment. Then he takes your shoulders and turns you to face him. „Listen to me. Are you listening?“ Surprised by his serious tone, you nod. His eyes are looking straight into yours, an intensity in them that you don’t see often.

„I will tell you why you are worth my energy and time. Because I love you.“ His hands go to grab your face so you can’t look away. „It’s why I want you to get better. It’s why I want to be reliable and trustworthy to you; even more so than before. You make me happy, and I want nothing more than for you to be happy. With me.“

He grabs your face and gets an inch closer, head lowering a little as he goes on. His hands are so huge. You can feel the callousness at the base of his fingers. „I know you don’t always see it. And I know that I get frustrated because of that sometimes- but you are a beautiful girl, no matter what you think.“ He rubs his thumbs over your cheeks. He’s not smiling as he does so. The fact that he’s serious somehow makes you feel better than when he is trying to make you smile. This feels real. Feels true.

„You’re the only thing stopping you. Sometimes I get the feeling that you want to believe the things you think about yourself.“ Letting his hands drop, he relaxes a little. He rubs your shoulder affectionately. „Hm? That’s just your old mindset, sweetie. You’ve got to give yourself more time - and I see you every day. I see you making progress.“

Now he finally smiles, his eyes scrunching up into small crescents. He boops your nose and you can’t help the snort that escapes you. „Ey, he chuckles, c‘mere.“ You shiver as another small gust of wind blows in through the window, making the curtain sway. His body is firm and warm; you feel small in his arms.

„I believe in you. Even if you don’t believe in yourself yet, I do.“ He squeezes you and you return it just as strongly, realizing just how fucking blessed you are to have him in your life. „Thank you, you mumble, for putting up with my ass. I’m sorry if it’s frustrating.“ „Sweetie, he pats your hair, I gladly put up with your ass. Because I get something in return.“ He pulls away and gives your forehead a kiss, smiling sheepishly as he does so.

„ A funny, interesting, fit and beautiful girl who somehow finds me appealing enough to date. Really, sometimes I wonder why you put up with my ass; you cook for me, make sure I eat healthy and shit-„ He stops and gives you a comic look of confusion. „Hey. You’re concerned about my diet and overall well-being. But not for your own.“ He glances away from you and then back, wiggling his eyebrows. You giggle. „Kinda sus, don’t you think?“

You hit his chest, actually a tiny bit hurt by his joke. Seeing your pout, he’s quick to laugh and catch you in his arms again. He smells so manly after he showers, you think. „I kid, of course- in all seriousness-„ He gives you one more kiss on the head, this one lingering and a lot more soft. „I am so, so damn proud of you for being so honest with me. And you know that I love you, regardless of whether or not you eat ice cream every evening. Wether or not you gain weight or not. I love you and I want you to be healthy - I need you around for a long time, so…“

For a moment, you two just look at eachother. He smiles and you feel no hesitation in returning that smile, feeling like someone just pulled you in out of a rainstorm. Like they’d wrapped you up in towels to dry and then stuck you in a blanket with some tea as the storm goes on outside. Unable to reach you. And he was the one to pull you out of it. Of course, you would have to do that for yourself more often. But fuck, if you weren’t blessed for having someone to do it for you sometimes. Willingly, just because they cared.

You leaned forward to kiss him, first on the lips and then on the cheek. „Thanks. I’m…“ As you grow a bit shy, you lean your head on his shoulder, inhaling his warm, familiar scent. „…I’m so blessed to have you.“

His chest rumbles as he chuckles quietly. „Same here. I’m so happy you trust me, (Y/n). You know that you can tell me whenever you’re not feeling good.“ He rubs his cheek against your head, making you laugh. „No matter how stupid you may think you’re being. Cause I can promise you, you’re not.“ You hug him, as hard as you can, and he groans playfully in return. „Jesus, calm down buddy!“ With a great enthusiasm, he acts out suffocation and you laugh out loud, your worry and self consciousness all forgotten.

You’d be okay. He was right - things do take time. But you would be patient and honest, with others and yourself, and eventually, you’d be really, truly okay.

Note dumps from an afternoon of little motivation:

•

Existing may be tiring lately,

but remember there are trees to hug that provide nice shade, and a sun that'll rise the next afternoon you walk to work.

•

Something in the universe is delighted that you exist today!!

(Repeat this over and over until the thought of love is bearable. You are cared about.)

•

Not only are the trees great at listening (and holding our worries), but they're a wonderful reminder that growth requires time and patience with ourselves and those around us.

•

Please remind yourself as you hug your shoulders tight, that you must allow gentleness into your heart from time to time. Let the maple leaf that lands in your hair remind you to try your best. Show up & hang with the trees today, and stick around so you can sit with them again in the future.

•

& it doesn't seem possible yet, but adulting will become bearable someday. There is so much to do that isn't so boring! You will find creative joy again, keep encouraging your inner kid! Your milestones may look different compared to others, but that's okay. You're allowed to break and bend just continue on. ♡

•

Written by yours truly :)

The Holy Ghost

Descends upon us

Appears as a dove.

Our Comforter

And Helper

Sent from above.

He comforts and

Gives us Love.

He leads and guides

With each one

He does reside.

He watches over

And protects.

He overrules all things

Even cause and effect.

He defeated death

Hell and the grave.

Only for Him

The wind and sea obey.

Who do you serve this day?

Jesus is the only way.

Jesus Christ is Lord

I will continue to proclaim.

Amy 💕
