I come to you now not “cured," But I come to you stronger, healthier, happier, and both renewed and in the process of renewal.

A moment can not stretch; it has no way to expand beyond its purpose, it is only this precise moment you are in.

I don’t care if I hurt, main, take, or disappoint. It is my nature; it is what I am.

Concern is natural; it’s a safety system set up by God. We can take that concern to God and seek help before anxiety takes over.

I have dealt with intrusive thoughts since I was a child, it straight-up sucks. What's even more exhausting is the judgment I’ve gotten from people over the years, and to be completely honest — it’s one thing to get ignorant comments from a nonbeliever, but it’s a completely different story getting ignorant comments of any kind from a Christian when you too are a Christian.

Here’s the thing to realize: when you are in a storm, and in the back of your mind, you remember all those phrases said about God being silent. They are not all good and have the potential to worsen your loneliness and damage your relationship with God because you are thinking about it the wrong way.
