The long view 🌻
“Most of us spend so much time hating things about ourselves that we don’t realize we’re crippling our ability to love others.
There’s no way you can figure out how to love somebody else well in a relationship if you have not first figured out how to love yourself. ” ~pastor Michael Todd
I definitely had an aha moment.
with Jesus.
this morning.
because of this.
the reason ~ well one reason ~ I have so much trouble loving my neighbor is because I don’t like myself.
However…I am getting better!
it has been extremely difficult for me to forgive myself for some of my parenting mistakes.
Like I said: I’m working on it with Jesus and I have definitely found that,
as I’m learning to forgive myself.
and love myself.
and give myself a break,
and move on….
I am becoming a better parent and friend and wife and child.
Woooord. Pastor Mike!
Up hurting over parenting stuff. 3am.
Jesus You know: You were there. You are here now. You will never leave me or forsake me, right? Right.
I am rebooting my ❤ now. Please. Speak to me and make me. Feel comfortable again.
- Sunshine on my face.
- Like a golden blessing from life.
- Warm
- encouraging
- quiet
- peaceful
- happy.
- My Cats and dogs bathe in pools of it.
- Excellent idea.
- I’ll take it
Thank you Jesus Sir Wonderful 🙏🙌❤😊
My row to hoe 💐
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.
Psalms 123:1-2 NIVUK

Reboot my heart ❤
Jesus help me and my friends to deal with hard stuff in this life. Rejection. Loneliness. Ugly hearts…. Open our eyes to see the Truth.
Your true colors. Shining through. That why I love You. 🎶
Thanks for summer bbqs, and cold beer 🍺 and chili dogs. Thank You for my cat who is Sphinx-like: solitary and self-contained and mysterious. I love to just look at her. ❤
Thank you Jesus for Sea shells and wildflowers and bark mulch (the smell!). If You had made all the flowers 💐 puce-colored and skunk-scented, how would anyone know differently? But You didn’t because You are awesome 😎👏❤ and You have a beautiful heart.
I love You God. You make me smile.
Attitude adjustment 🌼🌸🌻🌹
As Christians, we need to encourage one another to live by godly standards and resist the pull of the world. ~ Mama Joyce
Reboot my heart
All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever . He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
Ephesians 1:20-23 MSG
Flip flop 🌷
I figured it out:
Why I miss
whole…chunks…of…time
regarding planned activities:
I just now did it again;
and this time I was watching 👀.
Background info: Yesterday was a terrible health day: I was at Defcon 5 all day with a migraine. I tried everything and finally won. I was praying alllll day just to get through the next 15 minutes! I bet some of you guys can totally relate.
I was in constant dog-paddle, keepmynoseabovethewater-mode with Jesus and memorized scriptures. BTW: Don’t think I’m all spiritual and self-controlled: it called…
~ “s-u-r-v-i-v-a-l”
I feel encouraged.
I thought I was just shallow and lazy and that’s why I kept skipping whole days of planned devotions!
When this happens … I will just get back up and keep going with whatever it is that I have planned.
No more self-imposed flagelation.
