She was always the one checking in.
Holding space.
Making sure everyone else was okay.
Holding space.
Making sure everyone else was okay.
But somewhere along the way,
she forgot to ask herself the same.
she forgot to ask herself the same.
Now, she’s learning to pause.
To breathe.
To gently ask,
“What do I need today?”
To breathe.
To gently ask,
“What do I need today?”
And that one simple question—
that moment of turning inward—
that moment of turning inward—
is starting to heal years of quiet neglect,
and the ache of a love
she needed but never received.
This is how she comes home to herself.
One tender ask at a time.

The way we think directly impacts the way we live. That might sound overwhelming, but it’s actually full of hope. Because while we may not catch every single thought flying through our heads on a crazy day, we can catch just one—and that one can change everything.
So what’s the thought that can interrupt the noise and reroute the spiral?
I have a choice.
When your mind is spinning in distraction, you have a choice: to slow down and return to stillness with God.
When you feel isolated, you have a choice: to lean into community, even if it feels vulnerable.
When anxiety creeps in, you have a choice: to place your trust in His good and sovereign plan.
When cynicism tries to harden your heart, you have a choice: to turn up the worship and soften in His presence.
When pride tries to take the lead, you have a choice: to humble yourself and remember who’s really in charge.
When victimhood whispers lies, you have a choice: to lift your eyes in gratitude for what’s still true.
When complacency settles in, you have a choice: to step out in service and live on mission.
If you’ve placed your faith in Jesus, this isn’t just willpower—it’s Spirit-empowered. You’ve been made new. That means you’re not a slave to your thoughts, your past, your emotions, or your circumstances.
We have been given the ability to choose a new way of thinking. And when you do, it’s not just spiritual—it’s physical. Your brain literally rewires. New thoughts = new paths. New freedom. New joy.
You’re not stuck. You’re not too far gone. You have a choice.
And it starts now.
