Are You A Mood Manipulator?
My day was trash. I woke up so irritable. Probably my hormones. Everyone and everything was bothering me, including myself. If anything could go a little wrong, it did. I was wearing my day on my face full throttle. You could tell I was not a happy camper by one glance in my direction. But […]
IDENTITY CRISIS
Growing up, I was posed with the question deep inside myself: Who Am I? Honestly, I didn’t even know what that meant. It was too big of a question to wrap my head around. I felt like a lost little girl bouncing off others’ lives, never landing anywhere solid. I didn’t know how to “find […]
Time To BE BIG: Spiritual Growth and Stamina
Babies can be any age. I am convinced. EXAMPLE: Full-grown adults that are so needy of other people that they cannot function without their help. This topic can get sticky because we do NEED other people. “Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God.” – Hebrews 12:15a, […]
A Disordered Life
“A disordered life speaks loudly of a disordered soul.” I will never forget the time I was visiting someone in my ministry to help her with a few issues she was having in her life. I pulled up to her little apartment. Like many young, newly married couples, she and her husband barely had any […]
Get Up and Get GOING!
When my son was little, he had a repulsion to green vegetables. He refused to eat them. Everyone else in the family chowed them down, but this little guy… just wouldn’t. His babysitter would hide them, blended in his mac and cheese sauce… I wasn’t that nice. One night, I decided, enough is enough. He was old enough to […]

Being stuck in the depressing monotony of everyday LIFE. I have been there. I have felt so hopeless, bored, and down in the […]
GOT DADDY ISSUES?
Got daddy issues? I definitely have had my own battle with daddy issues. 🙄 What does that even mean? “Daddy issues” are often explained as adult issues resulting from a negative relationship with one’s father in childhood or a lack of one entirely. – Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) “Attachment disorder (otherwise known as daddy issues) really […]
“IT’S NOT MY FAULT!!” Playing Victim To Avoid Responsibility
“It’s much more beneficial initially to be a victim than to be responsible…”. Unknown TWO WORDS: PLAYING VICTIM. This used to be my “go-to” anytime I was confronted with something I did wrong or something about my character I needed to change… I was a genius in coming up with ways of making it someone else’s fault. […]
THINK TWICE…
This post is about something I have literally struggled with for my entire saved life. I’d like to think I am getting better at it but then weeks like last week happen and I feel like I haven’t grown at all. Here was the scene… I was storming around the house cleaning, organizing, picking up after […]
Paralyzed By Perfection Part 2: “Obedience To God”
Are we seriously still on this topic? Yes. Yes, we are. But you will thank me. And you may be thinking, “this doesn’t apply to me, I don’t have this problem… I could care less about things being perfect!” But I want to challenge you because I bet that when I talk about this next area of […]
