As a millennial, life-long church attendee and former pastor, I decided to write an open letter to the church, with the main reasons why I decided to walk out of church doors. (And why many other millennials are doing the same). Link to article in bio👆🏼 . . . . . #blogger #spiritualnature #spiritualawakening #faithjourney #exevangelical #wilderness #writer #progressivechristianity #progressivechristian #lgbtchristian #lgbtchristians #spiritualabuse #deconstructed #abusesurvivor #healthyboundaries #millennialchurch #lovewins #unchurched #spirituality #lovewell #allarewelcome #racisminamerica #alllivesmatter #feminist Do you know HOW LONG it took me to understand this?! 😭For most of my life, I believed I needed to adapt to make others comfortable. Conform to be good. Work hard at being the me I was needed, expected and taught to be. 😢 . . I thought the entire world would fall apart if I dared to be something different. If I left the path and went into the wilderness - I believed I'd be outcasted and marked as damned. 🚫 . . But, all of those thoughts are just fear's way of holding me hostage. Of clipping my wings and telling me it's safer on the ground, even though I know I was made to fly. 🐛 . . The beautiful part about being yourself - in all of your magical unicorn colors - is that the world adjusts. It doesn't crumble. Or fall. The right people stay and the others leave. It's a natural progression of death and life and rebirth and the holiness of it all. The most sacred step is the one made in truth. Be honest. Be brave. Be you. Let your wild colors fly. When you step out in truth, The divine will always catch you and meet you half way ✨ . . . Thank you @elephantjournal for another inspiring quote 🙏 . . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #relationshipgoals #faithjourney #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #wilderness #bebravebeyou #bebrave #deepthought So, here's the deal. Last year was H A R D. Filled with messy, sweaty, inner work. The start to this year has been full of all things still and quiet. Lots of inner seeking, listening and receiving. 🙏 . . Part of where Spirit is leading me this year is to letting go of fear. BUT I THOUGHT I ALREADY DID THAT (literally my rant). But, The further down the destruction wilderness hole you travel, the more you realize how much fear has been deeply ingrained in you. In places you didn't even know existed. 💔 . . This journey of mine continues to challenge me, push me and invite me into a deeper level of courage. More grace for myself. More acceptance of my shortcomings. More gentleness with my soul and the souls around me. And fear is at the root of every single one. We are not born with fear - we are born with love. We are made perfectly in the image of divine love. The further travel this spiritual journey, the closer I am moving to the love I started with❤ . . Thank you @awaken_conscious for the beautiful quote . . . . . #podcasts #blogger #faithjourney #spiritualjourney #spirituality #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #wilderness #gaychristian #deepquotes #divinelove #faithjourney #traumarecovery #traumahealing #emotionalabusesurvivor #spiritualabuse #lettinggooffear am OBSESSED. Part of my new years resolution was to eat clean, cut out processed foods and start detoxing my body. (Thank you trauma for wrecking my insides). I eat pretty good anyway, but I wanted to take my meals to the next level. TOTALLY CLEAN. I looked at tons of meal plans and landed on @splendid.spoon and have LOVED IT. (Code below to try!) 👇 . . Not only does it take the prep work (and guess work) out of my meals, but everything is so good! I have a different smoothie each day for breakfast and a bowl for lunch. (Swipe left to see one of the bowls). The BEST part is there is no sugar added, it's gluten free, clean and vegan. Momma is sold ❤❤❤ If you're looking to clean up your diet and detox your body, you should totally try this!

TRIED AND TRUE. Intuition is never wrong. It is a path to your homeland. Your people. Your tribe. Your purpose. Intuition is what leads you home. 🏠 . . No matter what has been said to you about your feelings, emotions or intuition, know this: your institutions are not wrong. They are not deceitful. Rather, they offer whispers in your ear of truth from Spirit. Truths that you otherwise may not be aware of. ✨ . . Embrace your divine intuition. Honor it. Nurture it. Dare to follow it. Trust it. Allow it to become one of your favorite super powers 💪 . . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #wilderness #healthyboundaries #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #gaychristian #deepthought #deepquotes #divinelove #faithjourney #dailyinspiration #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome This kid just gets more cool every day. She's my hero. Friends, Consider this a friendly reminder to just show up as you.
