It's always a good day when I get to see this lovely face. Thankful for you sister @tiffanyrgrs007 ❤ #lifeisbetterwithfriends Years ago, I was caught off guard by an encounter with a Hindu that opened my eyes to how narrow my lens of God had been. 💔 . . This encounter shifted my perspective on what it actually means to share your personal faith or spiritual journey. ✨In this week's episode, I explore this part of my journey from the beginning stages (ie: evangelizing to everyone 😑) to where I am today. link in bio 👆 Hugs ❤️ . . . . . #podcasts #blogger #faithjourney #spiritualjourney #spirituality #writer #bestillandknow #bebravebeyou #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #relationshipgoals #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #modernmystic #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins Abuse series #6: Oy. This is a struggle for me. And certainly a lesson learned the HARD way. There's something in us, that innately wants to believe the best of those we love. We want to trust that when we are hurt, they will heal us. That when we are misunderstood, they will seek to understand us. That when we are in pain, they will protect us. . . Even in the midst of betrayal, hurt or abusive behavior, we still hold this desire for them to be what we've believed them to be all along: our lovers, friends and protectors. When that need isn't met, it can throw our minds into a panicked misfire. Trying to sort through fantasy vs reality. . . Lesson learned: the one who hurt you, will often not be the one that heals you. There will be others who come into your life to love you where you were unloved. To hold you where you were rejected. To embrace you where you've been wounded. To protect you where you've been exposed. This is how healing works.... . . Consider every wound inflicted to be a representation of that person's level of ability to care for you. Lower the expectations. Expect them to be who they are showing themselves to be. Release them from the peddle stool you've placed them on. And allow room for real friends, lovers and companions to enter your life and kiss your wounds ❤ . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #bravingthewilderness #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #lovewins #deepquotes Happy blessed Sunday. 🙏 This is probably way over due - I tend to assume those who follow me or know me, understand my heart and my journey and am always shocked when someone doesn't. 🤦‍♀️ So, I thought I'd take this moment to address some of the things I've heard over the last few years. One is that some fear I'm losing my faith or that I'm lost. That I'm saying things simply to "tickle" people's ears. They've noticed my writing has changed. My thoughts have become louder. And they are genuinely concerned about my relationship with God. It's easy to make assumptions about someone without understanding the heart behind their actions... 💔 So, friends, this is my attempt to let you into my heart/mind and address some of the things I've heard. And invite you into the unconventional relationship I've had with God all along. 🙏 Much love and happy Sunday.

I've been so thankful to hold this girl's heart, her secrets and her dreams. I'm so proud of you Lyla. Your momma loves you bunches. Happy birthday! 🎂🎊 Part two of last week's episode is up! ➡️In middle school, reading the Bible became my outlet and central point of connection with Spirit. It was a tender place that I held onto through adulthood. The studying of scripture became a passion and led me to eventually become a pastor. But, there was a point when my relationship shifted with the Bible. 🍃 . . In this episode, I talk about when my relationship with the Bible changed and how I handled those shifts during the deconstruction process. Where God led me to let go of the idol I had made the Bible to be, and embrace the realness of my relationship with Spirit - outside of any religious constraints. I candidly talk about what this has looked like post deconstruction and the healing I continue to walk through. ❤ link to episode in bio 👆 . . . . . #podcasts #blogger #faithjourney #spiritualjourney #spirituality #writer #bestillandknow #bebravebeyou #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #deepthought #deepquotes
