Self Improvement Month // Moments of Self Care
Shout-out to Celebrate Recovery because it's a ministry that God used to save my life and continues to use to heal many from their hurts, habits and hang-ups. ππΌ #selfimprovementmonth π
I heavily struggled with suicidal thoughts from 2017 to 2018. It's not a light subject, I know. I look back and realize I was placing hope on the wrong thingsβ¦ βI was placing hope in approval from others. β I was placing hope in my career. β I was placing hope in my relationships. But really, the only thing I should have been placing hope in is the Lord! ππΌ
During my recovery journey, he healed me from my suicidal thoughts in the most radical way π₯² I also discovered there are many more things I needed to work on so I can elevate to my highest self, but by Godβs standards. Some of the best gifts I received from my healing and self-improvement journey are: β¨I re-found my strong faith & hope in the Lord.
β¨I found a supportive community of people who have turned into family.
β¨I have found ways to love myself in the healthy ways I deserve, so I can show up as my truest self for my loved ones and help break generational curses.
β¨I found that I can help others through sharing my story of Godβs amazing work in my life. Last month, I celebrated 4 years of being in recovery ππ» I am so grateful for the journey God brought me through and how he used Celebrate Recovery to shake up and change up my life. I feel more comfortable in my skin than I ever have and I know this only the beginning of what God has in store for me. π
Self-improvement is an everlasting journey. Itβs not an easy road, but the freedom waiting is so worth it in the end! ππΌ I hope this month brings you the healing, grace and love you desire and need!
Love you!πβ¨
