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. ๐๐ผ #selfimprovementmonth ๐
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 thingsโฆ โI was placing hope in approval from others. โ I was placing hope in my career. โ I was placing hope in my relationships. But really, the only thing I should have been placing hope in is the Lord! ๐๐ผ
During my recovery journey, he healed me from my suicidal thoughts in the most radical way ๐ฅฒ I also discovered there are many more things I needed to work on so I can elevate to my highest self, but by Godโs standards. Some of the best gifts I received from my healing and self-improvement journey are: โจI re-found my strong faith & hope in the Lord.
โจI found a supportive community of people who have turned into family.
โจI 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.
โจI found that I can help others through sharing my story of Godโs amazing work in my life. Last month, I celebrated 4 years of being in recovery ๐๐ป 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. ๐
Self-improvement is an everlasting journey. Itโs not an easy road, but the freedom waiting is so worth it in the end! ๐๐ผ I hope this month brings you the healing, grace and love you desire and need!
Love you!๐โจ
