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. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ #selfimprovementmonth ๐Ÿ’•

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 thingsโ€ฆ โŒI was placing hope in approval from others. โŒ I was placing hope in my career. โŒ I was placing hope in my relationships. But really, the only thing I should have been placing hope in is the Lord! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

During my recovery journey, he healed me from my suicidal thoughts in the most radical way ๐Ÿฅฒ I also discovered there are many more things I needed to work on so I can elevate to my highest self, but by Godโ€™s standards. Some of the best gifts I received from my healing and self-improvement journey are: โœจI re-found my strong faith & hope in the Lord.

โœจI found a supportive community of people who have turned into family.
โœจI 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.
โœจI found that I can help others through sharing my story of Godโ€™s amazing work in my life. Last month, I celebrated 4 years of being in recovery ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป 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. ๐Ÿ’•

Self-improvement is an everlasting journey. Itโ€™s not an easy road, but the freedom waiting is so worth it in the end! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ I hope this month brings you the healing, grace and love you desire and need!

Love you!๐ŸŒ€โœจ
