My Friend

Show yourself compassion.
Accept your flaws and all.
Shower yourself with praises.
Highlight your gifts and strengths.
Allow yourself to make mistakes.
Make room for grace and love.
Speak truth over the lies you tell yourself.
Speak life into your life.

Be your own supporter, encourager, and friend.

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. 
– Song of Solomon 4:7

Move

Life is not promised.
Time does not pause.
Stop waiting for the perfect time to start.
Stop expecting that things will suddenly change.

Be active in your life.
Be present in your situation.
Make moves on your own behalf.
Have faith and do the necessary work.

Fear can no longer have the upper hand.
Fear can no longer be an excuse.
Fear will always be around.
So, acknowledge your fears, prepare yourself for battle, and move on to do what you’ve been placed here to do anyway.

Live with purpose.
Chase after your dreams.
Make moves towards your goals.
Even just a little step forward is one step closer to where you are meant to be.

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you,
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. 
Nothing will be impossible for you.”
–Matthew 17:20-21

Mission

Take me to a place, calm and serene
where all that resides is full of love and peace.
Lead me to a land, no matter how far,
That eases burdens and nurtures scars.

Forever mission-minded, in pursuit of much.
The doors you’ve opened, may I never shut.
Though fears and failure, doubt, and pain
may distort my vision, You will always reign.

Illuminate my path and order my steps.
Where You lead, I will follow. Just show me what’s next.
How this journey will go, only You can see.
But in the end, let it result in a “mission complete.”

May he give you the desire of your heart
    and make all your plans succeed.

  – Psalm 20:4
