There are some wins that only you and God understand the magnitude of. In those moments, remember that an achievement doesn’t need to be noticed, acknowledged or celebrated by others to be valid and deeply significant.

- If you’re someone who withdraws during hard times & re-emerges when things are lighter, you have to understand that the people in your life may struggle to adjust to your ebb & flows, especially when you don’t communicate them. They may not be ready to re-engage just bc you are.
- Ask, don’t guilt trip. Replace the “so you’ve forgotten about me” for “I’ve really missed you, let’s catch up” Replace the “hey stranger” for “I’d love it if we could speak more” Replace the “you never hug me” for “could I have a hug?”
- Replying to @IfyAlexisTruthfully, if we don’t learn to carry people along we can’t be surprised when they aren’t around as we’d like.
- God frequently responds to our emotions. See Hagar. See Hannah. Let’s stop pitting emotions against the word of God.When Jesus wept, Lazarus didn’t walk out of his grave. But when Jesus spoke, Lazarus came forth. God does not respond to your emotions, but his WORD. Instead of worrying and crying over that situation, speak his WORD over it and watch him honor his WORD.
- Replying to @IfyAlexisVulnerable communication will achieve much more than manipulation ever could.
- God’s best is truly best... It’s been a whole week and my heart knows this fully well! God’s best is worth praying for, waiting for and fighting for. 💛 #FaithfulLee #MrsLee Photography: @_JesseKonadu
- The fear of the Lord is what commends a woman to God. Not beauty nor charm. Godliness.
- Never underestimate the power of humility. Sometimes saying “I don’t know” is the wisest thing to say. No need to fabricate an answer.
- Reminder: Worship is not simply your song on a Sunday, it's your obedience to God Monday through to Sunday. 🙏🏽✨
- You struggle w/ defensiveness if: - you can’t receive correction w/o correcting the person back - you can’t receive correction without deflecting & seeking sympathy by highlighting your goodness - correction automatically feels like an attack or indictment against your character
- I pray you’ll learn to stop resisting the person you desire to become; the person you’re praying to become. May self-sabotage no longer have the final say. May you accept who you were predestined to be. Stop fighting you. Make peace with you.
