Being Wrong About People Sucks

Betrayal stings so bad because it always stings to be wrong. Wait what?? Yes…. that’s right. It’s rough to truly believe someone “Would never, EVER ” only to find out they did.

What’s Karen Got to Do With It?

Ever notice how people who aren’t trying to grow spiritually or people who have a really high horse they’re on like to point out everyone else’s sin? It’s super annoying. Guess what!?

Being Belligerent vs Having a Backbone

The difference is in what the end game is. If when it’s over you’ve given up pieces of yourself soContinue reading “Being Belligerent vs Having a Backbone”

Excuses vs Reasons

So what’s the difference between a reason to put something off and an excuse? A reason is a factor you can’t control, something that actually affects your decision, something to consider when making a plan. An excuse is something we say to make ourselves feel better about not doing what we know we should beContinue reading “Excuses vs Reasons”

🌞”It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they WILL help us.” – Epicurus I posted this quote in 2009. It’s funny to me how today it was just the quote my soul needed to hear, but then again God aligns my memories like this often soContinue reading “High Quality Friends”
