“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.“ When you are in need of something, is your first thought, “I need to pour out right now“? Why […]

Hypervigilance and Hyper-Responsibility aren’t gifts to be celebrated. They’re curses to be broken. “I’ve always had to take care of myself.” “If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.” “I learned from a very young age how to be self-sufficient.

Press play anyways, Pumpkin! This one’s gonna be good. I’m sure you’ve heard: “Jesus is enough. He’s all you need. There’s no ‘Jesus AND.’ It’s just Jesus.” Am I right? You’ve heard this, yeah?
