Week 22: Contempt

Contempt breeds pain.

Contempt breeds heartache, frustration, sadness, and anger

Week 21: Guilt

Forgiving ourselves must take place to move beyond feelings of shame and guilt. Forgiving ourselves and overcoming self-criticism, self-destructing behaviors (alcohol or food as a way of deadening emotions), self-sabotage (continuing lousy behavior, starting fights), believing you do not deserve good things, and releasing these feelings is essential for us to move on.

Week 20: Peace

Psalm 91:1 tells us that “those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” God tells us over and over again where to find rest. In His shadow, in His loving arms, in His presence.

We focus on being everything to everyone – the perfect mom, wife, partner, employee. We lose ourselves and sacrifice who we are in the process. When anything threatens our image of perfection or when something feels out of control, we lose it and rage.

I am the ego driven Jezebel. I am her, and she is me. So how do I realize this, recognize it, and release it?

We have a new chapter in which to write in our stories. We’re not done yet. We can bring back the hope of Solomon by asking for wisdom and guidance from the Lord, writing a new chapter in our lives.

Chosen, selected, wanted. Those words are so special and their meaning. When we speak of being chosen as people, we understand this to mean above all others we are selected. Or, with other options available we stood out.
