i have come to believe the negative words spoken over me. or believed what others felt towards me by their actions and have embodied them. now, it’s time to renew my mind & how i view myself with a new set of affirmations.

i have become accustomed to beating myself up internally. when i would make a mistake, or i didn’t live up to my potential i would get down on myself which would spiral me into a deep depression. these days, i’m practicing grace & positive self talk utilizing my affirmations. being careful to remind myself that what we think, we start to feel & believe.

”Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.“ - Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭

staying connected to Yah through his word & seeking His wisdom is what feeds me & keeps me going. allowing His word to penetrate my heart, then to take root to produce the Fruit of the Spirit.

“they can take your food, your land, your homes, seize all you have. but what they can’t take away is your Faith.” - paraphrased from the movie prince of Egypt spoken by Moses.

”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,“ - Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬ ‭

This is a reminder to not take on more than i can bare. don’t say yes, when i mean no. to know that i do have limits, and that doesn’t make me a bad person. i don’t have to run myself into the ground in order to “prove” my love. to let my no, be a no. to let others know what my boundaries are & uphold consequences if they aren’t being respected. to not carry the weight of other peoples perceptions on my shoulders. to know what to carry & what to give to The Most High.

I’m More Than Just A Mother 💐

risamarie1994 — 2023-12-28 00:11:04 UTC

I struggled with postpartum depression after having my daughter. i put myself on hold & stopped taking care of myself the way i did & realized i no longer was being creative. all of which fuel me & make me happy. yes, i am a mother. yes, my children depend on me. but, i cannot be the best me if i don’t nurture myself.

my life may not look like it used to pre - motherhood. i still need to make time to love on my temple & be a good steward over my gifts & talents. i won’t be able to do all that’s listed, everyday. i can give myself 20 minutes a day (at least) to take a mental / emotional break as a way to keep going throughout the day.

Outlets i enjoy:

crocheting
making youtube videos
coloring
dancing
going for a walk
journaling
reading
learning new skills
baking
going to the craft store
taking a nap
spending time alone

A Piece of Encouragement ✨

risamarie1994 — 2023-12-28 00:29:45 UTC

one way the enemy has tricked me, and got my mind to go against my own self.. is to convince me that i am my mistakes. i will have an amazing week or two & when i fall short, i would hyper focus on where i messed up. proverbs 24:16 is a reminder that yes, i may fall… but i get up. i repent, i ask for my heart to be changed, i face the uncomfortable head on, i’m asking for my heart to be searched.

it’s almost like that phase your hair goes through when you chop it off & it’s seems like it’s been the same length for months, when really it’s growing. then once it’s out of the awkward stage you see how much growth actually took place & all of a sudden you realize your hair LONG! lol.

growth isn’t always linear. as long as i don’t stumble & coward to what’s supposed to make me grow i’m not the mistake. but the woman who chooses to get up daily.

i might be a small flower, those roots are growing & getting strong though. planted thoroughly & will NOT be uprooted.
