The Ruby Root

Sometimes it is difficult to give yourself permission to grow and thrive. Often, we encourage others to do it, but giving permission to the one in the mirror is harder.

It is okay to outgrow the patterns that once helped you survive. It is okay to have had those patterns. And you deserve to let them go when you don’t need them.

You can build new patterns. This is the growth you deserve.

Some days you’re strong. Some days you’re just tired.

And frankly, both are okay.

Wherever you are, take time to connect with others. We need community and relationships to heal and thrive.

If you need help doing this, let’s talk. Let’s heal. One conversation at a time.

The intention of Forgiveness is not to pretend it didn’t hurt. So, what is?

Forgiveness is choosing not to carry the hurt with you forever.

So don’t be alarmed if you need someone to walk with you through it.

There are no shortages of places to go to talk. Or people you may be able to talk to. As a Christian counselor, I’ve seen first hand the benefits people experience by simply talking…no expectations other than to show up and share what’s on their hearts.

There’s a place for conversations like this.

Healing doesn’t always look like progress.

Sometimes it looks like:
• saying no
• setting a boundary
• finally saying what hurt

Small steps still count. Jesus asks us to follow but never said you could do it perfectly.

So go ahead and take the next step. You - and your loved ones - deserve it.

Knowing that you’re “too nervous to talk” is a great place to start. We hear it every week in sessions. We don’t have to have the right words to begin healing and recovery. If we did, we could heal ourselves.

Show up. That’s enough. And so are you.

Some seasons don’t make sense while you’re in them. You just wake up… and keep going.

If that’s you today, know that you’re not alone. And consider this to be an invitation to say the hard parts out loud.

What lies are you believing? Cover them with Gods truth!

When I compare my negative thoughts to God's Word, the differences amaze me:

I think, I’m lost.
God’s Word says He watches my paths and establishes my ways (Proverbs 5:21; Proverbs 4:26).

I think, No one loves me.
God’s Word says He loves me more than life (John 3:16).

I think, I’m ugly.
God’s Word says I’m wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

I think, I’m alone, and no one understands me.
God’s Word says He will never leave me and He has plans for my life (Deuteronomy 31:6; Jeremiah 29:11).

I think, I’m just not good enough.
God’s Word says I was created in His image (Genesis 1:26-27).

Truth:
Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
