Here is what is very obvious to me: when I want to cope, check out of life, take a break: I heart media.

One gal in the group has chosen to purchase everything second hand for the next year. Another has chosen to not purchase any new clothes for the next 6 months.

There are things we can do in our day-to-day to serve others and thus serve God. But until we are more aware, it isn’t going to happen.

And I believe that based on our stories and where our heart has broken, at some point, we get the opportunity to turn around and serve others going through a similar situation.

I am so thankful to have the resources to be able to purchase good quality food. I wonder what the pregnant women do in this world, in this state, in this city that go hungry.

Consider the blessings God has bestowed upon you over the last year. Maybe something unexpected.

When we tell the truth, sure, we let go of the outcome…but what we gain in return is well worth it.

He puts us in the cleft of a rock and then places his hand over us in protection.

And when I am in the wilderness, it’s nice to go back and see His faithfulness.

Think of it as issues we’ve decided to dust off and put on the coffee table.

Because whether your marriage continues or whether it ends, God wants us all to be healthy and whole.

You see, although He asked me to let go of my career and follow after His plan for my life, He hasn’t ignored my heart.

I’d just want to tell her that she is worth more. That she is loved. And that a different life is waiting for her when she is ready.

When you are married to a man with a sordid sexual past, who by the grace of God is living a life of integrity, life changes forever.

I realized how precious it is for us to come to a place of true heart-break for others.
