As we make our way on this journey from the ashes as God's bold and beloved children, I hereby declare our independence.

Who's ready to have a calm, cool, and collected day filled with peace and joy as we notice, breathe, and treat ourselves with kindness?

God set us free and made a way up and out - the choice is ours to follow Him to freedom.

Today, we choose life; we choose freedom.

Each hurt, disappointment, and frustration feels more like training that has brought us closer to God and equipped us for our purpose.

Your once-upon-a-time story is still unfolding.

Pausing and looking up allows us to behold the beauty around us.

Perhaps our request-filled prayers could shift to humble gratitude and trust-filled expressions of love.

God knows the critical steps necessary to prepare us for what He has planned for our lives.

Each dot in the design of our life serves a great purpose and forms a connection to create a unique, priceless, and breathtaking design.

We are evolving into something new, beautiful, courageous, and powerful.

You have worked through so much and persisted, and here you are on your journey—stronger, braver, and wiser.

God will guide and provide what I need to make it through.

Perhaps now is the time to loosen up and trust God to do some molding and reforming.

God's love never wavers as He continually reminds us of the lessons we need to relearn.

But when we face the hurt, feel the pain, and welcome God's loving light to shine in the darkness, healing happens, and we can finally move on.

Trusting God is in control, I will persevere and be all the wiser for my patience and acceptance of what is.

Choosing to repurpose our habit loops can create new pathways of pleasure and peace.

God is our wise Father, standing beside us, guiding, teaching, encouraging, and supporting us while He patiently waits for us to learn, grow, and find our purpose.

Staying present while en route allows us to see, hear, and feel what God is teaching us on the journey from here to there.
