This is very true and timely!
Be gentle with yourself. #Deconstruction is intense and takes time. But it's good. You're growing. It hurts. I commend your courage. Keep going. You will find peace and happiness and feel normal again... but a new kind of normal. A better kind of normal.🧡

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.

Pastors are not therapists.
Pastors need therapists.
Pastors can provide encouragement, empathy, spiritual guidance and much more, but we cannot provide therapy.
Just like we shouldn't pretend to be medical doctors, we shouldn't pretend to be mental health professionals.

Kindness to others is like a gentle beam of sunshine - it brightens the moment and leaves behind a hint of a rainbow for someone else to carry forward.
Be the rainbow. 🌈🧡

1. Despite a very disrupted journey with 4 trains, mostly either standing or seats facing backwards, and being on the edge of a panic attack for much of it, I was only 30mins later than scheduled.
2. A hug with my youngest
3. A fire in the wood burner
