I want to learn how to be more thankful for what I am, than guilty for what I'm not.

Remember, the Devil loves to make us focus on the little that's wrong so we miss the big picture of all that's right.

You have the exact qualities God knew your kids would need in a mother. Each day, hold up your willingness and ask God to make you the best version of you that you can possibly be.

You've never gone too far that God can't redeem you, restore you, forgive you, and give you a second chance.

God is mighty. God is caring. God is worthy of praise. God is loving. God is able. God is in control. Nothing takes God by surprise. Some sweet reminders to soak in before falling asleep tonight.
