I, Mukkove, give myself permission to do what is best for me and treat myself like someone I like and value. Today this is about eating for what works best for my body. I know ot applies to other areas too. I also know the smaller the shift I focus on the more successful I will be. Do you need a permission slip today? Write one in the comments.

I have many poems that I have written that is now time to get out there. It will, for now, be a small coffee table book and would like to ask you where I can order it? Thank you in advance

Join me in about an hour. I'd love to talk to you and hear how you're doing. The link is at the top of the group and on the calendar.

What can you give thanks for today? I'm deeply grateful for the kindness of the Lord and all the lessons He is teaching me. I appreciate my family and each of you ❤️

You see other people change and live well-adjusted lives, but it doesn't work for you. On the outside, things look good. People look up to you. Inside, you're sure you're defective, and no one would understand. I understand. I've felt like I was the problem, the broken piece in every equation. I learned it wasn't me. I was given bad information and a lack of skills needed to live the abundant life Jesus lived and died for me to have. I didn't need to try harder. I needed to try different. I needed practice. Practice believing God wasn't frustrated with me or disappointed in me. Practice accepting He loved me because He chose to, and that would never change. Practice loving myself as God loves me, so I can love others and not just try to appease them so they will love me. The longer I walk this road with the Lord, the more I see His gentleness, His kindness, His patience. He wants a relationship with me more than He wants me to change. The beautiful thing is that as I build a relationship with Him, I am changed.
