"Forgive yourself for not being superwoman. You can always find ways to help, serve, or contribute. They may not be the most valiant or noteworthy, but they're still helpful. Give yourself grace to do what you can, where you are, with what you have. God created billions of other amazing people with gifts and callings; you don't have to carry the entire weight of the world on your own."
-Emily Ley, Grace Not Perfection

"Forgiveness allows us to be fully present in this moment,
right here, right now. Forgiveness enables us to wholeheartedly embrace what is
and to be at peace with our past and fully engaged with the present. Making
peace with our past is the most immediate way we can experience the abundance
that is our birthright. Without forgiveness there is always something pulling
us out of alignment with ourselves and with life; it is an energy drain in our
system.
Until we have made perfect peace with all that has occurred
in our life, and with all the people who have played a part in it, we deny
ourselves the full richness of our true abundance. Forgiveness is a gift we
give to ourselves. It frees up the energy we had invested in making another, or
ourselves, wrong. Ultimately, forgiveness is letting go of the illusion that
something actually ever went wrong." - TJ Woodward

Trust- "assured reliance, truth, dependence."
What does trust mean to you?
Trust comes in many forms-
I trust that my paycheck will go into my bank account every 2 weeks.
I trust alarm will go off in the morning.
I trust that my credit card information will not be sent out across the world for anyone to see when I purchase items online.
I trust that my family loves me and will be there to support me even when times are bad.
I trust my car will start when I want to leave.
I trust I will make the right decisions concerning my future and where I am in life right now.
Trust is something I have had difficulty with for years. I've had alot of let downs from friends ditching me, employers not keeping their word about job opportunites, and definitely a lack of trust in my previous marriage. It is something that is easy to lose but takes threefold the effort to gain back once lost. Some people lie, cheat, and steal and I honestly wonder if most people feel guilty about it? It is hard to forgive and forget but sometimes that is what we must do. I am working on taking a leap of faith and trying not to doubt others.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
