Healing isn’t just about time—it’s about environment. You can’t keep standing in the smoke and expect your lungs to clear. It’s hard to grow in the same soil that poisoned you. Hard to find peace while still performing. Hard to change when everything around you demands you stay the same. But Jesus never said healing would be passive. He said, “Pick up your mat and walk.” Movement matters. So does courage—the kind that steps away from comfort toward transformation. If it feels hard, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’re trying to break free. And that… is holy ground. (fb)

Family is where our deepest love is born—and often where our deepest wounds begin. We inherit more than eye color and traditions; we carry the echoes of words said and unsaid, of comfort given or withheld. But here’s the truth: pain that’s ignored becomes legacy. And healing that’s pursued becomes blessing—not just for you, but for those who come after. The love of family is life’s greatest blessing not because it’s always easy, but because when it's redeemed, it shows the clearest picture of grace. So don’t settle for survival. Seek healing. For your sake, for theirs, for all of us. (fb)
