The feeling of guilt from disentangling from others’ toxicity does not mean you are doing something wrong but are doing something brave. -Dr. Alison Cook

“The one who always listens to me will live undisturbed in a heavenly peace. Free from fear, confident and courageous, that one will rest unafraid and sheltered from the storms of life.”

If you are going through a storm, make time and space to listen to God. Not just talk to Him. Listen.

Fight-style trauma often looks like narcissism, but is actually terror of vulnerability. The attachment belief is “If I’m not in control, I won’t survive.” The narcissist’s need for security destroys relationships and him/herself. If you are in a narcissistic relationship, consider how you can get safety, support, and space to heal from the effects of another’s unhealed wounds.

I help Christian women heal in AL, FL, NV, and GA (soon!). Happy to schedule a free consultation….

“You cannot conquer an enemy you’re unwilling to face.” -Pastor Trent Cory Hope City United Church

You don’t return insults.
You confront darkness.
You don’t answer noise with noise.
You answer with reverence.

You don’t drag names through the mud.
You carry them into holy ground and let truth speak.
Approval was never the assignment.
Obedience was.

You aren’t led by pride.
You’re governed by purpose.
You could escalate.
You could retaliate.
You refuse.

Not from weakness,
but from awareness.
You know who you are.
You understand the weight you carry.

This isn’t pettiness. It’s precision.
This isn’t bitterness. It’s refinement.
This isn’t silence for appearances.
It’s authority exercised on your knees.

Jesus already settled it.
The war was never personal.
You don’t spar with faces.
You contend for souls.
You speak life where death tried to win.
You call out freedom where shame tried to root.
You establish peace where chaos demanded control.

This is mature faith.
Not passive... but positioned.
You didn’t vanish.
You shifted realms.

Fight on, Warrior-
You know to Whom you belong.

The devil fears a soul in union with God. -John Eldredge

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28

The Hebrew translation of 2026 denotes “to kill, slay, or put to death”. Growth doesn’t always resemble addition; it sometimes resembles the removal of what is not serving you well. What do you need to renounce, lay down, walk away from, and not return to?

Honor the law of the Sabbath by taking a full day to rest from work and stress. Pray, study your Bible, take communication, spend time with family, and engage in self care. Limit news, social media, texts, emails, stressful situations, and difficult people.

“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬ ‭
