Making Progress! 9/90🙌🏻🤍✝️

I’m so excited with the progress I’ve made!✝️ I know 9 days is just the beginning, but really this time around has been much smoother. I think part of it has been I was really giving into the addiction and victim mentality of it- commonly thinking: “It’s just so unfair I have to struggle with this, alone, in my early 20’s. If XXX hadn’t happened to me, if I wasn’t exposed so traumatically at a young age, if my parents did more, if my stress was lower” etc, etc, etc…… I could easily make 10 very good excuses- my brain and little wicked heart is good at it. Lol But I’m choosing to embrace the struggle. :) We’re told repeatedly in scripture that our trials will be hard: "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 And "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." James 1:2-3 I’m choosing to embrace this, count it joy, Christ has already won this war, we must simply remain faithful. 🤍 - - - - - - - - - - - - Praying for each of my brothers and sisters in Christ: Robert, Michael(s), Mikayla, and Logan. You guys have been such an encouragement to keep Christ at the center of this, and I’ll forever be grateful we met at this time. Stand strong, friends. ✝️
