We mess up! We fail! We struggle! We hurt! We lash out, but it’s because we are HUMAN! God still adores you and he doesn’t limit you access to the Kingdom because of your shortcomings! That’s why HE died for all of our SINS! Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. #getyourfaithup #godlovesyou #believer #bibleverse #grace #save #loveconquers #youareprecious #beinspired #beempowered #beuplifted #beencouraged #spiritualawakening #spiritualjourney #spiritualgrowth #inspirationalquotes #getyourfaithup (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QD3j7lgyt/?igshid=f202jynl4kub

They say that you are the average of the 5 people that you associate with the most. If this is the case, then it's vital that you take a close look at the people that you keep in your life. ➡️ Now, before we get ahead of ourselves, I'm not going to recommend that you cut anybody out of your life completely. Instead, I want you to think about the people closest to you, and I want you to think about the person you are when that person is around. Do you find yourself always abandoning your goals around a certain person? Do you find yourself taking unnecessary risks, or doing things that are against your personal values? ➡️ The people around us make us who we are. If the person you spend most of your time with is a person that makes you want to go against your goals, then it's important to seriously reconsider the relationship. You can have a conversation with that person, reduce the time you spend with them, or cut them out of your life if that's what necessary. Once the relationship stops being beneficial for the both of you, it's time to reshape things. ➡️ Instead of these toxic relationships, focus on building relationships with people that have similar mindsets to you. People who are inspired, motivated, and passionate will rub off on you, and you'll find yourself more driven than ever before. 💕💕 ➡️ Follow PositiveSelfImprovement for daily self improvement posts 💕💕

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I just wanted to bring a little awareness on something I've struggled with my whole life. A few months ago I was really going through a rough bout of depression and realizing that I was turning 30 soon and no where near where I'd thought I'd be in life at this time. This is why support systems are so important, to have family and friends who are always willing to talk and understand me even when I'm being my most difficult self. I am proud to say I saw being 30 in a whole new way today. I was encouraged by it, like I've graduated to a whole new chapter of my life bringing me closer to my goals. So if you're going through a difficult time and are thinking of skipping to the end of your book, please stop for a minute and think. Contact someone, anyone including myself, and just talk/be encouraged by others. The ending of a book is anticlimactic without the trials and struggles that have gone before. Continue to allow your story to unfold, and I'll be eager to see where it goes! #grateful #thankyouall #itwasagreatbirthday #30yearsold #augustbirthday #depressionawareness #dontskiptotheend #letyourstoryunfold #beencouraged #motivationalposts #happyleo #leobirthday #leoseason #imchoosinglife #agoodday #talktosomeoneyoutrust #theresalwayshelp #depressionisreal #wecangetthroughthis #iloveyouall #lifeisgood #birthdaywishes #30andproud https://www.instagram.com/p/B0r--h8H-ka/?igshid=m4ldxdwc27v2
