Some of the things I am writing about are some of the things that will be in my book. Love is a very pure thing, a give and take equally thing. Both people have the same interest in the relationship, without manipulation and lies.
Sometimes a person can be very manipulative in your life and keep calling you their best friend, or whatever until you think they are your best friend. This is not love, this is manipulation and codependency. This is a distraction from someone that is needy.
Im not saying to just ditch this person, I’m saying to make sure there are proper boundaries in place so they don’t steal your identity. How would I know about this? It has happened to me. I’m onto it now, though.
My personality is one that God gave me and the enemy would like to distract me and get me to a place where I’m not sure who I am. Of course friendships and relationships are a wonderful gift from God, but if someone is being controlling and manipulative it is not a gift at all.
That’s why it’s so important to speak into children’s lives about who they are. If they learn very early who they are they won’t stray far from it. Trauma can taint who we are. Especially trauma not dealt with in our life.
Everyone is redeemable and changeable! With God ALL things are possible!! We have to be teachable, moldable, and pliable. When we are those things, we can grow, change, and flourish.
That is good material for a good friend or spouse or anything in our life. Are they teachable, moldable, and pliable? Then you can work together with each other with honor for one another. The place that I have learned to do this the most is at recovery meetings.
My goal is to bring those principles into the church. It could make people understand how to walk in unity more and honor one another’s differences!! That’s what God wants. He wants us all to be unique individuals walking together, hearing each other’s voices, listening, taking what you can from each person and respecting how different they are from you.
In a dysfunctional world, everything that comes out of your mouth is debated. There is a way to disagree that is right, but not to a place where your voice is silenced. That is control, if your voice is silenced. That is what the enemy is after.
Last fall I went to the desert for 6 weeks and got my voice restored. I don’t believe my voice will ever get silenced again because I am onto the enemies tactics. I am so grateful to be moving on to my destiny and helping others along the way!!
Let your voice be heard! Not in a destructive way, you might need more pruning if it comes out too aggressive, but in a loving, truthful way.
Keep growing and learning❤

Don’t force your will❤
No manipulation❤
God Rules❤
See ya’ll soon❤
