One thing that has helped me in my healing journeys is disassociation. What do I mean by that? Not pretending the problem isn’t real or doesn’t exist, but seeing myself separate from the sickness.

How Do You Relate?
How do you relate? When you relate to God are you looking at your performance or at your identity? Is it what you do (“I try to be the best person I can be”) or your position in Him where you find your security? I’m not judging you, but we do need to judge ourselves. …
Experiencing the fullness of God

Where are you dwelling?
Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Sometimes people feel that they are showing their “concern, love and support” by staying up on the latest…whether …
