5.5.23 - Psalm 119:100
What's the first step you need to take to do something different today? Don't wait, don't overthink, just the next first best step.
I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.
While there is a place for respecting our elders there is also a moment where the way things were may not be the best way to continue.
“When you know better, you do better” -Maya Angelou
For me this came up in the generational patterns of abuse in my family. A long time ago I decided I wanted and needed those cycles to end with me.
My personal relationship with God and a community of believers has been a helpful place to find a new path forward.
Buidling my own “roadmap” and value systems with scripture has given me more understanding than my elders could have ever given me.
What has your faith given you? Does it help you reframe self-care? Compassion? Grace?
