How to Find Peace in Goodbye

How to Find Peace in Goodbye

Is it hard for you to find peace when you need to say goodbye? For all of my life, I’ve struggled with change, and goodbyes can be tough for me.

If you grow up with a daddy wound, like I did as a child of divorce, goodbye might just be your least favorite word. But our lives sometimes require goodbyes, and we must learn to face them without being overcome by sadness and anxiety.

I’ve clung to a special scripture when I need to say goodbye, and I’m sharing about it over at Woman 2 Woman Ministries today. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.

Are you thankful in all things, even your limitations? God calls us to be thankful people even in our challenges. I’ve learned to thank him in challenging situations like my limitations that won’t go away.

A few of my limitations that challenge me to be thankful:

  • Low energy
  • Financial restrictions
  • Lack of athletic ability

When Your Sense of Worth is Tied to Production

Are you a high achiever who secretly ties her sense of worth to production? I am. I know many of my readers struggle with feeling like they have to perform to earn love. That’s been my story for most of my life.

This constant performance is exhausting. No matter how hard I try (and boy, do I try hard!), I always feel a little empty inside. I think, “If I could just produce that one other thing, I will feel good about myself.” When that goal is accomplished, I immediately pursue another goal, since the emptiness remains.

If you relate to this inner struggle, I understand you, friend. The good news is that God can set us free from that struggle. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I’ll always be tempted to think my worth is tied to production. Yet God has shown me that my worth lies in him, not in how much I produce. I’d love to help you learn that lesson.

I’m writing about how we can untie our sense of worth from production at W2W Ministries today. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.

How is the Holy Spirit working in your life? Every day, I’m eager to watch how he will weave details together to show me his will.

Watching the Holy Spirit work is exciting. He uses Bible readings, conversations with Christian friends, songs, sermons and Christian books to shape my spiritual journey. I am always finding new surprises in my faith based on how the Holy Spirit is working.

He is at work in your life too, friend. I’d love to hear how you see his work in the comments below.
