Fear

 Fear of abandonment isn't the fear 

of being alone.

It's the fear of disappearing.

Because with attachment trauma,

your sense of self never developed

outside of a relationship.

A sign

GOD IS GIVING YOU A SIGN

RIGHT NOW READ IN SILENCE

See Isaiah 43:19

Everything is going to be alright.

God is making a way for you right now.

Don't give up. You are going to make it, no

matter what it looks like right now. God is

working behind the scenes for your good.

He didn't bring you this far to leave you.

Be ready, something you prayed for is about to

happen this April.

Have faith! And you won't have to fight.

God can do a lot in just 3 days.

He will move the wrong people out of the way.

He'll open the door that you couldn't open and

turn the situation around.

If you trust Him, put "Amen" and share this

with someone who needs encouragement.

Dear God, please open doors for the person who puts a sincere "Amen" and passes this along.

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; not it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

What you see

What you see: A rejection letter

What God sees: A divine exit from a path that would have drained your spirit.

What you see: A quiet Friday night alone.

What God sees: A sacred window for you to finally hear your own voice again.

What you see: Your silent tears and whispered prayers.

What God sees: The honest surrender he has been waiting to hold.

What you see: Being "behind" your peers

What God sees: Being perfectly positioned for a breakthrough you aren't prepared for yet.

Enough faith

 That I may have enough faith to

stand in the middle of the

mess, at the lowest point in the

valley, and say,

"God, I trust that You will make a way."

This is the prayer I will pray as I walk

through uncertainty and unrest.

Consistent behavior

My therapist told me,

"An overthinking 

woman doesn't want

constant reassurance,

she wants consistent

behavior so her mind

can finally stop

expecting the worst." 

Your fear

Your fear says: You're falling behind.

God's truth: You're exactly where you need to be.

Your fear says: You've missed your chance.

God's truth: My timing is never late.

Your fear says: You're too broken to be used.

God's truth: Your brokenness is your credibility.

Your fear says: Everyone else is moving forward except you.

God's truth: Stop comparing timelines. Your story is different because your assignment is different.

Your fear says: You're being punished.

God's truth: You're being prepared.

Your fear says: It's never going to happen for you.

God's truth: I'm working behind the scenes in ways you can't see yet.

Your fear says: You're alone in this.

God's truth: I have never left you. I never will.

Birthday blues

 I don't think I have ADHD but can definitely relate as my birthday nears...

People with ADHD often get birthday

blues because they want the day to

matter but feel uncomfortable asking

for attention, so they say they don't

really care about their birthday while

secretly hoping someone makes it feel

special.

Many adults with ADHD report experiencing what is often called "birthday blues", a pattern where

birthdays bring a mix of strong emotions rather than simple enjoyment.

This is linked to core ADHD traits like emotional intensity, overthinking, and rejection sensitivity (often referred to as RSD), which can make the day feel high-pressure and personally meaningful.

They may deeply want the day to feel special or to be remembered by others, but at the same time feel anxious about asking for attention, planning celebrations, or risking disappointment if expectations aren't met.

This inner conflict often leads to a protective response where they downplay their birthday or say it doesn't matter, even though they still hope for acknowledgement or effort from others.
