You Can Trust God to Write Your Story

I know I’ve definitely had friend struggles over the past several years, and sometimes it seemed like having authentic, godly friends was an impossible task. That’s why I was SO excited when I heard about Kelly Needham’s new book Friendish.

Sick of Me

You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough. You are strong. You are victorious. You got this. Live your best life. Believe in yourself. Care for yourself.

Sound familiar? These messages are preached to us all the time, especially in Christian circles. While these sayings are partially true, they all have one major problem. They’re all focused on YOU!
