There are Bible verses; however, if you are uncomfortable with reading them, you can skip over them or just negate the entire post. I promise, it&#8217;s fine! So, without further ado, here we go!!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;There is no greater gift we can give another person than allowing them to be who they are, not who we may want them to be.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;So much effort goes into trying to be perfect. How much more attractive are vulnerability and imperfection?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;It&#8217;s tiring wanting things in the mind to be different than what they are.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;We are not our thoughts. We are not our emotions. If we can learn to experience them in this way, then we are free.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If we&#8217;re always trying to escape difficult emotions, how can we understand them? Mindfulness is to be at ease with the mind, as it is.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;We do not have to slow down to be mindful. Simply to be present for each and every moment is enough.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Bless those who persecute you. (Romans 12: 14)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If someone only loves you for gain, it isn&#8217;t really love.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Love is most evident when you&#8217;re in your worst state.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8221; Maybe not everything needs a cure.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Life is unmanageable, but share it with ones you love.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;&#8230;forget what lies behind and focus on what lies ahead. (Philippians 3:13-14)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3)&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope these help you! May you stay safe and well in this drowsy weather and may you find peace in a time of emotional imbalance. And remember, I am always open to talk. Even if it&#8217;s about nothing at all. I am always open to sit and talk with whoever needs me. Just email me at azya.lyons@msabrookhaven.org. Have a good day, and be safe!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Azya &lt;3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, recently the energy at MSA has been different.
