For some of us, it’s time to “get over it” and “move on” from the past.
Let me explain...
It’s easy to get stuck looking in the rearview mirror- gazing in the reasons WHY you can’t move forward...
If some of the clutter in your past was your fault,...
It's a given that it takes time to learn to ride a bike, bake a cake, or even do a bit of public speaking. What's odd, though, is that we don't often extend that same grace to learn when it comes to matters of the Spirit.

It’s easy to look at our own pain, compare the cause of it to someone else’s story, then think, “Hmm… I’m crazy to be feeling like this over what’s happened to me. I’ve got it better than most people. Who am I to complain?”
