you don’t have to be happy all the time to be a hero. you don’t always have to be kind and forgiving, you don’t have to push yourself to be positive. allow yourself to feel and deal with emotions even if they’re “bad”. allow yourself to learn and grow from how you feel.

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to tell yourself “I don’t have to be strong right now because God is strong.”

heyo! a friend of mine, @igetanxiousoverusernames, has recently joined tumblr and she is looking for fellow Christians to follow! she’d prefer blogs that post some specifically Christian content (doesn’t have to be exclusively that but it should be present) and people who are encouraging in regards to mental illness.

as I usually do with these things, I’ll start off by tagging a handful of friends, mutuals, and others who I think are neat and fit the bill. feel free to raise your hand by reblogging or tag others you know, and give our sister in Christ a warm welcome. 💜

(she is also into Lord of the Rings and Queen’s Thief, if that helps anyone!)

i’m going to be okay. i’m going to make it. i’m going to live in a clean little home with someone i love and a big fern plant. i’m gonna have a cat and make cookies at midnight. i’m going to thrive and have wonderful experiences that make me smile until i ache. i’m going to be okay, it’s all going to be okay.

“Jesus is a lot of wonderful and amazing things, but one thing He is not: He is not made in your image. You are made in His image.”

— Judah Smith

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

Pregnancy Resources for women in Georgia and Alabama:

Embrace Grace is a church-based organization that allows single mothers to prepare for new lives with their babies and seek support among fellow women. There are several participating churches with this program in both GA and AL. https://embracegrace.com/find-a-group/find-a-group/

Birthright International is a secular branch of pregnancy resource centers who offer consultation services, referrals for aid and other forms of help for free, and I found several in GA and AL. They have a 24/7 crisis hotline and search function for finding centers in your area on their front page. https://birthright.org/

Sista Midwife is a black birth advocacy group that catalogues practicing midwives, doulas, and wellness practitioners of color around the US. There were PAGES of results for GA and AL. Because medical treatment of black mothers is poor especially in the south, any of these ladies can help you get the care you need and also help you find needed resources. https://www.sistamidwife.com/

Birth Without Fear is a fantastic all around birth community, made up of women from all backgrounds and challenges. They provide positive birth stories, share support and advice, and there are several support groups in Facebook as well. They have a website (birthwithoutfearblog.com) and also have an active public page on Facebook.

Get Your Care has a fantastic US map of where to find federally qualified health clinics and other places for women in crisis pregnancies. You can check them out here: getyourcare.org

And feel free to search this blog as well, with all kinds of informational and resource-based posts for people wanting to know their options and rights as parents.

Some of these resources are pro-life, others are not. But all of them have a passion for helping women and their children find the care and support that they need. If this makes you angry, feel free to scroll on and make your own post about it. 👍🏼
