When Pain Comes To Disturb

-
Image
  Disturb comes from the Latin disturbare , meaning “to throw into disorder.” It combines dis- (a prefix meaning “apart” or “away”) and turbare (“to agitate,” “to stir up,” or “to trouble”). So at its root, to disturb means: “to unsettle, interrupt, or cause disorder in something that was once calm or stable.” In everyday use, it can mean: To interfere with peace or rest (e.g., “Don’t disturb her while she’s praying.”) To interrupt a natural process (e.g., “Pain disturbs the body’s balance.”) To agitate the mind or emotions (e.g., “That news disturbed me deeply.”)   Disturbance is the state or result of being disturbed — the condition of unrest, agitation, or imbalance that follows an interruption. It can refer to: Physical disturbance: shaking, discomfort, or disruption of normal bodily functions Emotional disturbance: inner turmoil, anxiety, distress Spiritual disturbance: loss of peace, confusion, or separation from inner stillness   Pain —...

I'm Shifting From Survival Mode to Healing Awareness

-


I've come to a sacred point in my journey where survival no longer defines me. The fight to simply make it through the day is begining to soften, and my body whispers for something more: healing.

Shifting from survival mode into awareness is not always easy. My mind still wants to keep going, to hustle, to prove. Yet my body — this vessel that has carried me through pain, stress, and storms — is asking for rest. And rest is not weakness. It is not laziness. Rest is holy. Its sacred, even God rested.

Scripture reminds us in Matthew 11:28 that Jesus calls us to lay down our burdens and find rest in Him. That rest is an act of trust — a declaration that we no longer need to carry it all alone. Consider how long you’ve held the weight of responsibility, worry, and past wounds. In this new season of transformation, compassion must replace criticism, and intention must replace survival.

Stand with yourself, not against yourself. Rest without guilt. Move forward with grace. Healing is not just about doing more, but about becoming more aligned with God’s care for you. Trust that as you honor your body, mind, and spirit, He is renewing you day by day. 

 

 Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Affirmation

💭 I honor my body with rest, compassion, and intention. I release guilt and embrace the healing process God is guiding me through.

When the body shifts from survival mode into deeper awareness of healing, a new season begins. Paying attention to the body is essential now — honoring rest without guilt, remembering how long you’ve carried it all.

This is a time to embrace compassion toward yourself, to soften into grace, and to stand firmly in intention. Transformation requires both rest and resolve, gentleness and strength. 

I Trust the process — healing is unfolding. ✨

 

 

 ✨ Note to My Community ✨

I want to share something from my heart with you. After this week, I will be taking an intentional rest from posting here. My mind and body are asking for more space to heal and recharge, and I want to honor that without guilt.

This is not goodbye — just a pause. I believe that rest is holy, and it allows us to return more whole, more grounded, and more present. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

In the meantime, remember: your healing matters, your rest matters, you matter. 💚

I’ll see you soon, refreshed and ready.

With gratitude,
@imattercomm

Overcoming Anxiety Is Possible

  Anxiety can be overwhelming, but through faith, meditation, and self-awareness, it’s possible to cultivate peace and resilience. These three elements work together to help you navigate uncertainty, release fear, and reconnect with your inner strength. 1. Strengthening Faith Faith is a powerful anchor in the midst of anxiety. It allows you to trust in a higher power, release control over what you cannot change, and find comfort in divine guidance.  Here’s how to deepen your faith to combat anxiety: Daily Prayer & Scripture – Speak with God regularly and meditate on scriptures that offer peace and reassurance (e.g., Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 41:10). Surrender Your Worries – Practice letting go of what troubles you by verbally giving your burdens to God. Trust the Process – Remind yourself that challenges are temporary, and God’s plan for you is greater than your current fears. 2.
