Owning My Value: A Personal Breakthrough
Yesterday, on a long drive home from a conference with my husband, we found ourselves in one of those deep, soul-level conversations. We started talking about value — the kind we bring to our marriage, to our family, and to those around us.
In that moment, I had an epiphany:
For years, I’ve carried this quiet belief that unless I was making more money, I wasn’t adding value. That belief had become a lens I looked through — in business, in motherhood, in ministry, even in my self-worth.
But God gently corrected that.
I realized I had been seeking value in the wrong context.
I want to share this with you because it marks a turning point for me — and maybe for you, too. I know I’m not alone. I know there are others out there who feel the weight of proving their worth through performance, productivity, or profit. If that’s you, lean in with me for a second.
Here’s what I’m choosing to believe now:
I already have value. Not because of anything I do, but because Jesus gave His life for me. That truth doesn’t need to be earned or achieved — it just is.
And from that place of knowing, I can show up fully in my relationships, my calling, my creativity, and my service — not to prove myself, but to radiate the truth that’s already been planted within me.
God has gifted me with unique talents and life experiences — and so many of them are not tied to a paycheck. I am choosing to own my value so I can be a magnetic presence, multiply what I’ve been given, and live from a place of wholeness.
This isn’t about striving anymore.
It’s about stewarding what’s already been placed inside me.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Am I enough?” or “What am I really bringing to the table?” — hear this loud and clear:
You don’t have to prove your value. You already have it.
Walk in it. Own it. Let it overflow into every corner of your life.
📖 Scripture Reflection:
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
— Luke 12:6–7 (NIV)
Let this verse remind you: your value is not in what you do, but in who you are — deeply known, remembered, and treasured by God.

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can feel daunting. However, embracing a few fundamental practices can make a significant difference in how we feel and live. Here are some simple yet effective steps to enhance your well-being:
1. Move Your Body Daily
Physical activity is crucial for circulation, detoxification, and overall longevity. Aim for 7,000-10,000 steps daily and incorporate stretching and resistance training a few times a week. Pay attention to your posture to avoid tech-neck, and consider chiropractic care to maintain alignment.
2. Hydrate & Mineralize
Proper hydration is vital for preventing fatigue and brain fog. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day, and consider adding electrolytes or trace minerals. Reducing caffeine and sugary drinks can also help improve hydration levels.
3. Eat Whole, Real Foods
Nourish your body with nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed meats, organic vegetables, healthy fats, and clean proteins. Cut back on processed foods and refined sugars, and prioritize protein intake to support muscle building and metabolism.
4. Sleep & Recover
Quality sleep is essential for healing and hormonal balance. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and establish a bedtime routine free from screens. This consistency will help your body recover and rejuvenate.
5. Breathe & Manage Stress
Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on health. Incorporate deep breathing techniques like the 4-7-8 method, and practice gratitude and prayer to manage stress. Limit your exposure to negativity to maintain a positive outlook.
6. Reduce Toxic Load
Everyday toxins can drain energy and compromise the immune system. Use non-toxic household cleaners and personal care products, and filter your water and air to minimize exposure to pollutants.
7. Build Your Health Team
Surrounding yourself with supportive individuals is key to a healthy lifestyle. Regular chiropractic care and a holistic approach to wellness can provide the foundation you need. Building a community that inspires and motivates can make your wellness journey more enjoyable.
