THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS

The Power of Your Words

What we say has power. Whether it's self talk in the privacy of your own head or if it's words spoken out loud into the atmosphere. The bible talks a lot about the power of the tongue. And that it can bring blessing or curse, life or death.

What are you affirming to?

One of the biggest problems that we women and girls have today is that we curse ourselves with negative talk...
​The problem usually starts from an outside influence. It could be someone that has authority in our lives, the media or simply a situation that happened that formed an opinion in our own minds and hearts. Then we take that negativity and speak it to ourselves over and over, often for years long. It becomes a part of us as it embeds itself into our hearts and souls.

Rejection

​As a young girl, I struggled with having no sense of belonging. I was adopted as a baby by older parents that didn't display, really, any emotional affection. The feeling of rejection was already hard at work in my life throughout the years. And then having a family that didn't hug, kiss or say a simple “I love you”, added to the growing pain. Not speaking at all can also play a negative role in a person's life.

Rebellion

​As I grew into a teen and into a young lady, the rejection turned into rebellion and a long history of bad choices including, substance abuse, bad jobs and abusive relationships. I knew that the things I was doing was not right. But the rejection and unworthiness that was so implanted within me, kept me trapped in the unhappy life I was accustomed to.

Renewal

It was years and a long process before I was able to remove all of the negative things from my heart and my mind that I had convinced myself I was. Once I came face to face with Jesus and realized who I REALLY am through him, my transition and renewal began. One thing that really helped me was to read about others that had been through similar hardships. The book, "Beauty for Ashes" by Joyce Meyer, is a book I would highly recommend. The beginning of actual transformation, took the power of positive words to rewire my mind, heart and soul! What I found that helped me the most, was to write down phrases and bible verses and keep them out in the open so that I could see them and speak them daily. I posted things like, you are beautiful, you are special, you are worthy, Psalm 139:14. These are all things that God says we are! After all, we were created in his image and are his workmanship! Gen. 1:27, Eph. 2:10.
​

Speaking positive words

It was a process, but the daily affirmations that I was speaking out loud and to myself, really did work! And therefore the discovery of the power of daily affirmations prompted me to create a bracelet that is not only exquisite but also serves as a reminder, as you wear it daily to speak positive words into your life.
