In All Things, Remember Who You Are

BySheryl Artigas

Life has a funny way of pulling us in a million different directions, filling our heads with doubts, expectations, and comparisons. In all that noise, it’s so easy to lose sight of who you really are—your values, your strengths, your purpose.

Remembering your true self means staying rooted in your own truth. It’s about honoring your journey, trusting your gut, and holding on tight to what makes you, well, you. Challenges might try to rattle you, but when you know your worth, no storm can knock you off your path.

In everything you do—big or small—carry your essence with you. Speak your truth, act with integrity, and move forward with confidence. When you keep your identity in mind, every decision becomes clearer, every path feels more aligned, and each day is a chance to live authentically.

Never lose sight of who you are. You are your own guiding star.

  • Entering the New Year with Trust, Not Pressure

    ByAmey

    As I step into this new year, I’m doing so with fewer expectations and a deeper sense of trust.

    Trust in timing—especially the kind that doesn’t follow my plans or deadlines.
    Trust in my own resilience, shaped quietly through moments that didn’t look like progress at the time.
    And trust that what’s meant for me will meet me where I am, not where I’m performing, proving, or striving to be.

    This past year reminded me that becoming isn’t something that happens all at once. It unfolds slowly, often invisibly. Growth happens in pauses, in uncertainty, and in the space between who we were and who we’re learning to be.

    I’ve learned that not everything needs to be rushed or forced into clarity. Some things are meant to arrive when we’re ready to receive them—not when we demand answers.

    So this year, I’m choosing presence over pressure. Alignment over expectation. Trust over control.

    Becoming takes time.
    And that is more than okay—it’s necessary.

  • The Pain of Yesterday Is the Strength of Today

    ByAmey

    Growth often feels uncomfortable while it’s happening. Pain challenges us, breaks us down, and forces us to confront the things we usually try to avoid. Yet, some of our greatest strengths emerge from the very struggles we once wanted to escape.

    The hardships of the past—failure, rejection, heartbreak—might have felt unjust, but they teach us resilience, patience, and endurance. True strength is built in those quiet moments that go unnoticed: when you push through fear, when you opt for discipline instead of distraction, and when you get back up after a fall.

    The pain you experienced yesterday wasn’t meant to defeat you. It was there to prepare you, to shape you, and to make you stronger. If you’re still here, still fighting, and still moving forward, that’s your proof of strength. Today, you stand stronger because of what you faced yesterday.

  • Embracing Vulnerability and Boldness in My Faith Journey

    ByAmey

    Today, as I opened my devotional, I came across these powerful words: “I know the plans I have for you, and they are good.”

    That’s a pretty bold statement, but I wholeheartedly believe it.

    No matter if I’m having a rough day or one of those amazing days, whether I’m feeling down or soaring high, I hold onto this truth: God has plans for me. Plans that are good, even when life feels chaotic.

    There are times when I let my guard down and share parts of my heart—not for sympathy or validation, but in hopes that someone else might relate to my journey. If my words can inspire even one person to see their life in a new light, then that’s truly incredible.

    What I won’t do is hide away. I refuse to tone down my vulnerability. I won’t stay silent when I feel compelled to shed light on my experiences, no matter how messy or human they may be.

    If what I share makes you uncomfortable, if my voice feels too loud, or if my experiences don’t resonate with you, there’s an easy fix: just unfollow.

    So often, we hold back to avoid offending or upsetting others. But I believe God has called me to be bold. I’m far from perfect. I’ve been a sinner saved by grace for 54 years, and I’m just human. I’m a woman who believes she’s meant to make a difference.

    This is me—raw, real, and authentic. And I choose to live boldly in my faith, sharing my story just as it is.

  • The Power of Letting Go

    BySheryl Artigas

    Holding on to anger might feel empowering at first. It seems justified, protective, and even like a way to maintain control. But the reality is, anger is a heavy burden. When we cling to it, it seeps into every aspect of our lives—affecting our conversations, quiet moments, and even relationships that had nothing to do with the initial pain. Over time, it doesn’t just linger in our hands… it finds a home in our hearts.

    Anger isn’t inherently bad. It’s a part of being human. It signals that something mattered to us. It shows that we’ve been hurt. But true healing starts when we pause and ask ourselves: do I want to be right, or do I want to be free?

    Letting go doesn’t mean that the hurt was acceptable. It’s about choosing peace over punishment. It’s about prioritizing your well-being instead of getting stuck in the past. You deserve to feel light, to experience softness, and to have the freedom to move forward without dragging yesterday along with you.

    Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to let go.

  • How Healing Taught Me to Let Go

    BySheryl Artigas

    As you’ve been following along each day with these questions, you can also grab your copy of the book where I included all 365 days! Check the link in the comments below.

    Today’s reflection is about HEALING:

    How have your needs changed as you’ve healed?

    I think the unhealed version of myself was very needy because of the many insecurities I carried. Some of those insecurities were valid, while others were simply stories I created in my own mind.

    As I’ve healed, my needs have changed significantly. I’ve learned not to place unrealistic expectations on other people, and I’ve become much more self-sufficient emotionally. I no longer allow things to affect me as deeply as they once did.

    Healing taught me that peace comes from within, not from constantly seeking reassurance from others.

    And honestly, we take life way too seriously sometimes. Learning to let go, breathe, and trust the process has made all the difference.

  • Confidence Looks Good on You

    BySheryl Artigas

    Sometimes, confidence isn’t loud—it’s simply showing up, smiling, and owning who you are. It’s in the little moments, like sitting comfortably in your space, sharing a genuine smile, and embracing the joy of being present.

    There’s something powerful about authenticity. No filters, no pretending—just you, confident and unapologetic. That kind of energy speaks louder than words.

    At the end of the day, confidence isn’t about perfection. It’s about being comfortable in your own skin and letting that shine through effortlessly.
