Choose Yourself First

Every time you choose yourself…
you teach the world how to choose you too.

It sounds simple, but it’s not always easy.
We’re taught to put others first.
To say yes when we mean no.
To shrink, adjust, and compromise—
just to keep the peace.
And over time…
we start to forget where we stand in our own lives.

But every small decision you make—
what you accept, what you allow, what you walk away from—
it sends a message.
Not just to others…
but to yourself.
It says, “This is what I deserve.”
“This is what I’m willing to accept.”
“This is how I value myself.”

When you constantly put yourself last,
people learn to meet you there.
But when you begin to choose yourself—
with your time, your energy, your boundaries—
something shifts.
Not because you’re demanding more…
but because you’re no longer settling for less.

Choosing yourself doesn’t mean shutting people out.
It doesn’t mean becoming selfish or distant.
It means being clear.
It means being honest.
It means respecting your own needs enough…
to stop ignoring them.
And the more you do that,
the more the world adjusts.
People respond differently.
Boundaries are respected.
Energy changes.
Because you’ve shown them how.

So if you’re waiting for others to see your worth…
start by showing it to yourself.
Choose yourself—again and again, in the smallest ways.
Because every time you do…
you’re teaching the world exactly how to treat you.

New book - Death by Design

 

Sirens split the distance—one, then another—rushing toward town. Patty didn’t flinch. She kept her eyes on the water and counted the beats between wails, steady as a metronome. The sound wasn’t a warning; it was confirmation.

Behind her, voices rose and fell—fragments carried on the air: ambulance… nursing home… eight of them… how could this happen? People reached for the kindest explanation first, as if kindness could make the story safer. Patty listened without turning. She’d stopped believing in accidents a long time ago.

Reflection and Prayers Rooted in Scripture

 

 This book was born out of reflection, prayer, and a deep appreciation for the life of Joshua—a man called to lead God’s people during one of the most daunting transitions in biblical history. After Moses, the great servant of the Lord, Joshua stepped into leadership at a time filled with uncertainty, responsibility, and opposition.

The words spoken to Joshua still echo powerfully today: “Be strong and courageous.” These words are not merely encouragement; they are a command rooted in God’s promise of His presence.

This book is an invitation to reflect on what those words mean in our own lives. Whether you are facing change, uncertainty, leadership responsibilities, or personal battles, the same God who walked with Joshua walks with you today.

The Edge of the Unknown

To truly understand the weight of God’s command, we must look at the landscape Joshua was facing. For forty years, the Israelites had been wanderers in the wilderness, led by the towering figure of Moses. Now, Moses was dead, and the nation stood on the banks of the Jordan River.

This was not a peaceful transition into a vacant land. Joshua was tasked with leading millions of people across a river into a territory inhabited by powerful, fortified nations who would not welcome them. The "Promised Land" was a place of destiny, but it was also a place of imminent conflict.

Joshua wasn't just managing a move; he was preparing for a spiritual and physical battle against overwhelming odds. Without Moses’ guidance and facing a future defined by war and uncertainty, Joshua had every human reason to be "dismayed". It is against this backdrop of rushing water and waiting enemies that God speaks the words that would define Joshua's life: "Be strong and of a good courage".
