Chat w/ Ci
In the words of Khalid “Can we just talkkkk?”
Sisss lets talk! I would say I am no therapist, and technically I am not. What I do have is a Psychology and Counseling degree that I have been dying to put to use.
Chat with Ci will be dedicated to all the conversations with my sisters. Feel free to ask questions about Christianity, friendships, relationships, advice on just about any topic, or just come here to get stuff off your chest.
This is a safe space, I promise!

What would be your advice to let go of the past and mistakes? Also forgiving yourself and others for the harm that has been caused?

Sis, I have been there and still learning myself!
Letting go of the past and mistakes is not easy and does not happen over night either. My honest answer would be remembering what God says about you. I would allow how my mistakes to become my identity, which caused me to walk in shame and guilt. Jesus died on the cross so we could be free from those things, His mercy and grace is new every morning. I recommend watching the sermon “The Momentum of a Decision” by Stephen Furtick. It talks about how Jesus knew every decision you would make, and He has still chosen you.
Mathew 6:14 explains the important of forgiveness. If God forgives us we too, must forgive ourselves and others. Pastor Michael Todd has an amazing series called FU: Forgiveness University. There are so many sermons in the series that have helped me with how to forgive.
I hoped this helped just a little, and I am praying for you love ❤️

My question is how to build confidence as a Godly woman. I know that society has a lot of standards for women, but Christian women are suppose to rely on what God says about the them. He created every part of us and he does not make any mistakes, but some days I find myself battiling with it. How do you face those struggles? What tips do you have

This is so real sis. We truly live in a time that promotes so many different “standards of beauty”. The boobs, the butt, makeup trends, name brand clothing, followers or likes on IG and I could go on and on. I, myself, struggled for the longest on comparing myself to other women trying to understand why God did not make me to look like them or at least have some of their features. Then I realized I just told God, my creator, he did a bad job/ made a mistake. How can that be when the word tells me that God looked at his creation and said that it was good, or that I am made in His image and His likeness. That means that everything that you are is a glimpse of who God is. I had to begin to tell myself that if I do not walk fully and confidently in who I am, the world is missing this view of Christ. When you look at yourself you aren’t just looking at you ,but the God in you as well. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t dare call my God ugly. When you begin to feel insecure or low, fill your heart and mind with scripture and meditate on the things God says that you are (beautiful, chosen, more precious than ruby’s, etc.)
I hope this helps and I will continue to uplift you in my prayers. We are on this confidence journey together 🤍
