Setting Boundaries, so I can keep my Integrity and be abundantly generous! 

– quote by Brene’ Brown

I have been working steadily over the last 10 or so years on boundaries.  Most people are either too loose with their boundaries or have walls built up so high around them that no one can get close.  Most boundary issues are formed from childhood.  They can be learned from examples in our lives or restraints / enabling put on us .  My children, had a great mom in a lot ways but also I was so messy.  I thank the Lord for placing the right people in my life and allowing me to learn a few lessons the hard way.   I thank Him also for never giving up on me.  Below are a few scriptures that will help us all in our step to being B.I.G.!

If you’re interested in learning more so that you can be happier in this life, here is a few suggestions.
