The Path to Wholeness
My Best Self is a weekly letter, and a growing community of women choosing God first.
How we see the world shapes everything we do. Choosing God first reshapes how we see ourselves, our circumstances, and the people around us. Every Friday, one honest letter looks at what that shift actually looks like — in marriage, in faith, in the everyday moments where we’re honest about how we’re showing up. Not a quick fix — just choosing God first, one Friday at a time.
01
From Perfection to Grace
I forgive myself when I fail, and I move on. Grace means I don’t have to carry yesterday into today — because God already let it go.
02
From Fear to Trust
I am not ruled by my feelings, my past, or circumstances. I choose who I will be. In my relationship with God, I am inspired to be my best self.
03
From Old Habits to Active Choices
I decide who I am and how I will respond — not by trying harder on my own, but by choosing, every day, to let God shape who I’m becoming
Where to begin
5 Stages Journey
Wherever you are right now, there’s a stage for that. Every letter on this site lives in one of five stages, because the struggle looks different depending on where you’re standing. Come in through whichever door feels true today — one stage, all five, any order, any time.
AWAKEN
I see the problem.
You know that something’s off, but you can’t quite name it yet. You are tired of doing the same thing over and over again. That’s exactly where this stage begins — these letters are for seeing clearly that it’s your view of the world, not your circumstances, shaping your days.
REMEMBER
I remember who God says I am.
Now that you’re seeing clearly, the world will still try to tell you who you are. These letters are here to remind you of the truth underneath the noise — that you’re defined by God, not by what’s expected of you.
CHOOSE
I take responsibility.
Clarity and truth eventually ask something of you: a decision. These letters share with you what it actually looks like to choose God first — there is struggle and learning in marriage, in faith, in the ordinary moments.
RELEASE
I let go, and let God.
Some things were never yours to carry, even when it doesn’t feel that way. These letters sit with you in that release — letting go of control and old hurts, and trusting God with what you can’t fix on your own.
LIVE
I live this every day.
This isn’t something you arrive at once and keep — it’s something you return to, day after day. These letters are for the ordinary work of choosing God first, again and again.

From the writer
“Hi, I’m Linda. I spent years solving the same problems over and over, until I realized the real problem wasn’t my circumstances — it was me, and how I saw the world. Once I changed that, my faith deepened, my marriage got better, and I found real peace.
The change in me was too significant to keep to myself — so I started writing. If your own journey with God has taught you something worth sharing, I’d love to hear it. Send me a proposal, and we may feature your letter here.”
