Replacing Feelings of Being Unlovable with Accepting God’s Unconditional Love

August 17, 2017 DrKLeeBanks Comments 0 Comment

Move Away from Feeling Unlovable… Accept God’s Unconditional Love! So many things can make us feel unlovable, from other people’s words and actions against us — to our own self-critic — you know, that little annoying nudge that makes us call ourselves names when we do something wrong!

March 23, 2017 DrKLeeBanks Comments 2 comments

Negate Negativity on National Puppy Day! 🙂 Today is National Puppy Day – to raise awareness for puppy adoption, especially from shelters.
