š±Grow through what you go through! š±
If youāve been following me for any time now you probably know that I like to be transparent and honest with you all. I like to speak whatās on my heart. ā ā
Recently Iāve opened up with struggling a lot with life, health issues, my ministry, and writing. Itās scary to be vulnerable with you but I want you to see not just the good but the messy and hard. I donāt want you to think Iām perfect because God knows Iām far from it. I want you to know that Iām relatable and human just like you. ā
ā ā
Iāve had a few deep conversations with close friends and mentors lately. Each of them reminded me that itās okay to feel like this. Itās okay to have fears and concerns. Itās okay to have doubts. ā
ā
Whatās not okay is to let them hold me captive. ā ā
Something that they reminded me is that instead, I need to think about all the good things that God has done and give thanks. Now, this doesnāt mean these thoughts are bad. It just means I canāt let them constantly consume me. Even when itās hard I need to still give praise to God. ā ā ā
Every day God is teaching me something.ā ā
Every day God is showing me a truth.ā ā
Every day God continues to be faithful.ā ā
Every day God shows His unconditional love for me.ā ā
Every day even through the pain of my circumstances God is good. ā
Iām learning and growing through these trials and hardships. Iām learning to be open and honest with others. Iām learning that Iām not alone and have amazing support and community of friends. ā
ā ā
I donāt know what you are facing today. I donāt need to know. God knows what you are going through. Iām here to remind you that Iām praying for you. Iām praying that you continue to grow. ā ā
ā ā
Grow in your faith and that through your pain, hurt, and fears cling to the promise that God is with you every step of the way.
