Stay in your lane, stay in your lane!
Constant self reminder.
Ah, social media… a gift and a curse. A place of inspiration, or a door to discontentment. ⠀⠀
I hope none of God’s people are out here comparing themselves to any one! You’re a rarity. And rspecially not being discouraged by the progression or position of your own brothers and sisters… ⠀⠀
Won’t God take care of you personally too? Doesn’t He see you and know what’s best!? Let’s trust Him! Trust Him alone and not our hearts that crave things that could very much lead us astray… Rejoice that, “My Father’s keeping me on track.” The “hope and future, and desires of your heart” that He’s promised remains true! He may have to change our stubborn hearts to delight in different things, but He’ll get you to fall in love with His special graces and glory and renew you all at the same time. Heart open!

This scripture gave me some life the other day: 2Corin.5:12-13 “…so you can answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart. If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit.”
It reminded me 1. that being a little bazaar is ok lol, but 2. not to equate visual success to spiritual success.
I knew that in general. But do I personally I believe I can honor God while not being in the most “ideal” position? I almost forget.. People grow from truth not glamor. Healing, unity and LOVE is the goal! Glamor’s cool when it’s naturally included, but don’t pay extra, distracted.

The things of the world are fleeting, so don’t be jealous of the world.
• And the body of Christ is one.
We win and lose together. We’re foolish if we look down on anything God is doing. Or up to things as if it doesn’t have its own responsibilities and trails.
Operate in faith at YOUR full compactly. Your calling is a blessing! You’re a delight to imagine out there! God is good.
Don’t get stuck trying to figure out what God wants you to do. God’s will is our sanctification- for us to love radically like Jesus and to use our talents and spiritual gifts! Follow the path where that comes together.
Even if it’s different!
God’s purifying areas people didn’t know He could use or restore, or even cared about! All is His! What’s dead can have life again. Don’t fear, but enjoy your unique path!
Some people know how miraculous God is, and are rooting you on (like me! woo! haha)!
Here’s to enjoying the journey because in it, we get the gift of knowing we’re divinely known, and held in forever!(Amazing grace! What a gift! Praise God!)
