Choose JOY!đź’•

 I love the idea of being happy for, proud, or in support of women/others doing wonderful things and making their dreams a reality. But most of all I love the part where we get so comfortable in our own journey that we no longer feel the need to envy others for the beauty they have found in theirs. 
Often time, we look at our faith, deeds, actions, and base them off estimation. We look around and judge how we are doing based on how others are doing. What if we pushed that to the curb, and just tried to beat the person we were last week/month/year? What if we stopped comparing ourselves by how others are doing. Start today by being better than who you were last week. Don’t lose your joy by comparing yourselves with what others are doing. Your journey is different. Focus, embrace and enjoy on your progress. Choose JOY!đź’•

Are you Enough? 

You Are EnoughIn Christ, you are rescued from that haunting question, “What’s wrong with me?”

I oversleep again. And a voice whispers, “What’s wrong with you?

I let down a friend. I don’t finish a project. I forget to feed the dog on time. And I hear again and again, “What’s wrong with you?”
I slip into bed at night with a sigh, pull the covers over my head, and close the day with this question: “What’s wrong with me?”

When we fail, struggle, or face obstacles, it can make us feel we are not enough. Surely we must somehow be inadequate or this wouldn’t be happening. If only we could be stronger, do more, get better, then things would be okay. We would be okay. We become the judge and find ourselves lacking.

Are we enough?

There are two answers to this question.

The first is, of course not. We’re frail. We’re human. We fail. None of us is perfect.

But because of what God has done for us, because of Christ who died for us, because of the Spirit within us, that’s not the final answer.

The second and truest answer is, yes, we are enough and so much more. You may feel inadequate but in God we are so much more. 
Yes, you are enough!
