BECOMING You.

December 19th, 2021

Every year peoples natural tendency is to reflect on the year and decide what they are going to focus on the upcoming year to make it better… to make them better. The lists can be unending. Working out more, drinking less, giving more, wanting less, eating better, surrounding yourself with better people, spending less, saving more, or maybe goals on business, appearance, material possessions. It’s different for everyone. 

I have been thinking for a while now on what I want to change to be a better me… a better woman, a better girlfriend, a better mother figure, a better friend, a better leader, a better business owner. I realize that the difference between the “Me” that I’m proud of, that I don’t look back and wish I did things differently, and the “Me” that I’m wanting to change, or thinking “Wow I could have done or said that differently”… is Jesus… and whether or not I have opened myself up to hear Him, or basically told Him to catch up with ME in my busyness and speak into my life. So, though I do feel like my fitness, eating, business, friendships, and my relationship could use work and could grow and get better… but at the core of all those things is “ME” and wanting to be more Jesus like… and creating intentional, focused time for Him and I. He isn’t going to chase you down to get your attention, and before this year, I felt so righteous in my busyness, always being “busy” and not having time, and that daily decision has reflected in my life and the way I speak into the people around me. 

I believe that when you learn how to receive Jesus’ love, THATS the only way you can love, whole heartedly, and unconditionally. 

My goal for 2022 is to learn how to receive His radical love so deeply that it will blow all the paradigms of what I believe love to be, away. To learn to be loved outrageously. To be set free of my own small thinking about myself so that I can be ALL that I am called and was created to be.

True change comes from the inside out, not the outside in.

You can’t pour from an empty cup… So work on you. Your heart. Your wounds. Your mind. Your spirit… and watch what it does for the people around you.
