It’s safe to say that we are all experiencing incredible change right now. I know some more than others. And while there are so many unknowns, there is nothing that our Lord doesn’t already know. I was watching a video yesterday and they talked about how incredibly perfect our God is in all of His Ways.
It’s my birthday today, but it’s not just any birthday, today I am turning the big 30! And as I reflect on the last 10 years of my life, I’m in awe of how much I’ve truly grown and changed. I mean, I’m sure it’s obvious and normal for people to change over a ten-year span, but I never would have imagined my life to be what it is now.
Are you familiar with the Bible verse, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8? This is one of my favorite verses. It tells us that there is a season for everything. I don’t know about you, but that brings me great comfort and peace knowing that I don’t have to do or be all things, all at once, all the time. Everything has its own time. It’s own season of life.
I don’t know about you, but I am on social media almost daily. It’s the platform I use to write my blog, to run my online digital shop, to minister to others through sharing the word of God. It’s a part of my life. But lately, I have started feeling burned out from it. I think social media can be an excellent tool, but it can also cause a lot of pain, exhaustion, confusion, and unnecessary comparison and feelings of not being or feeling enough. This is where I found myself at the end of December.
If you’re not a morning person like me, you’ll understand how hard morning routines truly are. I cannot tell you how many books, articles, blog posts, etc. that I have read on how to have a “successful start” to my morning. And while most of what is written is good, it wasn’t enough. I still felt empty. I still felt unsatisfied. I still felt like there was something missing to truly set up my day in a way that would help me know I didn’t have to figure everything out on my own….or even check everything off my to-do list. That’s when I discovered that there’s something beautiful that happens when I start each morning in God’s Word.
