I am in awe at the way you add your personality to the Substack. Your creativity in infusing your personality into the truth of what you’re reading and reflecting on has inspired me to do better at not caring to be so polished on here and share more of my personality through writing. This post blessed me.

Hey Indiaaaa! I’m glad you were blessed through this. You should absolutely be showing your personality! God created us all uniquely and there’s people who need to hear and see your voice. Your TRUE voice. That’s how we bless others ❤️

God is definitely calling me into a season of only focusing on His opinion of me, and not what the world or my friends or even my family think of me or label me as. I spent most of my life trying to please people and it got me nowhere. It got so bad that I kept losing friendships over and over again. I thought I was destined to be alone, but Lord said to seek Him in all things and I think the most important thing right now is that I take steps FORWARD to start seeing Him in everything. This post was the light in the dark, keep working, keep writing, keep following Jesus, He has clearly given you a gift (:

Thank you so much for your kind words Kayla! I pray that you begin to see yourself through God’s eyes. He’s the source of everything and He knew all of us before He formed us. His opinion truly is the only one that matters 🩷

As someone reading the Bible for the first time, this would have snatched my edges if I had not just shaved my head lol This is too relatable because I stay getting annoyed with the characters only to feel the conviction immediately after because they are just like me! Disobedient and hard headed 😂 Thank God for grace!

Maaan. We really are dusty as human beings and we all are really living the same life. God revealed to me not so long ago that even though i was out of Egypt i still had the Egyptian mindset like the Children of Israel, wanting what was behind, the comfort when He was trying to feed me manna. My flabber was gasted at the realization. The word read me like a book so I feel you.

Ps. I love Real Housewives 😭😭
