info_outlineSome days you’ve got to hold your joy close, pray over it, and put a lid on it before the internet gets a vote. Today we are talking like girlfriends at the kitchen table about giving yourself permission to be human while God makes you whole. We’re choosing God over small, trading people-pleasing for purpose, and letting the Holy Spirit stretch us from tight places into broad spaces. It’s not a recap, it’s real talk.
Pull up and let’s:
-
Protect joy before we post it
-
Do enough to hear God again
-
Turn the other cheek without turning off our calling
-
Ask the Holy Spirit for bold, humble courage
If your heart’s been tender, your faith feels wobbly, or you’ve been hiding the best parts of you, this one’s a gentle nudge to show up again. Press play, breathe, and let’s seal that joy together.
