All of us have a God-given purpose. We must muddle through all the lies, stories, and BS in our heads to truly understand, conclude, and implement our purpose in this world as our best selves. 

What makes the process so difficult is that we must sit quietly and wholeheartedly with our struggles, weaknesses, and habits and work through them… not cover them up, avoid them, or drown them out with the world’s noise.

Today is particularly tough, and I want to run from my thoughts and push them aside instead of asking where these weak thoughts are coming from.

We all have vulnerabilities, doubts, and worries that we need to talk to, process, and then give up to God. 

We are worth so much more than what the anxiety says in our heads. 

Everyone, but especially moms, deal with a lot of self-doubt around parenting, working, and our relationships with our spouse, co-workers, and friends. There are so many stories out there in social media and heck, even at the PTA meeting that we are not enough, and we can do more and be richer, smarter, craftier, prettier, and just not ourselves..because that is just not good enough.

We have to remind ourselves.. We got this! Through the Lord’s Grace, we can do hard things. It’s ok to not be perfect, it’s ok to doubt ourselves just don’t let it prevent you from taking action on your goals. It’s ok to have a day where you rest, and not doing anything remotely productive by society’s standards.

I’m here reminding myself that it is ok to not have a perfect job, perfect body, and perfect family who does exactly what I say (my family is full of opinionated, smart, witty beautiful people). It’s ok to sit with my sadness for a day, work through it (ask for help when I need it –Betterhelp is a great tool I have used while dealing with grief), and learn how to be strong in who I am and my purpose. We can as a society rise above self doubt and lift each other up in strength and love. 

Much love to all of you living, loving, and learning. God Bless you.
