So let me confess! Like every other idea God has given me, once I have the action plan I take the ball and run with it. I begin to put pieces in place. I seek God on what to do, when to do, and who to ask for help. He always provides the answers and the people. However, once I feel comfortable and think that I have a good operating system I fall into routine. Believe it or not it happens rather quickly. Problem is, when I am in routine I begin to depend on myself. The moment I do, what started out as fun becomes an obligation it becomes work.

I love to write. May not be the best writer but I love expressing myself through words. Even though this is true, I realized that I was falling into a funk doing these daily devotionals. Writing a paper is easy. I can write nonstop when I am writing about something that has my interest or that I am passionate about. I love Jesus and I am passionate about sharing his workings in my life but I made that difficult for myself. I began thinking of ways to make BeEncourge popular or like every other site. I fell into the trap of comparison so easily. So of course, these devotionals became a source of anxiety rather than a safe space for me to share my truth. Silly me. When will I learn?!

Anyhow, I said all that to say, I am back at square one trying to figure this thing out. For those of you who read these devotionals and follow my growth continue to pray for me as I seek to do God’s will. I love you guys and I pray that through my flaws and all you will be inspired to abide in Christ and bear fruit that demonstrates real faith.

I want to be more like Jesus

Jesus did not come with that flash and spark of someone in need of attention, nor did he make his status and calling glowingly obvious. Instead, he chose the path of humility, privacy, and revelation recognized by faith.
