Friend, are you like me & feeling a little disconn

Friend, are you like me & feeling a little disconnected after these last two years of social distancing. If so, I understand. 💗
.
In today’s devotion over at Proverbs 31 Ministries, I share of a time when I felt unknown by the community around me, as well as a current feeling of disconnection the last couple of socially-distanced years have brought.
.
So thankful we have a God who knows us through-and-through, and who walks with us in every season of our lives. 🙌
.
As we all begin to take awkward steps toward re-establishing in-person connections this year, May we never forget how very *known,* and *loved* by God we are.
.
Oh, that we would find our greatest comfort & community in Him. 💗

Head over to proverbs31.org to read the & join in on the conversation today. ✨

In times of joy, times of grief, and every time between—Oh, how we’ve lived in the goodness of God.

Thank you, Lord, for surrounding our lives with Yourself.

Friend,I wonder if you’re like me in that, so often I’d rather show up on the scene of everyday life after I have things figured out…after I have my stuff together.
.
But, I’m learning that the Figuring-Out comes with the Showing-Up.
.
For when we come as we are to the table of life, our place finds us.
.
We need not concern ourselves with what others might say, nor worry about who seems more qualified than us.
.
For we aren’t defined by anyone else’s standard of being. We are beautifully made for purpose—just as we are.
.
Everyday, every year, every decade of life, we’ll grow. But may we not wait till we feel comfortable or confident or have it all figured out (as if) to step into the things God places on our hearts.
.
For the beauty is in showing up & making much of Him.
.
Good news, it’s not about us! 🙌
.
Simply come as you are. 💗
