what i like about you
Maybe it is because September is finally upon us and summer is slowing abandoning us for her sabbatical, maybe because I’ve been without my best friend for five weeks, or maybe it is because Kanye West announced he wants to be POTUS and I just can’t stop thinking about moving to New Zealand or London or Africa or anywhere that would be better than President and First Lady Kimye…for any of these reasons, or maybe others, it has been slow and hard and one of those weeks where I’ve just felt small.

I have been so stuck in this back and forth of dreams and desires for a purposeful and significant life, and my own pride and desire for my own greatness. God keeps reminding me of the principle, the one who is faithful with little, will be trusted with much.
Read Morefear of insignificance (the paradox of humility)
Through this season of Lent, and giving up fear, my biggest fear has become so evident to me: fear of insignificance. I believed for so long that I was insignificant. I still fear it.
