Hot Mess

Listen can’t nobody tell you about me as I can! Y’all might not know this - but most days I’m a hot mess!

If you look at my social media you may think I have it together, but I don’t.

I’m perfectly imperfect.

I make mistakes.

I get things wrong a lot.

Sometimes I struggle with perfectionism.

I can be impatient. 😬

I tune people out sometimes, unconsciously. 😩🎧

I say things I shouldn’t say. 🤐 I try to have the shut-up spirit, but it doesn’t work all the time.

I take things out of context.

Forget to give people grace, but I want all the grace. #makeitmakesense But it doesn’t. 😂

And so much more!

In the words of my friend Erica…BUT GOD!

In the midst of me being a hot mess, God reminds me that he can use me for his glory to help others! And if he can use me, he can use you as well!

Remember, we are all ministers and can share our faith with others.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2 Corinthians 3:6

Ordered Steps

I know people say, what you don’t know can’t hurt, but that’s a lie. I was working on a project at work and I didn’t know I should get permission before I implemented something - guess what that missed step could have hurt me if I wouldn’t have asked someone. ?

I think about even when I’m cooking, it is probably better for me to follow the steps of the recipe in order vs. skipping steps. If I jump to putting my cake in the oven before mixing the ingredients, something with that cake isn’t going to be right. Lol.

The whole idea of having steps ordered makes me grateful for how intentional my Heavenly Father is. He ordered our steps before we wore born.

How cool is that?!!!

I know we think we know what’s best for us often, but we should follow his ordered steps. It will save us a lot of time and energy.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭37:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬
