For YOUR LIFE to really change, you gotta understand this: You cannot be afraid of being seen. Your ideas, your work, your personality, your voice they’re supposed to be out in the world. Stop worrying about how everyone will perceive you. The people who are meant to find you can’t find someone who refuses to show up. Create without apologizing. Share without overthinking. Let yourself be visible. Because you’re not showing up for everyone. You’re showing up for YOUR people.
Waiting is not easy. We feel exhausted at times, on the verge of giving up. We may even lower our expectations. But we have to press on because only You know when the time is right. Almighty. Keep our faith firm while waiting, trusting You always.
