It all connects…
What is it that God wants from me? He wants me to be the wife, mommy, friend, and church leader He created me to be.
Just now, as I was typing that last part, I began: He wants me to be the best wife, mommy, etc. That’s the way it sounded right in my head. For some reason, though, I went back and re-read that part in today’s entry, and noticed the difference – Neil doesn’t use the word best.
Small distinction, but for those of us who can be paralyzed by needing to do everything as perfectly as we can, it’s freeing. I don’t have to be the best. I just need to understand who God has created me to be, how that looks, and then go and live it.
Today’s entry takes us back to the themes of goal vs. desires, being vs. doing. See how it all connects?
God is absolutely able to make me into who He wants me to be. I have to find the courage to break out of my old self and live a new way.
