God asks me to be faithful in being me and that is enough.
The other day I had a moment, a realization. This may sound super cheezy but I looked at my purple Jamberry binder and realized God truly does care about the intricate details of our lives. A few years ago, God gave me vision and purpose to live a "purple" life and reach out to women in a "purple" manner. I've shared my heart on this but living "purple" means living richly, loving deeply, striving to reach out and care, like the rich, deep color of purple the Bible talks about. And there in that moment with my purple Jamberry business binder in hand, I realized God dropped the opportunity in my lap because he loves me deeply and wants to see me reaching out to women in the simple business avenue of Jamberry Nail Wraps. I strive to wrap my identity around Christ and long for the days I spent hours in His Word, listening to His voice, but now a lot of my identity is wrapped up in my babies and my husband. I am only one woman but in this season, my attention is split between several areas and today I am realized that. . .is. . .ok!!
Because God wants me to be faithful in being me.
And being me is taking care of my babies, loving my husband;
being a friend, a wife, a sister and using my new business venture to love on women.
Maybe I won't make tons of money but I can be faithful with what God gives and opportunities God brings. I can take mommy breaks and clean out the cobwebs. I can give my husband more of my attention because he should be my first priority.
Ladies, I encourage you to take breaks to sit at a coffee shop and re-prioritize what is truly important in your life. Our husbands are a special gift and we need to treat them as such. Our babies are a beautiful responsibility and we need to have the energy they deserve. Maybe God has brought you a side business, be faithful in that.
Maybe God lead you to a struggling friend, be faithful to her.
We have arms to give hugs.
We have a mouth to speak encouragement.
We have a shoulder for friends to lean on.
We have a hot cup of coffee to offer.
Be faithful in being you and that is enough.
