I'm not cut out for this.
Have you ever said those words? One minute you're floating on air—confident and sure that you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing—and the next you come tumbling down to ground in a crashing halt. You question everything. One comment, one person, one mistake, one setback shouldn't be what you define success by, it shouldn't shake you . . . and yet it does. Everything that felt solid and was filling you up now feels deflated, empty, and uncertain. And you are left with the question: who am I doing this for?
We strive and try and work and persevere in all the things (business, ministry, family, homeschooling), yet if we're not careful, the slightest opposition can bring us to a grinding halt. It is in moments like these that I find myself almost desperate to hide in my prayer closet: away from the noise, the voices, and the opinions, in the presence of the One voice that matters. It's like a sudden case of vertigo where I don't know which way is up anymore. Or like Inception where I have gone a few layers too deep and am trying to figure out what is real and true.
For the one who feels this right now: The world does not need you to conform, it needs you to transform. You are not called to fit in to people's expectations of you, but to walk confidently in obedience to the call. Yes, it would be easier to throw in the towel and walk away, but the world NEEDS what you carry, and that means being strong and very courageous. Get back up, go on a date with your husband and laugh a little, and then carry on—His mercies are new every morning ❤️
