WORTH....IT.

Listen. Hear this. I am by no means a girl who has it all figured out. So why I am sharing things here.....well....truth..OBEDIENCE. I have been hearing a lot of that word lately. I can hear loud and clear what God wants of me here and now. Yet, I don't always promptly do it. Smart, huh? Yeah. Not my finest hour or hours or rather days.... God quite often calls me out of my comfort zone- Typically thats how I know its him. So - I suppose this won't be the last of these that you will read. I would apologize- but honestly if you don't want to be here, reading this- no one is forcing you to. So click out or read on. Sass. Its strong over here. Sorry. Kinda. I'm certain you will get a mix in my writing. Raw. Emotional to the core. Sassy. Who knows. I am getting a jump start on my new years resolution (which I don't do BTW) This year though- its OBEDIENCE. The word is so simple-but that follow through you all....whew.. it can be so tough. His ways are greater and even though I feel silly writing publicly I know he has a plan and so here I am. Willing, ready, and obedient. Today I want to talk about an over talked about subject- especially in a womans world. WORTH. I want you all to know your worth. Me, you, your mom, your sister, your best friend, and our sweet precious daughters, and sons. I was raised by a woman who knew her worth - yet she cared deeply about what others thought of her. I think it's okay to care what others think- in a healthy way. But most importantly be true to you. It has been said a billion times before- KNOW YOUR WORTH. It has been said in so many ways, and in today's world I think it needs to be screamed from the mountain tops. Social media is a blessing when used properly. Far too often it's stealing our joy,and our worth. Leaving us wishing for a house that size, a car that nice, hair that beautiful, and skin that flawless. Filters-need I say more? And if we are not swooning and wishing over someone else's life- we are griping and complaining about who knows what...Chic fila, Christmas music, our child's school, the school bus driver....faulting everyone but ourselves. It's true.... Don't believe me? Post something that you don't agree with and watch your comments blow up- Post something happy and touching and people will keep scrolling. WORTH. It is not found in money. It is found in that sweet little voice that calls you mommy. It isn't found in material items. It is found in being present. It isn't found in the car you drive. It is found in the thankfulness. It isn't found in the size of your diamond ring. It is found in the love. It isn't found in designer anything. GASP. Nope. Not even. Your worth, my friend is found in JESUS. The one and only. It's found in OBEDIENCE - in all that he has called you to be. Even if it scares you to your core. It's found in showing up. It's found in the calling. Your calling. No one elses. Most importantly- It's not found in comparison and trying to out do one another. It's found in hope, and love. Loving yourself and others. Jesus. Simply put it's found in Jesus. Everyday. HEAR THIS- I do not care what the NAY SAYERS are screaming. I do not care what the scale says. I don't care if your hair isn't perfect, and sweat pant's are your favorite accessory ( If that is you- I love you already). I urge you to know your worth and encourage and love the worth of others. Cheer them up, raise them up. Jesus meets us right where we are at. He wants to meet with you today, and tomorrow, and forever. Your worth is important to him. Your dreams are important to him. The desires of your heart are important to him. Your obedience is necessary. He knows you, he loves you, and he calls you by name. Your worth is found in him and him alone. I'll be here cheering you on. Until next time.
