Awaken Joy Leadership

Some truths stay near the surface for years. Then one day, grace helps them reach somewhere deeper.
Have you ever noticed how you can know something in your mind and not believe it in your heart?

Today's writing question:
What changes when a woman stops trying to prove who she is and begins receiving who God says she is?
Today, I dare you to grab a journal, find a quiet spot, and ask the Lord - Who do YOU say I am?

Judgment closes the conversation!
Curiosity makes room to notice what is really happening.
What are of your life might you become more curious about this week?

Identity begins with belonging.
Before we accomplish or prove anything, God calls us by name and says, You are Mine.
I pray that today, you hear HIM call you by name.
And if you have not yet learned to hear His voice, I pray that today is a new beginning for you.
A new way of discovering the beauty of who you were designed to become.

I've been wondering about something. How many times have I diminished my light because I was made to feel like I was "too much"? I have heard a repeated saying, "You can't say the wrong thing to the right people." and "Your vibe attracts your tribe."
Here's the thing.
I am smart, it's one of the things I love most about myself. Learning fills my soul and my heart in so many ways.
I am curious and creative.
At times, those strengths, gifts, and passions have caused others to feel "less than" in some way, and I have heard hurtful things. So i began to damper myself.
Comparison is ugly. Plain and simple.
I celebrate who YOU are!
If you have been like me at times, I encourage you to rise and shine!
You are too precious to dim the beauty of who you were designed to become.

What came naturally to you before you learned what other people valued?

Not every question asks to be solved quickly.
Some questions need space, prayer, and a little patience.

Identity. Belonging. Becoming. Delight. Purpose. Wonder.
I am following where they lead.

Knowing and receiving are not always the same movement.
I am learning to give truth time to travel from my mind into the deeper places.

How about you?

It is possible to know a verse and still be learning to receive it.
What would it look like for your soul to know that you are among God's wonderful works?
