I hate flying.
The morning before a flight I can’t eat, and my my whole body is a bit shaky and anxious from take-off to landing.
I have a ritual before every flight… it goes like this:
Take a good look at the three words above: worthy, important, loved. Post them on your mirror, tattoo them on your arm, set this picture as your screen saver, write it in permanent marker on your forehead if that’s what it takes to remember these three words. Worthy, important and loved make up a huge part of your God given identity. Despite how you feel about yourself, or what you have gone through or done; worthy, important and loved are non-wavering truths about who you are.
Life is fast paced. With social media, fast food, fast speed internet, and constant pressures to look and be a certain way, it seems like we are always trying to accomplish 100 things at once.
Miss Proverbs 31 has it all together. She’s living her best life, she’s super domestic, even has her own business going, and she’s succeeding and thriving in all she does. Her character is on point and she knows fully who she is. “She is clothed in strength and dignity, and laughs without fear of the future”. I’ve envied her in seasons when I have felt far from being like her. If we’re honest, Miss Proverbs 31 can be intimidating… maybe even cause us to feel a bit bad about ourselves, like we don’t measure up. But even this Proverbs 31 gal had to make choices to step into the women God made her to be. How do we become women like this, who look forward into the unknown and have joy that overflows into laughter?
