Post from Momastery.

"The truth is abundance- not scarcity. Scarcity tells me that more for her means less for me. Abundance tells me that when She Rises, I Rise. WE rise together. Abundance insists that there is ENOUGH. Enough love, enough attention, enough recognition, enough success for all. Abundance is one of those Truths I have to relearn every few months like it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of the word.

I once saw an interview with an Olympic swimmer who said that the reason for her wild success was that she “always keeps her head in her own lane.” A-HA! Today- stay in your lane. Swim your race, not your neighbor’s. Quit peeking into her lane because it slows you down.

And don’t worry- you can’t miss your boat. It’s YOUR boat and it sails WITH you- right on time. Let go gracefully of those blessings not meant for you right now. Believe in your race. And when jealousy grabs a hold of you and won’t let go- claw your way back to abundance by giving away some love and recognition. Lavishing it on someone else is the best way to remind yourself that there is plenty of love for all."

being brave & making summer lists.

This crazy blessing of singleness combined with a fantastic little career has me in a spot of on-my- knees-gratitude... and this summer feels like the sweetest three months of time to embrace that.

It's always about LOVING those who are hardest to love and DOING the one thing you think you cannot do - that's where I see Jesus, know Jesus, and trust Jesus the most.

Being brave. Being contagious. And fearlessly following the Spirit into all the corners of God's plan.
