I haven’t shared a devotional, in a while, but it doesn’t mean I’m not praying for you. Today though, I was up early on a Saturday to get my haircut and I started this devotional. Then I stopped. Yet, I feel led to share this for someone who is carrying the weight of trying to be what and who everybody expects. For those who are afraid to let down the wall. For those who’ve yet to figure out who you are or what you want because you don’t want to let anyone down.
Isn’t it tiring, always smiling because you’re afraid to admit you’re not okay? Doesn’t it get overwhelming trying to keep the makeup from smearing or your clothes from being out of place? Isn’t it draining always being the one everyone comes to because you never say no? Are you not fed up trying to keep up with who folks say your life should be?
Social media has you out here thinking your life is a failure because you aren’t married with a baby, a big house, a foreign car, expensive wigs or standing barbershop appointment, designer clothes and shoes, and the 6 figure job. But the reality is … if you’re happily single working at Amazon with your hookah or cigars, or you stay with your momma, 2 roommates, or a cat; do you. If you have to put water in your radiator, every day just to make it to work and home, it’s yours. If you’re like me and will rock a $7.50 jumper from Family Dollar, wear it. If you don’t want to follow in momma or daddy’s footsteps, but rather blaze your own trail, do it.
What I’m saying is … Do you! Be you! Love you! Laugh at you! Challenge you! Encourage you! Embrace you! Comfort you! CHOOSE YOU!
