You just can't be everything to everyone.

Sadly, this took me a looooong time to figure out.


I'm tired of people making me feel guilty for the things I can't do, or be.
I'm tired of people expecting something and then not giving grace.
I'm tired of trying to be the person that does everything.
I'm tired of feeling expectations that may not be existent.
I'm just tired...of trying to be perfect.
Even when that's not what anyone expects of me.
It's my expectations of myself.

There you have it. I want to be so many things to all people. I can't. I fail miserably. But my God redeems. My God is God of the Universe. He chose me. He loves me. He loves that I talk to myself about how I was right. He loves that I hate feet. He loves the way I relate to people. He loves me when I fail. He loves me when I sin. He loves me unconditionally, all the time. He loves me when I don't deserve it. He loves me as I'm over analyzing something. He loves me when all I want to do is cry. He loves my enthusiasm. He is full of grace. He is FULL of grace for me. He just loves. All the time. And the only reason is that...

 I'm His. I'm His. I'm His. 

When that security is what I rest in, I'm free. I am free to live and breathe and sing and dance for my King. That freedom is unmatched by anything else in the world. I just have to remember that every day. I love it. Go God.
