Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26
I was watching Jessi Connolly's wild moms influence net class tonight and wow. If you all aren't members of the influence network, stop what you are doing and go sign up. Please oh please.
Jessi is beautiful in and out and this class was an absolute home run.
3 kids, a missionary husband, and funds were tight. And she recalled a time where she heard one of her kids say "we can't afford that". And it stung. She decided then and there that they needed to stop and change their way of thinking. Nothing is outside of the Lord's reach. Why should we limit God's ability?
I need to let this rub in. I need to soak in this. I need this truth in my life. And my kids need it.
We need to be careful that we are not speaking lies into our kids without even realizing it. Whether it's money, dreams, goals, daily life…we need to stop setting our own limitations. We need to stop thinking that we can't. We need to start asking God. Not that everything we ask for will be fulfilled in an instant, but that who are we to be the ones to say no? Be vulnerable and ask.
If it's going to be a no, let God be the one to say no.
When you don't think you can. Or you think you aren't enough. Remember, you have value. God will take care of you. Don't limit yourself. Soak in this.
