Permission

Sometimes as ... Well ... Humans ... We have to be reminded that it's okay for us to feel. So here's your midweek reminder: 

You can be incrediy blessed and incredibly overwhelmed at the same time. 

You can be strong enough to handle it and simultaneously be just about ready to break. 

You can want to do more with all of your heart, and be too exhausted to figure out how. 

You can be trying your best and still wish you could do better. 

You can be so thankful for everything and also really need a break all in the same moment. 

It's okay to feel things that don't quite match up. It's okay to feel things you don't love feeling.

Pause. Pray. But don't give up. Wallowing doesn't make it better - a reset does. 

So, give yourself grace. Ask for help. Take a break. And then get up and keep going.

You may feel downtrodden, but God's got your back, and you've got this. 💪
