What if I’m just me?

What if what I need, want, hope for, and feel called to isn’t flashy or fancy?

What if I never make a top 100 list? Or any list? What if I don’t even really care about the list at all?

What if I’m content working to live instead of living to work?

What if I feel God more intimately around a campfire than in a pew?

What if I’m confident in the body I have? What if I live to care for it instead of change it?

What if I have no interest in hustling for more?

What if I’m content to simply show up to the life I’ve built with my people?

What if I care more about who I share this life with than the clothes we wear or the place we live?

What if I admit that I genuinely adore this life that has room for both sadness and joy?

What if I desire sunshine instead of the spotlight?

What if my prayers sound more like talking to a trusted parent than a formal recitation for a king?

What if I choose to trust the people around me instead of control them?

What if I decide that this life is enough? That my God is enough?

What if I believe that I am loved despite my flaws?

What if I admit that I can’t achieve perfection and that maybe I don’t even want to?

What if my honest imperfection and humble willingness are all I ever have to offer?

What if I’m just me? What if that’s okay?

What if I decide that it’s okay for you to be you, too?

What if we agree that our differences are assets and opportunities instead of obstacles?

What if this enoughness turns out to be so much more than enough?
