WHAT IS THE “BEHIND THE SCENES” LINK UP?

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one” — C.S. Lewis
Friend? Can I whisper something to you? You aren’t alone. I might not know exactly what you’re going through, or where life has taken you. I might not be able to know how you got to this place where you need to say “I’m Okay Where I Am”…but I know this. You aren’t alone, and you will be ok.
I didn’t think I would be ok. Several months ago everything fell apart. I lost what was comfortable, what was secure and what I thought was guaranteed. I had all of these worldly promises packed neatly into sparkly, fancy suitcases that I carried with me everywhere. An impressive title, a salary that funded my weekly trips to Target, job descriptions and responsibilities all ready to be unpacked in casual conversation.
I thought holding tightly onto that luggage meant that I was on my way, that I had “made it” and could rest in knowing that my family would never be in need. What God revealed to me was that no matter how cute, how sparkly, how designer the package – at the end of the day, it was still…baggage. And it did nothing to glorify Him as I used to it show off myself and my abilities.
So He took it away.
Oh girl… I love this! I love seeing you come to this conclusion… this realization! Love this: “What God revealed to me was that no matter how cute, how sparkly, how designer the package – at the end of the day, it was still…baggage.” (and I know how you love sparkly!) 😉
Thanks Kimberly!
Loved joining you today 🙂
You are awesome. And I should have added a party banner for you!

Those words could be my own. Such a reminder that we are not alone 🙂 It’s funny sometimes that when He strips all the comforts away, we find the most amazing things underneath. I am thankful for my lost baggage 🙂 Thankful you shared your too!
