7.9.24 - Help my unbelief
Good morning ,
Have you ever known something but you just can't seem to believe it?
There is a vision that God gave me after I launched Naturally Created 4 You. I don't want to share too many details but it's a bright space that will be used for more than skin care.
You know what's really frustrating? Not knowing. I wish I wasn't frustrated but I can't help but wonder when this will happen.
You know what's even more frustrating? Knowing something is going to happen and then being told to do something that is completely opposite of what makes sense to have this space.
At the end of 2023 God was telling me to stop promoting my wholesale company. At the time my wholesale company was making significantly more than retail. While it was confusing to me I was happy to do so. I was ready to pour my all into Naturally Created 4 You.
Shortly into 2024 I was convicted that I needed to start posting more on my personal Tik Tok account. Okay no problem. Then I was reminded that I am supposed to write a book. Okay sounds hard but I'll do it sometime this year. I have plenty of time right? Around the same time I was given a series of video topics to outline my faith journey on YouTube. About a month and a half ago I was reminded that I needed to devote more time to this YouTube channel and I set a goal to get it monetized this year.
At this point I am frustrated. Here I am thinking the Lord wants me to stop putting my all into wholesale so I can put my all into this business, all the while my all is actually being poured into something completely unrelated to skin care. In between all this I'm doing a bible study with a group of women and I've realized I have serious control issues with God's plan.
Fast forward to July 7, 2024. I was out on an evening walk and I was telling God that I did not understand how any of this was going to work out. How many of you know that God is not going to change the plan because we get impatient or confused?
Then I realized that the only way any of this is going to work out is if I get out of the way. I started asking God to help my unbelief. I must have prayed those 3 words 50 times.
I don't get why it can be so hard, but that's where faith comes in. In John 20:29 - Then Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
I have no clue what is happening, but I do know that God has a plan. He knows my capacity and my resources, and he isn't phased by what I lack.
It dawned on me this morning that I tell you every week "it's always more than skin care." This year I've seen how true that statement actually is.
I don't know what you are experiencing right now but if you are struggling to make sense of anything - take a moment to ask God to help your unbelief.
I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)
