I remember writing that and how scared I was for the reaction. I mean, my page wasn’t created for anything other than hair and here I was telling you all I was done with the hustle. As I watched the number of followers leave for the next several weeks, it stung. As a people pleaser my entire life, the idea of disappointing others or them not liking me, could easily send me into a spiral. I turned back my focus to God and continued to pray and ask for peace and guidance on where I’d go from there. How do I go from full time hustle to prioritizing my home, my husband and the little humans that will come into our lives? Am I suppose to share our journey? Do I talk about infertility? Do I share what You’re doing? Why would you ask me to give this side of my career up when it’s seemingly felt fruitful? And I kid you not, the answer came in minutes, “sometimes I give My kids everything, to see if they’ll give it up and follow Me.” For some of you who might not believe, that could feel completely stupid and unrealistic. But for me, it’s exactly what I needed to move forward. As I kept my eyes on Him and my ears and heart open for change, He began to show me the fruits of obedience. Each step that I’ve taken to abandon my old way of being and living life, the bigger the harvest has been. I see the fruits in my health, my marriage, motherhood, my home and yes, even my career. So again, I am following in obedience and posting about things that will lose followers. And allowing God to give me the strength to be vulnerable and not be afraid to share our journey. I hope this is an encouragement to some of you and maybe the post you needed to see to make that step forward in letting go of what you thought your life was “suppose” to look like. Everything you could ever want, could be on the other side of obedience.
