It's ok if life isn't that tidy. | Episode 136

Let’s start this week off with some good news. Listen to this Monday Mini podcast episode for some quick and practical encouragement to kick off your week and ground you in your calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can start it off centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God. Do you ever feel like your life is a mess? One of Jess’ favorite verses is about oxen, ‘“Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but increase comes by the strength of an ox.” Proverbs 14:4. it essentially says: your stable is clean when there’s not a lot going on, but to see a strong harvest - you’re going to have a messy space. So we will ask you again, do you feel like your life is a mess? A lot of times and a lot of days we get to have the option to have a tidy life or a fruitful one. We get to choose to spend our days using our gifts for the good of others and the glory of God which doesn’t always look as tidy as we hoped. For a life of abundant mission, you should expect a bit of a mess. And we get to expect that God is bringing harvest and He is bringing fruit. We’d encourage you as you start your week, to throw off the feeling of shame or frustration and put your eyes on the hope of harvest. We give you the gift of Proverbs 14:4 and the reminder that God has placed you where you’re at on purpose. And we give you the gift of this question: Do you want a tidy life or a fruitful one? We pray peace and blessings over you as you go throughout your week! We’ll see you Thursday!
