Daily BITUB- “Help”

“Help”

There is strength in saying, “I need help.” Sometimes our pride tells us we should be able to handle everything on our own. Other times, fear convinces us that asking for help will make us look weak, vulnerable, or like we’ve failed. But I’m learning that asking for help isn’t weakness. It takes courage. We were never meant to carry every burden alone. God places people in our lives for a reason… to encourage us, pray with us, stand beside us, and sometimes simply help carry the weight when ours becomes too heavy. That means sometimes we are the ones doing the carrying…and sometimes we have to be willing to let someone carry us.

Don’t let pride keep you silent.

Don’t let fear keep you isolated.

Don’t convince yourself that you have to have it all together.

There is no shame in saying, “I’m struggling.” There is no weakness in saying, “I can’t do this by myself.” And there is incredible courage in reaching out your hand and saying, “Can you help me?” I’ve always believed in being strong for others, but I’m learning that real strength also means allowing others to be strong for me. We need each other. We were designed that way. So when life gets heavy, pray. Give it to God. But also remember that sometimes God answers our prayers through the people He places around us.

Never be too proud to ask.

Never be too afraid to reach out.

And when someone reaches out to you…grab their hand and don’t let go.

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is from Galatians 6:2.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Have a great day ahead everyone.

Daily BITUB- “The Small Things”

“The Small Things”

Sometimes the greatest blessings in life aren’t the big, unforgettable moments. They’re the little things we almost forget to notice. The morning cup of coffee. A familiar voice on the phone. A hug that lasts a few seconds longer. Laughing with someone you love. A quiet drive home. Sitting around the table with family. A sunset you almost didn’t stop to watch. Simply waking up and being given another day. We spend so much of our lives looking ahead waiting for the next accomplishment, the next opportunity, the next big thing, the next answered prayer that sometimes we miss the blessings God has already placed right in front of us. Life has taught me that nothing should be taken for granted. I’ve forgotten that lately. Thing is, people change. Seasons change. Circumstances change. And sometimes the ordinary moments we barely notice today become the memories we would give anything to experience one more time.

So slow down.

Say “I love you.” Make the phone call. Give the hug. Take the picture. Laugh until your stomach hurts. Don’t take yourself so serious. Sit a little longer at the table.Watch the sunset. Thank God for the people beside you and the breath in your lungs. You don’t need a perfect life to have a blessed life. Sometimes you just need to recognize how much you already have. Today, I’m choosing to appreciate the little things, because I’m realizing more and more the little things were never really little at all. Be present. Be grateful. Love deeply. And never take today for granted.

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is from Psalm 118:24. 

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” 

Have a great day ahead everyone.
