Diary Entry #6: Live it | Welcome to The Honesty Circle 🩷✨
You know that phrase, “What’s meant for me will be for me”? I’ve said it so many times, usually after something didn’t work out, as a way to comfort myself. But lately I’ve been asking: do I actually live like I believe that… or do I just say it to feel better?
In this episode, I’m catching you up on a few Honesty Circle updates (hello, Wednesday episodes 👋🏾), inviting you into a new monthly Bible study, and sharing how a simple Black Friday thrifting trip with my sister turned into a whole heart check about control, trust, and outcomes.
Her casual, faith-filled “If it’s meant for me, it’ll still be there” wasn’t a reaction after disappointment. It was her starting posture. And that hit me. Hard. Because I usually pull that phrase out when something doesn’t go my way, not before anything happens.
This week I talk about:
✨Saying “what’s meant for me will be for me” as a coping phrase vs. a lived conviction
✨How control and attachment to outcomes keep me from really trusting God
✨What “living like I believe it” looks like in real life: less tension, less anxiety, more rest and joy
If you’re tired of overthinking every outcome, replaying “what ifs,” or saying faith-filled phrases that you don’t actually feel anchored in yet… this episode is for you. I’m learning how to live like I believe God is good, intentional, and present before I see how it all works out, and I want that for you, too.
