Maybe You're Like Me with Alicia Watson

Maybe you're like me and you need to get your priorities straight.

Are you prioritizing what really matters? I had to hear this today: my focus has been too tied to immediate results and not enough on God's plans. This morning, I was reminded through scripture that God's house and the things He commands us to do should be our priority.

It's easy to get caught up in tasks that seem urgent but aren't aligned with His purpose. What if the small, seemingly insignificant things are exactly where His abundance awaits?

Seeking His kingdom first = a harvest of peace, joy, and abundance. 🌱

Maybe you're like me, realizing that trusting Him means letting go of control and choosing obedience.

Are you willing to shift your focus today?

Trust the process. Prioritize His plans.

Maybe you're like me and you're still learning (and that's a great thing).

In this episode I share about my first winter in Maryland. When I moved to Maryland from Michigan, I thought I could handle any winter weather. But my first snowstorm here? Total disaster.  

I totaled my car and took out a mailbox, all because I underestimated the conditions.  The lesson? Just because you know how to do something doesn’t mean you know how to do it everywhere.  It's about adapting to new environments and staying teachable. 
 
Even as we grow in our faith, we must remain curious and open to learning.
