Confession: Bible nerds absolutely get distracted.

Confession: Bible nerds absolutely get distracted.

Okay, well I don't know every Bible nerd buuuuuuuut Bible nerds are humans and humans get distracted, therefore, Bible nerds get distracted. What I probably can't speak to is how often and to what degree. I can only speak for myself.

As someone who loves the Bible & teaches the Bible (both online and in person at my local church), it would make sense that I'm often reading and studying and just loving all things quiet time and devotions. The truth of the matter is that isn't always the case. I absolutely get distracted in my relationship with Jesus.

Here's the deal: I have the ability to trick my brain into thinking that creating faith-based content or resources (scripture writing plans & Bible studies, etc.) is the same as spending time at the feet of Jesus. And while there can be some overlap, it's not the same thing. That's actually a short-circuited version of what it should be -

Spending time with Jesus results in rich, honest content and resources I can share with others.

But the pressure to perform at the same speed and level as I see on social media constantly tempts me to short circuit the process, cut corners with God, and have the nerve to think that I can point people to a Savior that I don't value enough to give the best of my time and attention.

Wuuuuuuuuut. Let that sink in.

Today on the blog, I’m talking about getting back on track with Jesus when you’ve distracted yourself from Him. Link in bio 😊

Balance in life doesn’t just happen — it’s h

Balance in life doesn’t just happen — it’s hard won and maintained through intentionality and discipline. It’s also not something that remains the same all the time. Balance ebbs and flows and looks different every season, even every day, depending on what is going on in life.

I think balance is more about awareness than perfection. When you know who you are and what you’re capable of, you know your boundaries and limitations. Couple that with the knowledge of what needs to be done and can better navigate when to say “yes”, “no”, “not right now”, or “I actually know someone else who is much better at that than I am, lemme hook you up”. You’ll know when it’s time to take a break or hit the gas, when to involve others or fly solo. But all of this takes time to develop and the patience and humility required to listen to God, yourself, those you trust, and what’s going on around you.

I don’t know what you need today, friend, but here’s what I’ve got - take what you need:

— Permission to let go of perfectionism

— A reminder to listen more carefully

— Encouragement to graciously and confidently pursue balance in your life

When I turned 30 a couple years ago, I wanted to fine-tune my rhythms, routines, spaces, self care and general adulting. Ultimately, I wanted to craft a lifestyle that is both balanced and beautiful for myself and my family. Over time, my general outlook of self care that has evolved into what I now call the Live Well 6. These are areas of wellness and self care that I believe us live well and stay focused on what matters most.

. . .

• LIVE WELL FAITHFULLY -
Cultivate a relationship with Jesus

• LIVE WELL PHYSICALLY - Take care of your body & mind

• LIVE WELL SOCIALLY - Nurture relationships & practice good etiquette

• LIVE WELL ENVIRONMENTALLY - Care for your spaces & steward your resources

• LIVE WELL VOCATIONALLY - Do your best work

• LIVE WELL AVOCATIONALLY - Recharge & play hard

. . .

What areas in your life needs a little extra attention these days? Let me know in the comments! Personally, I’m currently focusing on faith & environment.

I’ve had this song on repeat all week. It’s such a reminder that everything I am, everything I do, everything I say should all be for the glory and magnification of Christ. He is always worthy, always wise, always good, always true, always righteous, and always glorious. ⁠
⁠
. . . ⁠
⁠
Were creation suddenly articulate⁠
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry⁠
From north to south and east to west⁠
We'd hear Christ be magnified⁠
⁠
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence⁠
His name would burst from sea and sky⁠
From rivers to the mountaintops⁠
We'd hear Christ be magnified⁠
⁠
O, Christ be magnified⁠
Let His praise arise⁠
Christ be magnified in me⁠
O, Christ be magnified⁠
From the altar of my life⁠
Christ be magnified in me⁠
⁠
