Creating Order From Chaos FL

Sisters in Faith is a newly formed group at Bayside Community Church- Riverview Campus, created by combining a morning and an evening group. The group's mission is to help women know God, find family, discover purpose, and find freedom. It aims to foster a sense of community, growth, and inclusion through regular meetings, small group discussions, themed gatherings, service projects, social events, and prayer partnerships. Sisters in Faith provides a supportive and nurturing environment where women can deepen their faith, build meaningful relationships, and experience God's love together.

Perfectionism. For some of us, the horror (yes, horror!) of making a mistake is rooted in childhood. Heart racing, sweaty palms, afraid to raise your hand in class because you might get the wrong answer. Taking the chance and getting it wrong, then deciding to never do that again. Another student gets it wrong and tries again anyway. Eventually, they‘ll get one right. Go ahead, take that chance, what’s the worst that can happen? You will learn and eventually, you’ll get it right.

I’ m grateful for this week. Not because it’s over, because let’s be honest, I’m a woman and my work is never done; there’s always dishes in the sink, laundry to do, or another project that needs my attention. I’m grateful for the mistakes, because I lived in spite of them. I did my best and at the end of the day, there’s satisfaction in that. And I learned. We fall down and we get up again. We’ll do better next time. Keep breathing and keep going.

No curated or cute content. Just the truth. I’m terrified of making mistakes, of letting others down, of not being perfect. But you know what? Perfection isn’t real, it isn’t attainable and it isn’t how we learn. I’m deciding today that in order to “fail forward” I have to allow myself the grace to make mistakes. Allow yourself to take the plunge. You don’t have to know exactly what you’re doing. You don’t have to be an “expert”. Just start somewhere and know that it’s ok to fall. You will. Get up and keep going.

Am I the only one who forgets to post to Social Media on Holidays? If so, my bad. Wishing everyone a beautiful, peace-filled Holiday Season. Let the festivities commence!
