GRACE through FAITH Photography

🎓🥳

Seriously love getting these graduation cards!

Especially from the kids I've gotten to capture and watch grow and blossom over the past few years! 🥰

What does this verse mean to you? How do you interpret it or put it into practice?

Lately, God has really been trying to grow me in this area… if I let Him. 🤍

I’ve realized how easily I make everything about me and it's frustrating!

Am I doing enough?
Am I doing it right?
Am I growing spiritually?
Why am I still struggling with the same things?
Why do I feel like I should be farther along by now?
How can I feel so surrendered one day and so self-condemning the next?

I put so much pressure on myself sometimes. Striving for perfection. Trying to meet expectations that were never meant for me to carry in the first place.

So lately, I’ve been asking myself:

How do I fully release that to Him?

How do I truly rest in His presence and trust that my identity is fully found in Him?

Maybe this is what “be still and know” really means for me right now.

Not striving.
Not overextending myself.
Not trying to earn what Jesus already gave freely.

Just resting.
Trusting.
Surrendering.

Learning to be more like Mary and a little less like Martha 😅

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts today. Do you struggle with this too? Any encouragement or wisdom that’s helped you in seasons like this?
