I truly believe my husband is one of the best communicators out there. He is so creative, funny and super intelligent when he speaks or preaches! He’s one of the people you can put on the spot and whatever comes out of his mouth is just mind blowing! I’m the COMPLETE opposite! 

Micah & I are two COMPLETELY different people! There’s this quiz you can take online that tells you your top love languages (how you receive and give love), my top two love languages are: physical touch and quality time…those are at the very bottom of Micah’s list. He didn’t even get points for physical touch! Haha! We are complete opposites, so how could I compare myself to him? How could I say I need to sound like him or be like him? To be honest, I have to check myself and ask those questions sometimes. Every now and again I get caught up on what I think people expect of me. But then I remember we are two COMPLETELY different people. How could I compare? I just need to do me.

To feel confident you have to be honest with yourself and ask, “Who am I and what are my gifting?”. Once you figure it out you can work on your gifting and challenge yourself in those areas. Me? I’m really good at just telling people the reality of a situation. I am very realistic and a practical thinker. Once I knew what I was good at, I couldn’t compare myself to Micah or anyone else for that matter. Speaking and being creative was something he was good at, me, not so much and that’s okay! I have things that I’m good at that he isn’t and that’s okay too. I realized more than anything we balanced each other out!

Because I am super practical and realistic, I enjoy all the little details. I love to throw birthday parties for our kids. After I plan everything I always run it by Micah, not because I have to but because I know he is super creative and he might have some input on the party that I didn’t think of. I struggle with thinking outside of the box, he does not. Because he is more charismatic than I am he does all the vocal hosting duties and I do most of the social and detailed duties to make sure everything runs smoothly at the party. That’s a silly example but it’s true! I know what I’m good at, I know who I am so I never have to compare myself or try to be like him. Instead I take advantage of our different giftings and together we throw killer kid’s birthday parties!

Just do you. Work on your gifting! The more you work on your giftings the more confident you become. I can speak from experience, I feel so much less pressure knowing that I don’t have to live up to Micah or to anyone else for that matter. I set my own standards, my own goals because there is no else exactly like me who can do what I can do. So stop comparing yourself to different people. Just do you!

Now, y’all know I’m going to start my own business and it has something to do with health and wellness to help families but what y’all don’t know is it will be geared mostly towards helping moms and babies! Have any ideas yet? Well, you don’t have to wait that much longer to find out! This Monday, on Labor Day I will announce my Dream Project in it’s entirety! Come back then to find out what it is!
