Someone needed to hear this tonight⌠maybe itâs you.
Real Talk with the Pond Guy of the South
Lately Iâve been fighting something in my mind I donât talk about much â doubt.
Over the past year I gave up drinking, got baptized, and committed my life to walking with God. I walked away from the old version of myself and started trying to live differently.
But if Iâm being real tonight⌠there are moments where my mind starts asking questions.
Did I make the right decision?
Why does it feel harder sometimes?
Why does it feel like everything is a battle?
Then I remind myself of something importantâŚ
The old life wasnât strength.
It was escape.
It numbed the pressure but it never gave me peace.
Faith doesnât mean you never struggle. Faith means when those thoughts come, you take them to God instead of running back to what used to numb you.
So tonight I prayed.
I prayed for peace in my mind.
I prayed for my business.
I prayed for God to keep guiding my steps even when things feel uncertain.
And maybe someone reading this needs to hear this tooâŚ
Just because youâre struggling doesnât mean youâre failing. Sometimes it means youâre growing.
If youâre fighting your own battles tonight, keep going. Donât give up.
God didnât bring us this far to leave us here.
