“Follow your heart.”

While normally exegetical, the pastor at my church preached a sermon on a commonly misconstrued phrase that is not in the Bible. While it feels (and looks) right on the outside, at its core, that phrase makes it so that you completely rely on yourself and your gut instincts.

That’s a lot of pressure.

But, we end up relying on ourselves more often than not (at least I do).

How open are we to:

  1. Asking for help from the people in our community?
  2. OK with not being “the best” at everything?
  3. Good with not knowing the answer?

My car got stuck in the sand at the beach recently. I was not well-equipped to get it out of the sand myself – but my father-in-law had a truck and could drag it out.

Lean into your community.
