From Wes' questions from yesterday...

I show up strong. I lead, I provide, I handle what’s in front of me. But if I’m being honest, there are times I rely more on my ability than my dependence on God. I know how to push through, and that’s been a strength... but it’s also where I drift.

Nothing in my life is falling apart, which makes it easy to excuse small compromises. A little looseness in discipline. A little inconsistency in time with God. A little overextension. It all feels manageable… but I know that’s not the standard I’m called to.

The truth is, I still protect the part of me that says, “I’ve got this.” That version of me survived a lot... but it’s not supposed to lead anymore.

Surrender for me right now looks simple, but not easy:

Put God first, not after. Tighten what I’ve allowed to drift. And stop leading like it all depends on me.

I don’t need to prove I’m strong.

I need to stay submitted.
