This is such a good and important message. I've had to read it a few times and reflect on ways I've been prideful in this area. It's tricky because it sometimes shows up as false humility--and, as you so wisely pointed out, perfectionism. One of my core nemeses. What I'm feeling some guilt and shame over now is that as I look around, I don't actually have anything to share...I've been so tripped up over second guessing and inertia and perfectionism and fear I've not actually created. The last thing I "made" that wasn't breakfast is a series of watercolor swatches just to see the colors.
Another stumbling block is the area of community and social media...do I share only from my personal account? Do I create and share on an art & business specific account? What about when all my offerings are so different? Just some areas I'm working through...as always, thank you for your amazing devotionals and encouragement!
Thanks for sharing your reflections, Hillary! Pride can really sneak up on us in various forms. I pray for grace as you overcome and dismantle its hurdles in your journey. 🙏🙏🙏 rooting for you!
