How does Rach Kincaid overcome the comparison trap? Jesus–plain and simple. One of the easiest ways I overcome the comparison trap is by simply refusing to go there. I delete social media off of my phone some days when I need to focus or rest or not be distracted by others’ lives. I speak truth […]
I don’t know about you, but I am an expert at magnifying the bad things in my life. I struggle with this thing called anxiety. And I have a hunch I’m not the only one. Anxiety has the ability to take over my mind, and zoom in on the endless “what ifs?” and “I give ups.” When I’m stuck in […]
Do you feel confident in the place God has planted you? Do you feel equipped with the gifts He’s given you? If you’re like me, it can be hard to trust that God has a perfect plan for us, right where we are, and easy to compare ourselves to everyone else. I asked Ashlee Proffitt how […]
