Have you ever outgrown something you loved? As you age and you recollect fond memories of an item or place, its called “nostalgia.” To us, nostalgia means, “I miss it. I’m just too big or too old for it now.”
You outgrow clothing, jobs and even other folks. There’s a new catch word for things we’ve outgrown. They’re called GOALS. When we want to move from one phase of life or task, folks put plans in place for the shift. However, there are times when we don’t plan to outgrow stuff or other folks. It simply happens.
Here’s our master list of things to outgrow:
1. God knows we hope you outgrow trusting folks who show you they are not trustworthy. So many pains, beliefs and hearts flip inside out due to this one thing.
2. We hope you get so big for your britches you don’t let your discomfort or fear of being disliked keep you from advocating for yourself.
3. Outgrow being too shy, uncomfortable or to self-conscious to accept praise or a compliment.
We got one mo’. It’s too much to be numbered so we’re gonna put it in prayer right now.
We gonna pray right now and ask God to intervene.
Lord God, we ask You to make it so every eye reading this and every heart touched by it outgrows staying in one-sided relationships that do not reflect the light in this person or the good you have for them. Ameen.
Find the guts to do what you need for your stability. If you never get the guts, do it scared. You’re worth it. Now, let’s go outgrow some stuff!
See ya soon,
THE HIM and Naaila
