You’re Too Grown

yeah, today's episode is called You're Too Grown.

I literally...

Every Sunday, well, not every Sunday, but most Sundays I'll be on the way to church.

And literally before I pull into the parking lot, God starts to download into me what it is that he wants a devotion to be about, but also what the podcast episode should be about.

And the other Sunday, not yesterday or last Sunday, but the Sunday before that is He told me, girl, nah, he didn't say girl, but basically like, you're too grown.

So before anybody gets offended, I'm talking to myself first.

And I just started writing out what I was hearing God say to me.

And I just want to share with you Some of those things, because lately I've had to have some really real conversations with myself that sound like this.

Jessica, girl, you're too grown for this.

And not necessarily grown in age.

I'm talking about grown spiritually, grown mentally, grown in wisdom.

and also grown in experience.

And there are some things that may have made sense for an older version of you that simply cannot go with the woman or God, or I'm sorry, the woman or man that God is calling you to become.

And I think one of the hardest parts about becoming is realizing that Everything you have outgrown isn't necessarily bad.

Some things just don't serve you anymore.

Some habits don't serve you anymore.

And honestly, this is where it hurts sometimes, but there are some relationships that don't serve you anymore.

And there's also some environments that don't serve you anymore.

And I know this past weekend in Charleston, I was reminded of that, if I'm being honest, that there are just certain environments that I don't care to be in.

And I am...

Learning to have boundaries in place because I do have some friends that, you know, like certain environments still and that's something towards them or that's something bad.

I just know for me, there are certain things and environments that I'm outgrowing.

And there are some versions of myself that don't serve who God is calling me to be anymore.

And at some point, you have to be grown enough to recognize that.
