Kate’s Tiny Living Intentions for 2018

One thing I think the end of 2017 has revealed to me: I’m finding my voice again.

For the longest time I had SO much anxiety over posting anything on social media. A previous relationship had convinced me that I shared too much, that nothing I said mattered, that I looked silly, that I shouldn’t think the things I do, I shouldn’t talk about the way I love Jesus so much… “What will people think?” “No one will ever love Jesus as much as you do.” “No one will ever be interested in these things.

This post is gonna be super long.

First of all I just want to say that I’m completely terrified. I know I’m capable, but the project is so big it overwhelms me. Building things isn’t difficult, but building things right is what makes it hard.  I’ve been praying really hard about this whole project and I have peace that God’s going to help me and bring the right people along to advise, guide, pitch-in, and encourage me to do this. He already has and I trust that with Him, we can do this.
