It May Look Like I'm Surrounded

 

Surround means to enclose one all sides, to extend around the margin or edge of, encircle. Like when life's circumstances encases you and you don't know how you're going to get out. Or when anxiety and depression rears its ugly head and you can't seem to grab a hold of it. It feels like you're encircled and you're trapped and so you fall into a cycle of being stagnant and accepting  the status quo. 

Then you're stuck, just going around in circles. Making the same bad decisions. Attracting the same dormant relationships. But God!!! Behold, He makes all things new. He makes all things work together for good. Once you find the courage to break out of that cycle and that season of limited or no growth you can truly understand that it may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by you.

Sometimes all we can see is the enemy surrounding us, not realizing  that God has the enemy surrounded and defeated. Therefore we are blessed.

Checking In By Michelle Williams

I remember sitting in a breakout room at a Women's conference waiting to see Michelle Williams speak in 2018. I was so excited to see and hear her in person. Listen!!!! I got to that room early to get a seat! 

On that day she didn't show up and I would later learn the reason why via social media. 

I am so glad that Michelle reached out for help when she needed it the most and that she's sharing her journey with anxiety and depression to help others. 

We know Michelle from the entertainment industry and social media yet you leave the book knowing a woman who has dealt with many of the struggles that we all have encountered. Her level of keeping real in this book is on 💯. 

Checking In is so honest and so transparent. My favorite chapter? Chapter 4 is full of 💎 💎💎!!! 

I wondered how my life would be different if instead of my hurts and disappointments, I offered others a glass full of joy. I wondered what would happen if instead of walking around with a posture of prove it, I walked around with a posture of peace. ~ Michelle Williams
