Silent Rides- Blocked Blessings

Hey y’all! I know it’s been a minute since I posted anything and I apologize for that, but most importantly I apologize to myself for not showing up. Ok now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into it.

A few months ago, I started occasionally driving in silence. It was weird and uncomfortable because I always like some type of noise going on. Don’t ask me why, I just do. But the first time, this word just hit my spirit: “Don’t block other people’s blessings because of your disobedience.” That about took me out!

I often feel in my heart to do something but don’t follow through, either because “I don’t feel like it” or I doubt my ability to do what’s being asked of me. Then it hit me again: “I mistake my lack of confidence for humility. Don’t have confidence in my ability but have confidence in God working through me.” I wanted to turn on that radio so QUICK! But then I realized that all the noise and distractions stop me from hearing God. He speaks in a still, quiet voice, and it’s hard to hear that with constant noise.

The last thing coincided with what I’ve been praying for—to learn myself and to see myself the way God does. It hit me that I have to try things to see if I like them. I always say I don’t know what makes me happy besides good food and sleep, and I don’t have any hobbies. How can I find a hobby if I don’t try anything? It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. Shoot, writing is a hobby! The more I know God, the more I’ll learn about myself. He lives within me.

So, what’s something that you’ve been constantly putting off that could be blessing others? It could be as small as a phone call. What are some hobbies that y’all have? I might try them out.
