In My Unbothered Era

Recently I’ve been entering what I'll call my unbothered era.

I’m unbothered by what others think of me – because I know what God thinks of me.

I’m unbothered by what the world tells me I need – because I know God gives me all that I need.

I’m unbothered if doors close or friendships end – because I know there is a reason and a season for everything. God hears and sees things I don’t; what feels like rejection, is always protection.

I’m unbothered by not having it all – because all my riches are in heaven.

I’m unbothered by the hustle culture and feeling like I need to do it all – because there is joy in simplicity.

There is a resounding peace that comes with being unbothered. And it’s not that I don’t care anymore, I think being unbothered has actually made me care MORE.

I care more about my peace, about my identity in Christ, and who I’m called to be – and I want to be that unapologetically.

Because I’m unbothered I swim like a 5-year-old in the pool.

Because I’m unbothered the “no” hurts less.

Because I’m unbothered I’m not wasting time banging on doors that no one will answer.

Because I’m unbothered I feel set free from the chains that once held me down.

I’m not going to waste my time asking why, feeling sorry for myself, or obsessing about what others have said (or may say) – I’m just going to live.

We get one life and to live it well you have to be unbothered.
