🏊🏼♀️ Remember yelling “Marco!” in the pool with your eyes squeezed shut—just praying for a “Polo!” before you smacked the wall? 😂
Yeah... sometimes trying to hear God feels like that.
We’re reaching, listening, straining for clarity—and all we catch are whispers.
Meanwhile, fear’s yelling...
🗯️ What if I get this wrong?
🗯️ What if I miss it?
🗯️ What if I mess this up?!
Girl, SAME.
It’s all laughs and splashing—until the voices fade and you’re just spinning, half-blind, hoping to smack into something that makes sense. 💦
You’re calling out for direction, craving clarity, and feeling the pressure rise like, “God… where are You in this??"
It’s hard when you’re afraid of missing God's will.
It’s not that we doubt God’s goodness… we just don’t always trust we’re hearing Him right. And when the stakes feel high, we start flailing instead of floating. 😵💫
🔥 HERE’S THE TRUTH:
You're not lost. You're not broken. You're not falling behind!
✨ You’re in process. And God’s very present in it. ✨
Think of Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3). God speaks, and Moses panics: “Wrong guy, Lord.” But God wasn’t looking for polished and confident. He was looking for willing and trusting. 💥 And that shaky “yes” led Moses into miracles he never saw coming.
God, the same yesterday, today & forever, is inviting you closer too.
👀 SO IF FEAR SAYS FREEZE…
Let the Spirit say: Lean in.
That second-guessing? That swirl of frustration? 🌀 It’s often a signal that your breakthrough is right around the corner.
Say it with me louder for the girl in the deep end: Frustration is often the precursor to a breakthrough.
🎯 HERE’S YOUR MOVE:
🤓 Ditch the pressure to “get it right.”
🤔 Get curious instead.
🤩 Curiosity shifts your focus off the fear and onto the Father.
Let your uncertainty fuel exploration.
Let your shakiness pull you deeper into trust.
Let your remembrance of what God has done tenderize your heart again.
Because honestly, you’re not drowning.
👉🏼 You’re riding on your Daddy’s back, splashing and Marco-ing through the deep end together. 👨🏻🍼
Jesus isn’t hiding. The Holy Spirit isn’t playing games. They’re leading you—step by Spirit-led step.
God’s not holding a clipboard in the corner. He’s a proud Dad, cheering wildly for every shaky, even awkward step you take. 🙌🏼
He’s not asking you to nail it. He’s asking you to show up, present and willing—heart open, knees wobbling, hands raised and wrapped around Him.
💛 IF TODAY FEELS LIKE A MARCO POLO DAY…
Take heart. God’s the “Polo” who wants to be found. 💛
He’s got wild, beautiful things to show you when you pause, listen, and trust the next step.
That little bit of faith you’re holding is more powerful than you think. It parts seas, moves mountains, and—YES—gets you walking on some waves. 🏄🏽♀️
📖 REMEMBER:
Romans 8:28 – He’s working every step into a good plan.
Romans 10:17 – Faith comes by hearing… His living voice.
2 Corinthians 12:9 – You're surrounded by grace and it never runs out!
💛 You’re not lost. 💛 You’re being led. 💛 You’re not behind. 💛 You’re becoming.
