Summary
My three viral posts:
Cranberry Cream Cheese Jalapeno Dip
To the Girl Who Wished She Hadn't
Why We Stopped Going House-to-House for the Holidays
Virality is an interesting thing. I have experienced it - in its fullness - three times. The feelings that I experienced went from excitement to shame to fear and believing so. many. lies and then all the way back to joy.
On today's episode, I am sharing about my most viral blog posts that brought me to the point I'm at today. I share about what they are, why they blew up and how the Holy Spirit has used my disastrous mess of a past for God's perfect glory.
I'm also addressing the many "haters" (the thorns in our lives) & even the comments from people with conflicting opinions and how that has strengthened my relationship with Jesus.
It was important for me to spend some time encouraging you guys today (because I know everyone has something to say!) to speak out, share that recipe or that story and let people know what God is doing in your life so that you can make much of Him.
Friends, don't allow the lies, the cancel culture or your 'mess' to hold you back from allowing God to use you! He has redeemed and used my extremely "unredeemable" story. He will use yours, too. Because He is good. And this life is all about Him.
Follow along with Lindsey on Instagram @livingeasywithlindsey for tons of honest and heart-challenging posts about faith & relationships, scripture, quotes and encouragement that will call you up in your day-to-day!
