Your mistakes won't stop His message.

I was getting ready for brunch, after a night of stressing out over my book — feeling like it would never be perfect, received well, or that it wouldn't be taken seriously thanks to mistakes. Well, that morning God made it a point to reveal to me something that gave my mind peace and released the angst in my heart..."Your mistakes won't stop my message." That alone released a flood of tears that I couldn't control, but when I heard "and your imperfections don't forfeit your purpose," I legitimately ugly cried. As a Christian, these are things we hear all of the time. As a Christian, we're expected for this to be our default mental state. Though that's not the case, at least it's not for me, and maybe I'm alone in that. But I have moments of doubt, times where I question if how I executed my tasks will accomplish His will. 

That reminder was a breath of fresh air. It took away the pressure that I often apply to myself — and it gave me the freedom to celebrate my accomplishment, without  a "but." 

Later that evening my phone rang. It was a friend that I gifted a copy of my book to and she was elated. Before I could get a word in, she yelled "I couldn't put the book down! Ces, oh my God. I read it in less than a day!" She didn't mention a mistake, no instead, she immediately plunged into the parts of the book that convicted her and caused her to begin soul searching for clarity in how she dates. 

Mission accomplished.

XO,
Ces

P.S.
I don't know what your mind is telling you wasn't good enough once you completed it or what part of your purpose feels unobtainable, but it's all a lie. You're capable. You were given the assignment because you're able to see it through. You already possessed every skill and characteristic necessary to bring it to fruition. You are called, you were chosen, you are able, and you will succeed. I can't wait to see you soar!
