"Right now it feels like the highest validation in your life is men thinking you're beautiful but it is an extremely exhausting cup to keep filling" YES YES YES. We women are programmed to think it's the ultimate compliment, but really being appreciated for our brains and our personalities is SO much more fun to maintain. All of your tips...soooooo wise.
Okay YES! to that last point you made about your 19 y/o self being disappointed if they knew where you were now because the values were different!!!! I am 33 and a mom now and can 1000% relate that. Yes little 19 y/o you might be disappointed but you wait and see the blessings and joy that you get to thank God for everyday and you will wonder why you ever cared about those other things.
3 months later... but #14 & 20 hit me hard. Thanks for being so real and cool โจ๏ธ I also turned 29 in January, and I think I'd tell myself "God's not finished yet, have faith, slow down, find grace, less is more". Well actually I'd have to tell myself to come back to Christ because the world doesn't have to offer what you're looking for ๐ซฃ and then I'd tell myself that!
love it! still in my early/mid 20s, and it's all so relatable. love your honesty!
Well said. I am in my 50s and I was able to relate. Thank you.
Excellent video & advice! Thank you for sharing ๐
This is such a beautiful video with so much wisdom!! I'm 31, trying to learn these things, got lots to process. I'm inspired by your journey. Happy birthday!
Happiest birthday Jess! ๐ฅโคโจ
Happy Birthday ๐ Enjoy your cake! Thank you for your great wisdom! I would just like to add that it pertains to us older women, too. I will be sixty in less than a week, and I totally enjoy your channel! Love from Canada โค
I feel this! Turned 30 this month and I joke that Iโve lived an entire lifetime already. Many older people in my life insist that 30s-40s were their best and favorite years. Iโm looking forward to whatโs to come!
Happy birthday! Personally, I'm loving my 30s - I feel more stable in being me at long last!
I just found your YouTube channel and I love it! You are so wise for your age. Iโm 36 and learning from you. Do you have any videos on how you helped your skin get better?
Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy your special day ๐ Thanks for another great video!! God bless you and your family.
#14- powerful. I stopped the video and reached out to the person I love with gracious words, I struggle with wanting to motivate and challenge people I love to be better versions of themselves but comes across harsh.. gentleness
๐ฅณ๐ฅณ All very good points. As I sit here at 38 with 2 children, I know I was a very silly, misguided 20-something. But God!
Lucky us... I got birthday cake to eat too! My daughter's birthday was on the 17th so it's half gone, waiting for my 50th on the 20th.
Girl โค powerful โค as God weaves through it all, thatโs what makes it all the bomb learnings โDonโt do Ketoโ ๐๐๐ had me in stitches Grace, grace and more Grace - Amen sister
I really enjoyed that... such good points and funny too. "You little hothead." ๐
Happy birthday!!! ๐๐๐๐ I love your videos so informative, deep, direct and shortโฆ
