The other night, I sat down to reply to a text. That was it. Simple mission. Within minutes, Instagram was open. I was scrolling. And I hadn’t even responded yet. You know the story. You pick up your phone to check the weather, send a quick reply, maybe glance at your calendar… and 30 minutes later, you’ve watched two reels, checked three comments, and somehow ended up deep in the art of making pickle dip. IYKYK.

Sarah laughed at God—and then got called out. Genesis 18 reminds us that the space between what we want and what God says is often where growth happens. In this reflection, I explore trusting God’s timing, putting family first, and learning to follow His plan, even when it doesn’t match our own.

I don’t run for fitness. I don’t run for fun. But give me a deadline or a mission I believe in? I’m sprinting, and spoiler alert, that sprinting has sent me straight to burnout. I don’t know why I’m wired this way. Why I equate success with hustle. Why I feel most alive when I’m contributing, moving, fixing, and leading. I have a hard time sitting still. I like results. I like action. And yes, I’ve been called a control freak more times than I can count.
