Comparison is a constant struggle for me. More times than I care to admit, I compare myself to others— physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, vocationally (or any other way you can think of!) Name something that I can compare or measure against, and I’m guilty of doing so. I’m working to arrest this behavior in myself. They say the first step is admitting it, right?
Today I want to introduce you to my friend Delaney Woodward. She’s a youth pastor, a mama, a disciple of Jesus, a devoted wife, and a talented writer and dreamer. It would be easy to compare myself to her and see all that I lack. Instead, I’d love highlight the beauty she has created in the form of an online magazine called True&Lovely. This quarterly gem is filled with a variety of articles including health, beauty, devotionals, recipes, book reviews and stunning photography.
Delaney and her team have found a way to showcase the talents and gifts of many insightful, inspiring women in this gorgeous publication. Instead of comparing, T&L is cheering, uplifting, encouraging and highlighting others!
