Why They Want You To Feel Inadequate//Because You Won't Control What You Don't Believe You Can Do

Have you ever wanted to try something, but talked yourself out of it because you didn’t feel qualified?

I think a lot of us have.

We live in a world that is constantly telling us we need an expert for everything. We need someone trained, certified, polished, and approved before we can cook a meal from scratch, teach our children, grow a garden, make bread, keep a home, or try something new.

And after a while, that kind of thinking gets into us.

We start believing we aren’t enough.

In this video, I’m just sharing some thoughts from the homestead about that very thing. We’ll visit the baby goats for a bit, talk about homemaking, homeschooling, cooking from scratch, sourdough, motherhood, and why I believe so many ordinary people have been made to feel incapable on purpose.

I’m not against true expertise. There are absolutely times when we need people who are trained and experienced.

But I also believe we’ve lost confidence in the simple truth that we can learn. We can try. We can grow. We can do hard things. And when God keeps stirring something in our hearts, maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it just because someone else made us feel small.

Sometimes the thing that feels intimidating is only intimidating until we finally take the first step.

If you’ve ever felt inadequate, or if you’ve pushed past that feeling and learned something you never thought you could do, I’d love for you to share it in the comments. It might be exactly the encouragement someone else needs today.

Until next time, may the Lord Jesus bless you in Spirit and in truth.
