                                            I’m still in awe of last night at Reflect — Pastor Holly Furtick’s Ladies Night. 
What started as just a crazy idea — “what if we had a watch party at my house turned into something so much bigger than I could have imagined.
Yes, I cooked (because food is my love language). 
Yes, sisters gathered around my table, and others Zoomed in from Florida, Arkansas, and outside St. Louis area.
But what left me undone was what God did when we simply came together.
Pastor Holly preached “I’m Called to Carry This” and used a weighted vest as her visual. 
I laughed, because I wear one every day. 
But then it sank in…
How much weight are we carrying that we were never asked to?
👉 Comparison that steals joy.
💔 Jealousy that whispers “you’re behind.”
⚖️ Expectations — from others, from culture, from ourselves.
🗣️ Other people’s opinions that drown out God’s voice.
⏳ Time pressure that makes us feel like it’s already too late.
💵 Money fear that says it’s all on us.
📱 Noise that keeps our eyes off what matters.
🙋♀️ People-pleasing that drains our soul.
That’s the weight that crushes.
But some weight is meant to strengthen us — the resistance, the stretching, the discipline that builds endurance for the call God has actually placed on our lives.
And here’s the shift Holly reminded us of: 
the call of God isn’t heavy — it’s holy. 
When we fix our eyes on Jesus, when we yoke up with Him, He carries what we were never meant to.
I left Reflect lighter. Sharper. More aligned.
And I’ll ask you the same questions Holly asked us:
👉 What are you CALLED to carry in this season?
👉 And what’s weighing you down that it’s time to throw off?
To the women who said yes to my crazy idea to host this watch party — THANK YOU. 
You made it powerful with your presence. You showed up hungry, ready, and open… and God met us right where we were. 💕
And here’s what I know: this isn’t just about one night. This is about sisterhood. 
About creating spaces where we can gather, be real, lift the weight off each other’s shoulders, and remember Who is carrying us.
If you’ve been longing for this kind of connection… this kind of reminder… this kind of sisterhood — consider this your invitation. There’s room at the table. And you don’t have to carry it alone.
