187: Avoiding Comparison in Dating | Trusting God's Unique Plan for You
Today I discuss the importance of trusting unique plan that God has for you, rather than idolizing the path that others have taken to reach their blessings. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparison, but doing so can actually block you from experiencing your own unique journey and blessings.

Dating has shown me so much about myself. Mostly how far I've come but more recently, how far I have to go. Because of this I've taken a break to realign myself with self and Christ so that I can enter into my next experience even better.
