Stay Humble...

Stay Humble...

None of us sit high enough to look down on anybody.

That’s something life has taught me over and over again.

When I look back on my journey, I see how many times God has had to humble me—not to tear me down, but to shape me. Through marriage, motherhood, homeschooling, loss, and building a business, I’ve learned that none of us get through this life on our own strength.

I’ve walked through seasons that broke me. Seasons where I had to let go of relationships that were unhealthy and harmful for me spiritually and emotionally. That wasn’t easy. Walking away from people you love, or people you’ve known for years, can feel like losing part of yourself. But sometimes humility means admitting that not everyone can go where God is taking you.

I’ve had to deny myself. I’ve had to lay down pride. I’ve had to admit when I was wrong. I’ve had to forgive when it hurt. I’ve had to keep my mouth shut when I wanted to defend myself. And I’ve had to trust God when I didn’t understand why certain doors closed.

Homeschooling my son for 12 years taught me humility too. There were days I questioned if I was enough, if I was doing it right, if I was preparing him well for life. But God showed me that faithfulness matters more than perfection. It wasn’t about me having all the answers—it was about trusting Him to lead.

Walking through grief after losing loved ones humbled me deeply. Loss has a way of stripping away what doesn’t matter and reminding you how fragile life really is. It teaches you compassion because you realize everyone is carrying something.

Even helping build our family business has been humbling. It takes sacrifice, hard work, and perseverance. There’s no room for pride when you know the only reason you’ve made it through hard seasons is because God sustained you.

Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

That verse reminds me that no matter what I’ve overcome, no matter what I’ve accomplished, I’m no better than anyone else. Everything I have is because of God’s grace.

The truth is, we all have struggles people know nothing about. We all need mercy. We all need grace.

And if God has brought me through anything, it’s not so I can stand above someone else—it’s so I can reach back and help pull someone else through.

Humility keeps your heart soft.
Humility keeps you teachable.
Humility keeps you dependent on God.

Because the ground at the foot of the cross is level.

None of us sit high enough to look down on anybody.

So stay humble.
Because without God, none of us would be standing where we are today.
