Maybe it doesn’t have to be incredible. Maybe the day doesn’t have to go easy. Maybe I don’t have to be the most wonderful. Maybe it all can just be okay. Maybe okay can be enough.

And then after I’ve accepted that okay is good, maybe I’ll be able to be more compassionate to myself. Maybe once I realize okay is enough, I’ll let God be God. Let God be awesome. Let God bear the burden of outcomes. Let God be the center. Not me being or doing “perfect” (for myself or those around me). Not life being easy or comfortable or together every single moment.

Maybe after I embrace okayness as enough, I’ll more freely give myself and everyone around me grace that can actually transform.

Okay is okay. Be friendly with yourself. Relax into God, the perfect and powerful one. Take a breath.
