I Was at the Doctor Today…

…and beforehand, I had the most unnecessary fear of people.

I kept thinking the doctor might notice my fingernails. They were messily painted blue. By MJ 😅

She didn’t know I had a little daughter.

So in my head, I imagined her thinking, Why would this woman paint her nails like that?

I even pictured myself casually explaining it during the appointment: “By the way, that was my daughter. Cute, right?” Just to make sure she wouldn’t think I did it.

Oh my goodness, girl. Let’s talk about my thinking errors for a second …

I assumed negative thoughts about the doctor before I had even met her.

In my mind, I acted as if there was nothing more important to her than me and my blue fingernails.

That’s the fear of man. I put both her and myself on the throne because her opinion mattered way too much to me.

And in the end? My fingernails didn’t matter at all at the doctor’s office—because something happened that was actually embarrassing.

Proverbs 29:25 says: “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.”

I want to learn to put God’s opinion first—not the opinions of people ♡

Can you relate?
