Hi, I'm Dawn

🩷πŸͺ΄[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], did you play with Barbies?

Did you see the Barbie movie, Reader?

There were definitely ideas from the movie that resonated with me. Whether you like it or not, Barbie has impacted you. It blows me away how successful that movie continues to be.

Did you know that "What Was I Made For" from the movie's soundtrack was the song of the year?​

I think that is because the song connects us since we struggle to know our true purpose in life.

Unreal expectations

You see, Reader, I've always defined myself through what I looked like, the careers I've had, and the specific roles I've played in life. Ironically, playing with Barbies as a little girl probably added to my ideas about identity. My older sister had quite the Barbie collection, and I wanted to be different. I can remember going to her friend's house to play Barbies. I knew my mom was telling her she had to take me along. I always had fun when I went, but I still felt I didn't belong there. Heck, I was even pretending to enjoy playing with them because that was the expectation.

All those ideas played into how I answered the question, "What was I made for?"

It's easy just to say Jesus is the answer to that dilemma. However, Christianity can also put a "Barbie Standard" on us. In many ways, my church life added to my misunderstandings of why God made me. That's because the church can be another place that defines behaviors based on gender. That's why when I heard about the song's success again this past week, I felt it would be a good opportunity to address that question again.

Asking what I was made for, Reader

Let's be real; we must discover what we were truly made for and start living the life that aligns with our creator's plan for each of us.

Let's uncover false expectations and continue growing fruit together!

Join Little Pot and the other vessels as they discover why the potter made them.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Fruitful Friday, Reader! I don't have to remind you that this weekend is Mother's Day. Mother's Day without a Mom I never appreciated Mother's Day much until I had to celebrate it without a mom. My mom died when I was 19 years old. As all kids and teenagers do, I lived the first nineteen years focused on myself. I never realized what a mom did and never thought it could be that difficult. Mother's Day as a Mom I couldn't wait to be a mom myself. I anticipated...

Hi, Reader! This fruitful Friday, we are doing some cutting! I think I told you my word for the year is forward. I chose that word because, in January, I did a Bible study called Don't Look Back. I chose the study and the word because I want to ensure I am not dwelling on things in my past. God reminded me of that this week when I longed for past relationships, jobs, and experiences. He gently reminded me, "I cut that out of your life for a reason." Ouch! Cutting can hurt. For Little Pot,...
