Making Decisions and Experiences from the Overflow

Have you ever had something so good that it scared you? A love, a moment, an opportunity, a dream, and instead of leaning all the way in, you pulled back because you were afraid it might vanish? Sometimes the fear of losing what we love keeps us from fully experiencing it. We sip slow, hesitate, or hold back because deep down we wonder, What if this is too good to be true?

As I continue my journey with Hello Social Light, I want you to know something upfront. This platform is not designed to be a ministry space in the same way that Tabitha’s Tea Party has been. But it will always be a place for inspiration, empowerment, and light.

For me personally, I still pull my inspiration and spiritual guidance from the Bible. That is my source. But if you are new here and you do not identify as a Christian or with any particular faith, you are welcome here. I am not trying to convert anyone. I believe faith, in whatever form we hold it, is an essential part of human growth and development. I simply share from the well that I draw from, and I hope what I write gives you something to lean on too.

The other day I was talking with my mom about this drink I had. It was so good that I did not want it to end. I found myself sipping it slowly, almost reluctantly, because I did not want the cup to be empty. When it was gone, I did not even want to pour another one, because part of me thought, If I get used to this, it will only hurt more when it is gone. And that is when it hit me. I do this in other parts of life too. When something is so good, so rich, or so meaningful, sometimes I pull back. I do not lean all the way in because I am scared of losing it. I tell myself, Do not get too comfortable, do not hope too much, do not dream too big. That is scarcity talking. That is fear whispering. And it does not align with my faith at all.

David wrote, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.” Overflow. Abundance. More than enough. That is the God I believe in. Not a God of lack, but a God who fills cups until they run over.

So here is the reminder I needed this week, and maybe you do too. If you are holding back because you are afraid the goodness will dry up, do not. If you are hesitant to embrace love, opportunities, promotions, or dreams because you think, This might disappear, do not shrink back. Lean in. Drink deeply. Trust that there is more where that came from.

Because when you live from overflow, you stop making decisions out of fear and start experiencing life out of faith. And that is where abundance lives.

I hope this brings a little light to wherever you have been feeling doubtful or fearful. May you have the courage this week to sip without hesitation and to live from the overflow.

I also hope to see you on November 1st at SPARK, where we lean into abundance and light.
