One of the things I love about The VIBE is the stories that live inside these walls. Not just the stories we tell, but the ones people bring with them.
Many of the books throughout The VIBE have been donated by people who wanted someone else to experience the words that once inspired them.
These books are not here to be taken. They are here to inspire.
Today, I picked up a book that was given to me. I opened the pages, and the message I found was exactly what I needed in that moment:“Don’t give up now. We need you.”
Sometimes God has a way of speaking to us through the smallest things.
A book.
A conversation.
A stranger.
A moment of silence.
A simple sentence that somehow finds you at exactly the right time.
And that message reminded me that sometimes we don't realize how much our presence matters. We don't always see who is watching, who is encouraged by us, or who needs us to keep going.
Maybe you're tired.
Maybe you've been praying for an answer.
Maybe you've been questioning whether what you're doing matters.
Maybe you've even thought about giving up.
Don't.
Someone needs your story.
Someone needs your strength.
Someone needs your creativity.
Someone needs your kindness.
Someone needs you to keep showing up.
That is part of what I hope The VIBE becomes a place where we don't just come for coffee or an event. A place where we find something we didn't know we needed.
Today, my message was:
DON’T GIVE UP NOW. WE NEED YOU.
So I'm leaving you with a question:
If God could place one message directly in front of you today, what would you need it to say?
Maybe it's time to stop and listen.
Your message might already be waiting for you.The books are here to inspire. Open a page. You never know what might speak to you.
See you at the VIBE♥️
