Don't get me wrong—I still believe deeply. But I'm wondering if maybe I've been using my faith as a shield 🤔 A way to avoid difficult conversations, complex questions, people who think differently than I do. What if what's best for me is engaging more with people whose beliefs aren't the same as mine?

I think I might have made my world too small 💭 I stayed within safe circles where everyone believed the same things, and that felt comforting. But I'm starting to wonder if comfort is always the goal. What if I need to be challenged sometimes? What if that's where real growth happens?

Maybe what's best for me is being brave enough to question some things 🌍 Not questioning my core faith, but questioning how I practice it. Questioning whether isolation is actually holiness or if it's just fear dressed up as conviction.

I'm realizing I might have confused protection with purity 📖
