If someone asked you what your gifts are, would you be able to answer them?

I was talking to my mom last night and telling her how I had the privilege of doing some makeup on my friends this past week. Of course I loved it! ⁣

Makeup is something that I am comfortable with, and that I’ve done for a long time.

I was telling my mom that it wasn’t about the makeup, it was about helping these women feel beautiful and see themselves may be a little differently. Like how the world sees them. ⁣
⁣
As I was doing makeup, one of the women (looking at you @lacemuller 😍) said to me “I know you don’t want this to be your gift, but it is.” That stopped be dead in my tracks. ⁣
⁣
I have a tendency to always inadvertently compare myself to others and I never feel like I’m as good as someone else. Maybe it’s because I am always chasing after that shiny gold star. ⭐️

But I’ve never viewed my love of doing someone’s makeup (or hair) as one of my 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘴. ⁣
⁣
It helped me see that maybe makeup and hair is one of my gifts, but it’s so much more than that to me. Truly, it’s about 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. And, it’s about seeing someone. It’s about 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 them. ⁣

What if you were asked, “What are your gifts?”

Would that be a hard question? I really want to know – would you struggle to answer that?

What if we started asking, “what do you love and what are your passions?” ⁣
