That Awkward First Post

Updated: 4 days ago






For a while now it has been on my heart to write a blog, although I don't even know if anyone reads blogs anymore, thanks to short form video content. However, whether blogs are a thing for people or not really has nothing to do with me, seeing that the whole point of this blog is to hopefully send a message of love to anyone who happens to come across it.


This brings me to my first point, why a blog and why now? Well, if you have ever come across any of my content on any platform, you would know that I pretty much stay in my little cubicle of the world where you would most likely find me designing and making a new dress, top, or culottes or biking on my favorite trail and hitting my mileage PR. But every now and then, I'll prop my phone up somewhere, open my camera app and record myself saying a few words to the seven people on the other side of my phone. The subject that I would be talking about is the same every time I get bold enough to make one of those videos and post them, which is Jesus.


So that's it. That's the answer to the first question. I've had it on my heart for a little bit now to start a blog about Jesus. I've spent the past 3 years creating and building my own name's sake women's wear brand and getting my first little taste of the daunting world of entrepreneurship which was a bumpy yet exhilarating ride. I still have every intention to continue doing more with the Morgan Dallas brand one day (a rebranding if you will) but being a self-starter is heavy and the bedroom dress making factory is on pause for the moment, at least until I can go from my bedroom to a studio.


The answer to the second question is simple. At this point, I've felt like I should pivot and take time out to be a bit more intentional about my why and my life's message. For as long as I can remember, my life has only been about one thing (by now you get it) but of course every now and then there seems to be another reason to live offered to me on a silver platter and it's always so shiny and new and presumably appetizing. Sometimes it's money, other times it's "security", more times than not it's been status served with a side of pride, and predominantly it's been the opinion of man (DUH-DUH-DUUUUHHH!!). I won't sit here and type out a lie that says that "I've never taken the bait" because hello, I'm actually not an AI robot typing this out, I am in fact human. However, God's grace and His Holy Spirit have always helped me to readjust and come back to the main thing (or in this case, the main person).


Jesus is everything to me, even though I do things that displease Him sometimes. When I haven't sat still long enough to listen to His heart in the quietness of the morning, when I can't keep my eyes open while reading His word, and ESPECIALLY when I choose entertainment over His presence. I still strive to consistently prioritize Him in all of my humanity and messiness even when I simply just don't wanna.


If He is already everything to you reader, praise God, we are siblings in the faith and I can't wait to see you in Glory! But if He isn't, and your heart is weary of searching and the promotion, the new marriage, the new baby, the new house, the new job, or even that dream vacation hasn't solved that unavoidable emptiness that follows you around like a shadow, I want to use this blog to let you know those things will never be enough and the applause will in fact end one day. You will never ever, ever, ever, EVER find your life's satisfaction in another created thing, so go ahead and save your money, end that situationship, lighten up the workload that you put on your own plate because deep down you want to impress them and surrender to Jesus. He may not be everything to you personally yet, but He is still everything even while you continue to stress yourself out trying to achieve a bunch of nonsense that won't actually make you happy.


If you've made it to the end, thank you and I'll see you in a few.

Love,

Morgan
