Funny fact about me — I have FOMO.

Yes, a big fear of missing out. But as I’ve grown older, what I fear missing has changed.

I used to have FOMO over girls’ nights, dinners out, and trips to Hobby Lobby (and I still love those!). But now, I feel it most when I think about missing my girls and their tiny moments. My priorities shifted.

Six years ago at Passion Conference, Christine Caine spoke about FOMO in a way that changed my perspective. I realized what I truly don’t want to miss out on:

• I don’t want to miss out on what God has planned for me. (Jeremiah 29:11)

• I don’t want to miss out on seeing Christ work in the lives around me. (Ephesians 2:10)

• I don’t want to miss out on being a light in a dark world. (Matthew 5:14)

• I don’t want to miss out on God-given opportunities because of fear. (Psalm 23:4)

• I don’t want to miss out on having peace because I didn’t surrender control. (1 Peter 5:7)

So yes — I have FOMO. But now it’s a fear of missing what God wants for my life.

Do you have FOMO too? I hope there’s a part of all of us that longs for what Christ desires for us.
