I’ve been single and celibate since 2011 (I was about 28 at the time). It’s now 2024. I turn 40 in August. For years I held silent resentment and FOMO about people in relationships. I was so afraid that I was missing out on life. I looked on social media and I was so jealous and just angry at God. I pretended for so long I was ok and when I finally confessed it to God the fear of missing out left me as far as relationships. And you know what? He has given me peace. I’m single and I’m not mingling and I’ve decided that since I’m single Lord we are going to make the best of this! ❤ The grass is greener where you water it. I’ve decided to water mine. If I’m minding other peoples business then who is minding mine? 🧐

[@shellyb357]

Thanks for sharing. We are sailing in the same boat with Jesus, my sister. 🎉

[@purplecatz7474]

I was JUST saying to my friend last night that I feel like I’m about to turn 50 and miss having someone. I was upset because turning 50 I thought I would have had a husband and family but I don’t. I will be planning my own 50th bday celebration instead of me and my ‘husband’ going somewhere together celebrating. And now this morning I see your message. Thank you for sharing! I know I’m not alone and I have to think of things just like you said. 💜

[@kayendajohnson1364]

JOMO 💛💛💛

😊😊😊😊

[@kimberlywillis8865]

Well said, beautiful Sister & sisters... watch the Lord make you shine brighter for His glory.❤🫂❤

[@visionyouniversity]

Girl!!! You preached this!! This will likely end up being one of your viral videos! You dropped so many gems in this. I'm going to watch it again to get the crumbs I left on the table!! Keep doing you, Sis!! Love you!! 🙂

[@MissSmartandSweet]

FOMO diminishes your view of your life 20:46 You will realize one day that the only enjoyment you get out of life is watching what others do with theirs 21:40. I have been here for many years, thinking I am happy for others when in reality I have diminished and not been happy about my life and lived vicariously through other people's lives. Thankful to God for this wisdom!

[@rosemaryhoustondozier1059]

Thank you Chrystal for this eye opening nudge!! I am now experiencing the power of just being . I am where and with who God intended for me to be at any given moment🙏🏾🙏🏾 you can still get the vacation or experience but it just might be at a different time in your life. I am a caregiver for my mom and the joy of still having one and being able to spend quality time with her is irreplaceable. It’s not always easy but it’s worthed!! ❤️🙏🏾

[@Leah__Ro]

This was a TED Talks 👏🏾 I have felt overcome with some of these feelings in various areas. Thank you Lord for where I am in this season.Thank you for sharing. "Only enjoyment you get out of life is watching what people do with theirs"😯😬 "Joy is a disposition, an attitude - it is a gift" "What brings me joy in this season? What could bring me joy in this season?"

[@crowningglory6654]

Wowwww. This video reminds me of the peace that Jesus gives. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John14:27 A fruit of the Holy Spirit

[@chiomabassey1538]

Fomo-fear and scarcity Jomo- Abundance... True WORD, thank you Crystal

[@ChrystalHurst]

Absolutely!

[@rucababe5254]

This life is too precious to FOMO it all away.

[@aliciaboydblessedlife]

Love this!!! Perspective is everything. We must appreciate the blessings we have right now!!! We can create joyful moments and memories right where we are. Thanks for this reminder.

[@DelightfullyLisa]

“Who is Nan?!” 😂😂😂😂😂 loved this entire message and the laugh I got from this part! 😂❤

[@visionyouniversity]

RIGHT!!!! That part got me, too! I hollered!! 🤣🤣

[@4Home_with_Michelle]

Love this!❤❤❤❤❤ No matter your situation, look for the joy! Once you stop comparing yourselves to others, you'll be quick to see your joy!!! 🎉

[@deedraglass]

OH!!!! The JOY of RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[@caw.kwhbpw]

Wow, you found my heart again! I just love the insight God gives you. I have said it before and I'll say it again, thank you for finding us, meeting us where we are, and then helping us to soar! (Mandisa's song Overcomer is playing in my heart after listening to everything you shared tonight.) While I'm missing out on some things by choice, I'm digging in and strengthening my spiritual fighting position by praying and studying God's Word. I may be missing out on other things, but I'm abiding and focused on being "all in" with the hope that the Lord will continue illuminating His Word to me. Oh that everything would become shadows as I pant for and press toward the Lord. Thank you! 🙏☺️🙏

[@paulalawrence3811]

Chrystal this was so timely for me. Since turning 50 in December, I have been thinking about what or where I should be. FOMO is real!!! I need to stop judging my accomplishments on this stick that I think I don't measure up to because I am looking at other people and where they are from what I see. This lesson has truly made me think of how to find the joy of where I am currently in life. I love how God imparts wisdom ro you so you can share it with us!!! Continue to be great my sister. 😊

[@visionyouniversity]

Amen!! I can definitely relate to your story!!

[@velenciaharris665]

You're SPEAKING to me, Sister~Chrystal! I did this this past Christmas Eve... In honoring what would have been my sweet Mommy's 77th Birthday, now celebrating her in GLORY; I truly enjoyed being with myself and in the Presence of the LORD!... Not "fearful of what I may miss out" on! I chose to enjoy, reflect, renew, and restore... As it has become my mantra for 2024!!! Every day in every way, I am looking more and more like Mommy!!! Today, respectfully speaking, you're looking so much like your Mommy!!! Sent with much love!!!

[@natashakali3760]

This is sooooo gooood!!! My coach gave us an assignment today, "Take your brain to the place that all things are possible." All possibilities are possible, NOW! This is so amazing. I have to listen again and take notes❤

Hello Chrystal This was a good good. Message ❤

[@AngelicWomanofGod]

Needed this! I enjoy being alone but know so many people that love to share opportunities to gather together or celebrate and its hard to say no at times. However, I'm entering into a new season of writing, and starting new things and I have to focus. Praying for wisdom and breaking any FOMO vibes...lol.

[@kristineyarde2353]

Chrystal again you’ve blessed me in so many ways with your wisdom 🥹. For the last few days I’ve experienced every emotion you mentioned in this video. For the last few days I’ve asked myself what brings me Joy?! & look at what you discussed in this video. Your messages are ALWAYS on time for me. I’ve had to remind myself everyday that “comparison is the theif of joy”. Thank you so much for pouring our your wisdom into others ❤️. May god bless you. I pray I get to meet you in person some day ❤️

[@princesssullivan5098]

Thank you so much!!

[@Vern2375]

I think there is a gift in enjoying the trip to wherever your are going and make some stops along the way. Can your family let you have some of those stops on the way to Wherever? Can they learn to enjoy where they are? Those stops alone the way seem to make you happy. Maybe even bring you a little joy.
