One thing I hate is a dirty place, especially a dirty public place 😭😂 And Nur is definitely NOT that!

Every time I’ve been, I’ve had a good experience. The space is clean, the aesthetic is cute, and it’s comfortable enough to get some work done or have a meeting without it being too quiet.

As a business owner, I also wanted to use the space to get some product content, so you’ll see a few sample photos and videos of Hibiscus on Elm @hibiscusonelm sprinkled throughout this vlog. 🌺

And can we talk about the customer service? The management team is doing a good job making sure people feel welcomed and taken care of, and I really appreciate that!

If you’re looking for a cute, cozy coffee shop with good drinks, a clean space, and great customer service, I’d say check out Nur! ☕️ @nurcoffeebar

Comparison is a thief of joy. 🧡

It’s so easy to look at someone who’s doing the same thing as you and start wondering if you’re behind, if you’re doing enough, or if you should be further along by now. But friend, you cannot measure your life by someone else’s highlight reel.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Sometimes, the very thing you’re comparing yourself to is something you wouldn’t even want if you knew the full story. We see the pictures, the accomplishments, the relationships, the businesses, and the beautiful moments, but we don’t always see what’s happening behind closed doors.

And social media? It only shows us a fraction of the story. Some of the things people are navigating privately would have you saying, “Lord, I’m good right where I am!” 😭😂

So, even when someone is doing exactly what you’re doing, resist the urge to compare your journey to theirs. Your timeline is your timeline. Your assignment is your assignment. And someone else’s progress does not diminish what God is doing in your life.

A little reminder on today: Stay in your lane, celebrate others genuinely, and give yourself permission to enjoy the life you’re building. You can admire someone else’s life without wishing you had it.

The grass may look greener, but remember to water your own. 🌱🧡 by @estherbgriffin

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

There’s something so special about time spent in the presence of Jesus. ✨ An hour of prayer with other believers can do something for your soul that words can’t fully explain. @2819church 

So proud of you!  @michaelaolevia 🥹🤍

Happy Birthday, Sopha!🧡🥹

I couldn’t let time pass without celebrating you! 🥹❤️ And after the response we got from our last video about godly friendships, I felt like this was the perfect follow-up.

One thing I’ve been thinking about is that sometimes, we spend so much time praying for godly friends that we forget to ask God to make US godly friends, too. 🥹

Be the friend you’re praying for. Be the friend who covers others in prayer, celebrates them without jealousy, speaks life when they’re struggling, tells the truth in love, and shows up even when it’s inconvenient.

Be the light you desire to see in others, and do it with your FULL CHEST! 🗣️✨

Because godly friendship isn’t just about finding someone who reflects Christ to you; it’s also about allowing Christ to be reflected through YOU.

And listen, I know friendships aren’t always easy. Sometimes people disappoint us. Sometimes seasons change. Sometimes friendships end, and we’re left trying to understand what happened. But I believe there’s so much we can learn about ourselves, our expectations, our healing, and the way we love others through those experiences.

So I’m genuinely curious, and I want us to have an honest conversation. 🧡

What has your experience with godly friendships been like? Have you ever had a friendship that fell apart, even though you both loved God? What happened? Was it a lack of communication, jealousy, unmet expectations, different seasons, or something else entirely?

Let’s talk about it in the comments. No judgment, just real conversations. 🥹❤️

And Sopha, I thank God for your life and for the gift of your friendship. May this new year bring you even deeper intimacy with God, beautiful relationships, and the fullness of everything He has for you. I love you! Happy birthday, friend! 🧡🎂✨ by @estherbgriffin

I pray everyone experiences a friendship that pushes them closer to You. A friendship that makes them want to become a better woman, a better wife, a better mother, and most importantly, a better reflection of Christ.

A friendship where there is no competition, no jealousy, no comparison. Just genuine love, accountability, encouragement, and a shared desire to honor You. A friendship where we don’t just celebrate each other’s blessings, but pray each other through the difficult seasons.

May our friendships never be about simply doing life together, but about helping each other live a life that glorifies You. I thank God for you everyday @estherbgriffin 🧡

Let’s be friends. 🤍
I’m Esther, and I’d love to know who’s on the other side of the screen.

Drop these three things in the comments:
✨ Your name
📍 Where you’re from
❤️ Something you love

I’ll start:
I’m Esther.
📍 Originally from DC, now living in the Dallas area.

❤️ Traveling, hearing people’s stories, and going down random research rabbit holes about interesting people.
