As I’ve been navigating this new space of uncomfortableness that God has me in, I’ve finally surrendered to the truth that there’s no skipping this part…
Because to keep it real there were many days that I didn’t understand, or had thoughts of “If only this were different, or I’ll be okay when this happens..” but the truth of the matter is there’s no skipping your process that leads to your purpose. And who said you can’t be okay now? Who said you have to wait until things come together to have joy again?
We as believers have to learn how to navigate growing pains without being finessed into the enemy's schemes and mind games. You can thrive in the wilderness and waiting season when you truly know and believe that the joy of the Lord is indeed your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). You can feel a release of pressure, stress, and worry when you slow down and choose to live in God’s reality and not your own daunting thoughts.
There’s no skipping this part. There’s no speeding up a process that you didn’t make in the first place.
All I can really say is let your guard down with God and let Him have His way. Constantly pray for eyes like His and a mind like His. You’re not alone, God is here and forever moving even when you feel stuck.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
