In this first Reach Required Reflection, I’m talking about what God revealed to me after I thought I had left my old life behind.

I had stopped doing the obvious things. The habits were gone. But God showed me I was still carrying something from the past: my old mindset.

This reflection is about job loss, Add Reach, the 9 to 5 mindset, and a dream that showed me what going back to what felt familiar could actually cost.

I was trying to bring Egypt into Israel.

And God was like, no. We’re not doing that.

In this reflection:

why leaving old habits is not the same as leaving an old mindset

how job loss forced me to face what I was still holding on to

why Add Reach felt hard to accept even after God kept confirming it

the Virginia job dream and what it revealed about corporate stability.

what “reach required” means in this season

Key line: I wanted what God had for me, but I wanted it to come through a system I already trusted.

Reflection question: Where might you be asking God for something new while still holding on to an old version of safety?

Reach Required: Upward toward God.Inward through healing. Outward into becoming.
