We have been discussing change and transition over the last couple of weeks. Now that our minds are made up we know what we want to do how to do it we know when we want it done. This is a critical time during transition because when we are ready for change we usually want it right away! Waiting can cause a strain on the decision you made to change. During the time of waiting you can go back and fourth with yourself wondering do I even want too change? Am I capable of change? Are the people around me going to reject me if I change? This is a natural reaction because it's hard to wait and it's hard to seek the unfamiliar. It is absolutely worth the wait, worth being uncomfortable. You are worth it! Taking the short cut too change will never have a lasting effect. For example let's say your taking a multiple choice test, you just want to get it over with. You hate taking test your anxiety level is high your done over this thing. You start too choose random answers finish quickly but then when you get the score back your like dang! I should of took my time I knew those answers. I say all this to say change is a process take it one day at a time! Everyday congratulate your self for another day of progress. This will keep you encouraged and wanting to stay in the fight. You will less likely want to waver from your decision for better. This also applies to those around you who your praying for too change. It is a process and a battle with ones self. Give them a chance too do the work. We can only live one day at a time so why do we think we can fast forward progress? Know that you are going to get there. Know that it's worth building a firm foundation! When future storm comes what you have built will not collapse. Know that your never alone! God says he will never leave you nor forsake you ! Allow yourself and others time,we don't want microwave answers! Fast fixes will fall apart quickly and your back at square one. Those quick microwave meals don't keep you full for long and don't taste as good as a home cooked meal do they ? Nope! Lasting change takes time let yourself know it's ok. Set yourself up for success. Build a plan that keeps your faith strong. Taking the pressure off allows you /others to enjoy the progress on the way. Taking your jouney one day at a time will surprise you . You will look up one day and be wowed and think when did I get here? It will feel amazing! Change is here! Change is possible! One day at a time !
The word Empty is a small word but it holds much power. Too be empty is too not be full ... Empty also can mean to be filled with. Opening my eyes doesn't seem to feel the same anymore, the dread of the unknown almost makes me want to stay asleep. I never thought that I could ever be this low. I never thought the the insecurity and the feeling of never fitting in would creep up on me in my adult life. You see things in life that are meant to bring you down will tap on you discreetly almost subliminally. They continue to hit you in the same spot over and over again, just like a construction worker who needs to break down a wall. The construction worker will target the weakest point to gain access, and begin there demolition focused on that point. So here I am empty, like a car that has run out of gas (which ironically enough recently happened too me lol ugh ). If you have ever ran out of gas you know that the vehicle is at its low point and is unable to function. It has pulled o...
