I have been missing in action and I apologize to my faithful subscribers. My life is about to turn upside down or right side up depending on the perspective that I take. I will be venturing into a total new dimension of my life and while it is all exciting it is terrifying at the same time.
I am leaving my current job of 17 years to pursue my passion of being an entrepreneur. My friend took a quantum leap of faith earlier this year to pursue her dreams and she is doing well. I envied her, but I know the decision and the action to actually do it had her going in circles. I know I have the skills, talents, a great business plan, and a great service that I am offering, but still there is this little voice deep inside saying; “You can’t do it!” I am trying to push the little voice away but it has become a part of my subconscious mind and it is slowly developing into stress. As we all know exposure to long-term stress is not good or healthy for you and I am a living testament to that. Been there, done that!
On top of that I am finishing up my first book and now I need to prepare for its distribution in the spring. That whole process is a job in itself! Again, I am excited, but stressing about all the details that I will need to complete in order for its success to prevail. And just to add a little spice to the mix, I am studying for my Christian Life Coach certification as a part of the service that I will offer through the ministry – The Butterfly Journey! Yes, I started a ministry that is in direct connection with my book.
It seems as if I should be gearing up and my body and mind feel like taking a vacation. My spirit is ready to move forward into my destiny! I am just not sure how all this will play out. But I do know that God is able! So I am going to lean on Him for everything. I know it all is going to work out, I just need to stay faithful and focused.
The other day I came home exhausted as usual (as I found out recently that I have severe insomnia) which I already knew and I just began to cry to the Lord. I literally cried with every word that I spoke out to Him in prayer. Graciously, He gave me instant peace and I rested that night. Each day is going to have to be dealt with individually. One day at a time.
Have you ever faced challenges that seemed to much to handle? Please share your stories of how you got through it. I know that it will encourage me and someone else who is facing a huge endeavor.
Continue on your journey, it is well worth it!
