Listening to God's Call
I believe it's a bit of both. It's about movement. The constant is always forward. I may not fully understand the physics behind it, but this idea has been helpful to me now.
Movement is crucial. The fact that it walks beside us can either intimidate or support us. It encourages us to keep going. Whatever our aspirations are, stopping won’t take us there.
In the past, I was impulsive. This often led to pain and regret. However, when God asks us to be brave, even if it seems crazy, would you dare to take that step? I chose to listen to Jesus instead of letting fear hold me back.
Taking Bold Steps Into the Unknown
As foolish as it may sound, I’m currently looking for an apartment. I have no income in sight, just 3 pounds in the bank, and I’m living with my younger sister. All of this is because God said to go, to move, and to keep walking.
People might say I’m crazy for making such decisions. To tell you the truth, even my parents don’t think so, and that’s enough for me. The approval I seek comes from understanding my journey in faith, not from the opinions of those who don’t share my vision.
Am I scared? Absolutely. Fear is a natural feeling. It’s a part of being human. Yet, I continue to push through. The one who created me, the one who loves me the most, never abandons me. This unwavering belief shines a light on my path.
The Power of Faith and Support
Having faith is powerful. It drives us to take steps we might otherwise shy away from. Faith acts as a compass, guiding us through uncertainty. It reminds us that we are not alone.
Support from others can also be a vital part of this journey. Surrounding ourselves with people who understand and respect our choices makes it easier to keep moving forward. My mother has been an incredible support. She encourages me to stay focused on our goals, reminding me that we are a team in this journey.
Faith also teaches resilience. When setbacks occur, we can either let them define us or learn from them. I choose to learn and adapt. This mindset allows me to face challenges with a new perspective.
Living Boldly: The Reward of Taking Risks
By living boldly, we open ourselves up to new experiences. It may feel scary at first, but taking risks often leads to the most rewarding outcomes. Each small step can lead us closer to our dreams.
I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone. Embrace the movement and take that leap of faith. The payoff might surprise you. Life is full of possibilities waiting to be explored. Often, we only need the courage to take the first step.
In my journey, pushing past my fears is essential. I remind myself that every courageous step moves me closer to the life I envision. The quote, "Feel the fear and do it anyway," resonates with me. It solidifies my belief that fear should never dictate our choices.
Keep Moving Forward
The key is to keep moving forward. Embrace the idea of growth through movement, faith, and support. Life’s journey does not require a clear path, but it does require courage.
Remember, whatever challenges lie ahead, every effort counts. Don't allow fear to stifle your ambition. Instead, lean into the journey you are on. Follow the divine guidance you receive, and know that you are never alone.
Let’s continue encouraging each other to keep walking. Together, with faith, we can conquer our fears and embrace the life waiting for us.
Kisses 💋
