I was letting the doubts in. Crap! I didn’t even realize fully that it was happening. I mean, here I am going in to this new business where I have so much to learn. I know this is where I am led. I know God has big plans to bless people with this.
I was all so well-intentioned. I am doing research to learn more. Except, not all research, not all “experts” are who I should be listening to. I have resources with two great companies already, whom I know God has led me to. Why am I still listening to others?
God’s plans are better than mine, and better than the “experts”. I’ve been praying, and it is clear to me. I can learn skills, but I don’t have to learn to be a person that I am not. I can learn methods to success, but I need to keep praying and keep God in the driver’s seat.
God didn’t ask me to learn all the best things from all the best people. He asked me to learn, and move forward. “You were born for a time such as this” has been on my heart. I may never feel ready to lean in to this 100%, because it’s new and scary. The good news is that God never planned on me jumping in to a scary new thing alone! I don’t need to feel 100% ready because I’m not alone. He is right here with me. And I will keep myself where I can see that.
Tonight I am thankful that God has given me this amazing calling to help parents of teenagers. I am thankful that God chose me, somewhat socially awkward, unintentionally interrupting, daydreaming, very little concept of time, over-sharing, babbling, spontaneous schedule changing, cat hoarding me. He’s planned something wonderful for your life too! That’s why we won’t let fear win! This story will have a wonderful ending!
P. S. A big thank you to my amazing Entreleadership group! Their encouragement and insight was super helpful today!
