Just Do It!

Good morning. 🤍

As we enter a new week, we are given new opportunities—opportunities for change, opportunities for growth, opportunities for healing, and opportunities for repair.

Yesterday’s sermon reminded me of something I believe God has been placing heavily on my heart: keep going.

Keep reaching out.

Keep sharing.

Keep writing.

Keep showing up.

Keep searching for the mothers and women who may feel lost, broken, overwhelmed, or unsure of where they belong, and help lead them back to Christ.

I may not be able to reach everyone. In fact, I know I won't. But I'm beginning to understand that God never asked me to reach everyone. He simply asked me to be obedient.

If I continue walking the path God has paved for me, I can reach and connect with someone one person at a time, one story at a time, and one day at a time.

I Know What It Feels Like to Be Lost

There was a time when I was a broken and lost soul.

When I look back at that version of myself, I honestly cannot say where I would be today if I hadn't found Jesus.

And when I say "found Jesus," I don't mean that suddenly everything became perfect.

My life didn't magically become easier. I didn't suddenly have all the answers. I still experienced difficult seasons. I still made mistakes. I still questioned things. I still had moments when my faith wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be.

But something inside of me changed.

I had somewhere to turn.

I had Someone to call on.

And slowly, God began changing my heart.

My Walk Isn't Perfect

In no way, shape, or form am I perfect—and neither is my walk with Christ.

I'm still learning. I'm still growing. I'm still being corrected. There are days when I get it right and days when I have to ask God for forgiveness and try again.

But that's the beautiful thing about our relationship with God.

He isn't asking us to come to Him already perfected. He's asking us to come to Him willing.

Willing to learn.

Willing to grow.

Willing to surrender.

Willing to obey.

The Bible reminds me that I am God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for the good works He prepared for me to do (Ephesians 2:10).

That means there is purpose in my life—even in the parts of my story I once wished I could change.

My Focus for This Week

This week, I'm choosing to be intentional.

I will continue growing closer to God's heart.

I will continue helping draw others closer to God's heart.

I will continue following the God-given purpose He has placed over my life.

And most importantly, I will continue choosing obedience, even when I don't know exactly where it will lead me.

Stepping into obedience has changed me in such a short amount of time.

For so long, I think I was waiting until I felt completely ready. Waiting until everything made sense. Waiting until I knew exactly how everything would work out.

But eventually, I just had to do it.

I had to take the first step and trust God with the rest.

One Person at a Time

Maybe you're entering this week feeling a little lost yourself.

Maybe you know God is calling you toward something, but you've been afraid to begin. Maybe you don't feel qualified. Maybe you're wondering whether your voice, your testimony, or your small act of obedience can really make a difference.

Start anyway.

You don't have to change the entire world today.

Reach one person. Encourage one woman. Pray for one mother. Share one testimony. Take one step of obedience.

Because that one step may be exactly what God uses to lead you into the purpose He has been preparing you for.

That's what I'm learning in this season.

I don't need to know the entire plan.

I just need to continue saying, "Yes, God. I'll go where You lead me."

So, as we begin this new week, my prayer is simple:

Lord, continue drawing me closer to Your heart. Help me recognize Your voice and have the courage to follow when You call. Use my story, my words, and my life to reach the women who need to know You. When I become discouraged, remind me why You called me. Give me the strength to keep going, one day and one person at a time. Let everything I do point back to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Here's to a new week of growth, obedience, purpose, and becoming the woman God has called us to be. 🤍

Keep going. Someone may need the very testimony God gave you.
