We are not promised tomorrow. But I don’t truly think we understand this.
We hear the statement above, but do we truly believe that? I would say we do not. Because, If we did, we would seriously live like each day was our last instead of writing blogs about it, or posting pretty quotes on social media. And yes, this blog is as much a challenge and to me as it is to everyone else.
The Lord has engrained in me that, for me, this is a year, and a season of action.
I think a lot. I tell you often that I believe you can learn from any situation and any person, and I do believe I live life from this place. But here’s the thing, and it applies to many places in our lives: Until we are able to put what we have learned into practice, and it becomes something we live out each day, the thing we have learned is merely a concept that we have become aware of in our minds.
I want to be clear and tell you that I realize it often takes time and dedication to learn things, and to better ourselves. Furthermore; that we will never reach perfection , even to the day of dying. And, even further, as long as we are living, we have things to learn and areas to grow in.
However, often, when we find ourselves stuck, it has to do with the fact that we have not acted upon the concept that is growing in our minds, our souls, our spirit.
What is growing in you?
What are you waiting on to come to fruition?
What is keeping you from stepping out and acting on your new revelations?
For me, I am learning about deeper relationships. Allowing all of me to be seen and known. What is keeping me from acting on deeper relationships? Fear.
But the thing about change is: You have to be at a place in life where you want something different more than you want to be where you are currently at.
This is not an excuse not to grow and change. But an encouragement to really take inventory of the things that are keeping you trapped. Its your choice.
So, I want to end by encouraging you, and remind you, and myself to be compassionate to yourself where you are. Try not to beat yourself up for not being “where you think you should be.”
Be encouraged,
Rachael
