Run into the Storm

Soar on wings like eagles

It may be a hard conversation, starting a new relationship, trying a new skill or investing in yourself.

My most recent experience is investing in myself. There is a coaching training in Florida in November. I didn’t even allow myself to consider going at first. Even though I told myself no I kept wondering, what if?

As I did, thoughts like, ‘I wouldn’t fit in. I’m not like them. I’m not worth investing in.’ flooded my mind. What got my attention was the fear that came with those thoughts. I’ve come to recognize that kind of fear as the enemy trying to keep me from God’s best. As soon as I recognized the fear for what it was I knew I had to go. I registered and ran into the storm.

That storm isn’t over. I have two months until the event. This is my time to soar.

How do I do that?

What God says, the promises He makes are the updrafts, the winds that carry us over the storm. Ask Him what He is saying. Find scripture to meditate on.

When you get above the storm experience the hope and freedom that is there. Imagine yourself above what you’ve been dealing with. How does a perspective change? It’s still big, but you can see the whole thing and you can see it is going to pass. There’s an end to it. It is limited.

You can have God’s perspective. There is light, there’s the hope. As I imagine myself being that eagle rising above, I can feel a shift in my spirit. It is so freeing. I know I can do this.
