Persist Through Personal Growth Pains
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonI am wildly uncomfortable! Still, it is invigorating and exciting! I am so far out of my comfort zone! I started to pare down activities so that I could focus my efforts. It didn’t change the discomfort. I am in pursuit of my dreams and I am in unchartered territory. The first instinct is to run back to what is familiar. I am overriding this default and pressing on. I am staying true to to my purpose and have no question that a WIN is coming! And guess who likes to WIN? I do!
Speaking of WINS! My conversation with Engel Jones was just released and the timing couldn’t be better! This #12minconvo podcast was a gentle and smooth reminder of what I am trying to accomplish. I must keep moving forward. My work is aligned with my truth and I was made for this.
On my last post, I casually mentioned that future posts would be monthly aka I will no longer be posting weekly. Uh, there is no way that I am waiting until next month to tell you about this! Furthermore, great things are happening everyday! Amazing things are happening every week. Additionally, I have gotten into the routine of sharing weekly and quite frankly- I missed you, too. There I said it! Thank you for all of the feedback and encouragement. I appreciate you! Have an amazing week!
There are levels to everything. I can live a religious life that is sterile and devoid of divine power and muscle through life exhausted and overwhelmed or I can recognize the fullness of what Christ Jesus died to give me.
It has taken me years to express the sentiment found in this post. God has been working on my heart. There was a lot of shame and blame mixed in with my raw emotions that I needed to process.
The possibilities are endless. She is learning to hear from God. She knows that He has a plan and a purpose for her life. She has persevered through many things and her story of overcoming with help others.
Tory Palecek is my best friend from college. I met Tory the first day of volleyball preseason freshman year at Colgate University. We were both incoming freshmen. She immediately made an impression on me.
I am learning to thrive in increasingly complex situations.
