Introduction
Dear Beloved,
Have you ever felt uncomfortable with the way that you're living your life? Like a puzzle piece trying to fit into a spot with all the wrong edges. Me too. I recently realized that there is so much I can improve on, and since then, I have grown restless to figure it out. I'm tired of trying to fit in a place where I don't belong. I'm tired of feeling like I'm doing just enough. I'm so very tired of feeling like my relationship with God is merely satisfactory. Aren't you tired too?
I know how ridiculous this sounds but, I want to grow in such a way that when I look back, I shock myself. There are, however, risks to growing beyond recognition. Let me put things into perspective for you. Picture a tree that has just started to grow in the middle of a dense forest. Other much taller trees are blocking the sunlight from coming in, and as a result, the other growing trees have to fight for sunlight, or else they won't last very long. Are you ok being close to the ground, becoming weaker to the point where you shrivel up and die? Or are you willing to bend and turn and fight to touch that sunlight and rise?
I felt the push from God, telling me that I had to get out of my comfort zone. That I would have to fight to grow into my full potential. And that I would most definitely have to choose to give up certain things and people along the way. But I also felt a push from God saying that I wasn't meant to do this in private. So here I am, sharing my journey every step of the way. (The good and bad steps) I’m going to put my thoughts, realizations, and whatever God puts on my heart here. I pray that my entries can impact others, even if it is just one person.
This blog will be a testimony and a weekly account of how through God, I'm Fighting for Me.
“ Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.”
