LEAP OF FAITH

This episode is me sharing how I took a leap of FAITH many times throughout my life and although at times it may have seemed scary and wondered initially what the heck I was doing, I knew, because of my FAITH, that everything would turn out okay.

The benefits of having faith:

Waking up grateful
Grateful for the air you breathe and everything and everyone in your life
Being grateful for the changing of the seasons and the joy nature brings
Forgiveness is healing
Strength to have difficult conversations
Acceptance of everyone without judgment
Knowing you are where you are meant to be
Being present
Loving yourself and those who may be difficult to love
Finding joy in everything
Being happy for others
Creating healthy boundaries
Being YOU
Feeling valued
Feeling Loved
Love what you do
Having a positive mindset
Having patience
Trusting the process
Having HOPE

Also, Faith is a choice. You can believe there is hope or go back to being comfortable, doing what you want when you want and hope for the best.

The stronger you become in your faith the more you will notice the enemy will try to pull you away. Challenges and struggles may pull you away but your faith is stronger and you will overcome it stronger than ever before.

Have you ever said, “WHY ME?” “WHY must I GO THROUGH THIS?”

Many times throughout my life I would say those same things, “Why me?” “Why do I have to go through this again and again?” At the time the struggle or challenge seemed too great.

Life may feel unfair, people hurt you and of course you don’t deserve it. This is an opportunity to grow in grace, focus on your faith and All the countless blessings you have been given. A time to turn away from the pain and embrace the joy in your life.

As you focus on faith, have hope, you begin to see the WHY or the transformation within.

At times the answers aren’t always easy to understand, or coming forward at the time that you want or expect. It’s because it’s a process. There is a time for everything.

A PROFOUND Read is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven;

A time to be born, and a time to die;

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;

A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to seek, and a time to lose;

A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, and a time to sew;

A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;

A time for war, and a time for peace…

Faith allows you to see and understand each season you go through.

I challenge you to have faith, or stretch your faith and trust God and the process by taking a road less traveled, open your heart to a new experience and enjoy the unfolding as your life evolves into YOU becoming the best version of yourself.
