All things work together for good.....

Good Morning!

I was listening to a video of a guy who questioned himself about starting a blog….what would people think, would they think he was full of himself, etc. When he finally started the blog he found out that people liked what he said, he found his “audience” simply by writing about what he was discovering as he lived AND no one was thinking bad things about him and his fears were unfounded.

In that video he used a clip of some other expert who said that sometimes just the writing wasn’t so much because he had a lot to say but because he determined to just keep writing, he sorted out a lot of his thoughts through his writing.

It made me think about how starting On Fire Fit back in 2015 was a process of me just living out my life on paper. It has evolved over time and it has given me the chance to process thoughts. I’ve said before but still believe this is true, that even if no one read what I said, it would benefit me. That might be the biggest benefit of all.

Rather than worrying about having it all right, being “ready” or having the perfect plan, simply showing up means that gradually the plan unfolds as you step. We can get so caught up in our heads! Either waiting to have the whole plan, feeling we have to be totally prepared or second guessing everything along the way.

As I tell my kids, even if you make the “wrong” move, can you trust God enough to redirect things to still work out for your good? Taking action with faith that God will be powerful, strong and trustworthy enough to lead and open and close all the right doors…..that is how I believe we can be bold enough to do things that our human minds fight against.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
