Courage To Let Go

Recently I came to a really tough decision, that it was time to let some things go. There have been a few big pieces of my world that I felt like God was telling me to release over the past 3-6 months, and that has come with a lot of grief. However, when I started in business over 8 years ago I made the vow that I would always intentionally go after the things I felt God calling me towards. What that also means is that if I no longer feel God calling me to do something, it’s time to release it. I wouldn’t do something simply because I’d always done it and had the flexibility to be focused on God’s (current) will for my life at all times.

What I have learned over the years is that delayed obedience to God’s word is disobedience and I don’t want to ever be outside of His will for my life in any given season. I also know that if I hold onto something longer than I should then I am putting myself at risk for not being under His protection and provision, but also I’m holding up space for the next person to step into that role. Additionally, I may not be ready and available for the next thing He wants to do in my life.

This takes courage and a clear understand of what God is calling me to in any given moment. It requires some flexibility because that vision can and often does change. It also takes a direct line to hear God’s voice and to drown out the noise of what others believe is best for me, ultimately it’s up to Him what will be. It’s my goal as a Godfident business owner to ensure I’m aligning myself with His will for my life. Yes, the opinions of others have weight in my life particularly those who are trusted support, but it will never weigh more than God’s opinion of what’s next for me. If you know with certainty that you should be doing xyz…do it!
