Word of the Year Wednesdays - New Adventures

Happy Wednesday Friends! I hope your week is going well so far and that you are enjoying the journey you’re on. I took a week break from blogging and it honestly was a little weird. I had things I wanted to write about, but I was worn out. So I took a short pause. While I wasn’t writing a lot has been happening and I have been making some exciting choices.

I’ve mentioned it before, but it bears repeating, I don’t like change. I like staying well within my comfort zone and passing on anything that would require me to leave its boundaries. That being said, an opportunity presented itself to me last week. It was one that would take me out of my comfort zone quite a bit.

I wasn’t surprised how easy it was for me to talk myself out of taking the opportunity. There was the initial excitement of trying something new and then the voices of self doubt started appearing. The million reasons why I should just let it pass. I was tempted to quite a bit. I walked away for a couple of days, but I couldn’t shake it.

It was over the course of those days that my word “new”, kept coming to mind. I knew that when I selected my word of the year that there would be things that would test me and help me to grow. I also knew that I wasn’t a big fan of the growing process. However, if I am praying for a new dream to follow, I think it is going to require doing things I wouldn’t have normally done before.

So, I said yes. I’m about to go on a new adventure and yes, I’m a little anxious about the whole thing. But I’m also really excited. I’m excited to see how saying yes to this new will impact me. I’m excited to see it forms new dreams for the future.

I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes in a couple of weeks. But even if it turns out to be a disaster, I’m still proud of myself for trying something new. I’d covet your prayers for peace and determination to keep walking through the doors God is opening over the coming weeks.

Maybe He’s calling you to walk through a new door too - let’s go on this adventure together.

To Everything There Is A Season…
