Change challenges us in ways we never expected. After sharing my journey of navigating unexpected change, I’ve been reflecting on what happens after the curveball is thrown. While hitting the ball out of the park is the ultimate goal, let’s not overlook the value of the process—the swings and misses, the practice, and the lessons learned along the way. Remember, it’s not just about the end result but the journey itself that shapes us.

✨ Here’s what I’m learning:
1️⃣ Patience is Powerful: Growth takes time. While we may not see the good immediately, every step forward is progress. (Isaiah 40:31)
2️⃣ Perspective Shapes Outcomes: Shifting from “Why is this happening?” to “What can I learn?” is transformative. (James 1:2-4)
3️⃣ Preparation is Key: Every challenge is equipping us for something greater. Just as a player prepares for a game, we’re preparing for the victories ahead. (Jeremiah 29:11)

In this season, I’m reminding myself that every tear, every prayer, and every moment of faith is building something greater within me. I’m embracing the process and trusting that God is aligning everything for His purpose.

Change is inevitable and a natural part of life; however, when the change you are going through is not self-imposed, it brings with it levels of uncertainty that may seem difficult to overcome. It often feels like you have been thrown a curveball.
•
•
•
I’ve said to myself and others regarding this most recent life change that although you have been thrown a curveball, you can still hit the ball out of the park. I am giving others this pep talk, but do I truly believe what I say?
•
•
•
At times, I wholeheartedly believe that the changes I am currently going through will work for my good as I am activating my faith and standing on the word of God (Romans 8:28). However, … transparent moment here… there are times that I struggle to see the good that will come from the change. Does anyone else have these moments?
•
•
•
So what do I do? I pray. I ask God for strength, understanding, and, most of all, guidance. I’m still and quiet so that I can clearly hear from him. Is it easy? No, but I trust and believe that it will all be worth it. Am I hurting? Of course, but I trust and believe that it will all be worth it. Have I cried? YES, but I trust and believe it will all be worth it.

I have a lot of ‘ME’ work to do to navigate the change. And I’m working on the skills to hit the ball out of the park.

Where have I been?

Working,

The past 18 months have been crazy. My life has changed, and that change has me working more hours. These changes have also affected my writing time, so I needed a jump start to get back into the flow. I attended a 4-day writing workshop “Destined For Fiction” presented by which sparked my creativity.
