It’s Time to Rise Again
What if rising again requires more than simply believing? It may require strategy, intentional connections, and the courage to invest in the woman God is calling you to become. This week’s Strategies, Connections & Words explores what it means to move from believing into BEcoming—and to rise again with purpose, wisdom, and intention.
BEgin Again
What if you’re not starting over? What if you’re simply beginning again? Sometimes the things we do repeatedly can feel unnoticed or insignificant, but consistency is never wasted. This week on Strategies, Connections & Words, we’re talking about the power of beginning again, showing up, praying again, believing again, and building again.
In the BEcoming: The New Normal
There is no strategy that will allow us to avoid every uncomfortable moment of growth. Sometimes the strategy is not to figure everything out. Sometimes the strategy is to pause long enough to recognize that the discomfort may not mean something is wrong.
Getting Back to It
So when you're packing those lunches every day and wondering if any of it really matters, remember that it does.
When you're ironing clothes or setting them out the night before, it matters.
When you're getting everyone out of the house on time, driving to practice, checking homework, sitting through meetings, or doing all of the ordinary things that don't always feel very significant...
It matters.
Beginning Again
Maybe this is the month you begin celebrating your progress instead of dwelling on what didn't go as planned.
Maybe this is the season you finally start that fitness routine you've been putting off.
Maybe you begin protecting your peace, setting healthier boundaries, or making time to sit with God before the demands of the day begin.
Or maybe...you simply begin believing again.
Becoming Requires Movement
I've learned that we rarely walk away from a season empty-handed when we've sought God through it. Sometimes the reward is healing. Sometimes it's wisdom. Sometimes it's greater compassion. Sometimes it's the opportunity to encourage someone else because we've already walked the road they're traveling.
