I don’t know what kind of season you are in right now, but no matter what your circumstance is, I want to encourage you to surrender. Surrender everything you have and let God do the rest.

As I read chapter after chapter in this book, “You Are the Girl for the Job”, the author Jess Connolly kept writing words that made me feel like she had taken all of my exact prayers straight to the Lord and written out the encouragement & practical guidance I was needing.

Here’s what I’ve felt this year that I just can’t shake- I don’t want to become a woman who at the end of December has to say, “Lord, I couldn’t do what you asked this year because I was too busy with what *I* decided was most important for my life.”

We often hesitate to move forward because we feel unprepared or incapable, but how many times does God tell us in the Bible to “not have fear” and to walk with a confidence and boldness that is motivated by our faith.

Ever been there? Trying to decide the next move in your life, land on a decision, choose a direction and everyone's opinions make you feel like you can't hear your own thoughts, let alone GOD'S thoughts on the situation?

Moving forward out of a spiritual rut, moving toward and leaning into God doesn’t have to be intimating or daunting. It’s actually the rest and fresh air you’re craving.

When I came to know the Lord and asked Him to be the Savior and Lord of my life that year, I was done searching. I was done trying to be good enough, or dress up like something I wasn't.. I was ready for "real".
