In today's episode, the message I want to give you all is to JUST SHOW UP! Coming off of the Shine Bright Retreat and all the healing we did, the subject of this podcast came to me.
A few weeks ago, a lady at church talked about a time she was asked to teach a class. She didn't know how she would be able to do it, or where to start. Her leader's advice to her? "Just show up." Leading up to the Shine Bright Retreat, I felt the darkness creeping in and was feeling heavy with self-doubt. I was ashamed that I was having these thoughts and making myself feel wrong for feeling those feelings.
I thought to myself, "I am just going to show up and bring my words and my knowledge to help others." After my family helped me pack up everything, I started the two-and-a-half-hour trip. About an hour and a half into the journey, I hit heavy traffic and a road closure. As I neared the front, I learned that there was a tragic accident and I knew that it would be a long, long delay.
I called my dad and my husband to get directions for a detour. However, just before I made that call, I did have the thought that I should just give up. That I should turn around and hide away, that this was a sign. That moment was brief, and I recognized it for the lie that it was. The extra time on the road allowed me the peace and thinking time to understand that this wasn't my retreat to teach at – it was the will of God. Just show up and He will lead you where you need to go.
Also, I have launched my Digitial Course "A Course in Forgiveness". You can find the link to this course in my Instagram bio. I am so excited to share it with you that I am offering it for $13.79 for the rest of November. So, grab it for yourself, for your family and friends. I hope you'll take advantage of this offer!
