Change is Required

By -



In a world where we don't like change. A society who cringes over the word "Change." Majority of Americans prefer things to stay the way things are. I myself have the tendency to be against change. I am able to eat the same meal every night, and work at the same job for year all out of the mind of comfortability. Let us challenge and rethink this notion.

I need to embrace change more. I need to get so uncomfortable that I don't even know what the usual looks like. As you all have found out by many of my past posts I am a dream chaser. Nothing about chasing a dream is comfortable. We must overcome the fear in our journey. I take on comfortable because it is easy/safe. Nothing about life is suppose to easy. When we get uncomfortable allows God's glory to get us through.

Stepping forward in this new season where I am striving to get uncomfortable it can be as easy a my new haircut enough change to mix it up. If I keep going this will become easier and easier. Walking in faith requires room for the unknown.

Being unpredicatable in your eating options, drinking options. These may seem like small steps, but they are the beginning of something bigger. They will require you to make life impacting decisions. We can't all make big moves to another state in our lives and to be honest it's not always required. If you have the desire then go forward as I am in my journey. We can get uncomfortable together.

I hope that together we can achieve amazing things. If you are ready to make a change with me and chase the dreams that God has placed inside your heart today is the day. The time is now! So here's what we can do whoever is reading this and wants to step out of your comfort zone shout me out. There are several ways to do this.

There are several ways to let me know you are stepping out with me on the journey. I am excited to hear from each and everyone of you! Here is my first step in this Uncomfortable journey of my. I got my haircut much shorter than it was prior. Thanks to my amazing friend Tonya Elizabeth. Much love to this amazing woman.


Chasing a dream is beautiful, daring, exciting, and uncomfortable.

Timing is Everything in Life

Falling back: Harold Lloyd in Safety Last   Photo: Rex I often put pressure on myself to get somewhere, using my own strength to reach these places that "I need to get to." I put a lot of effort into working hard and pressing on. It sometimes becomes a bit much. You can burn out quickly if you are constantly working and rarely enjoying the meaningful parts of life. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day. We were talking about how we work so hard and sometimes it feels as though you are running in circles trying to get somewhere.  We were chatting about how when the most life defining moments happen, they are often accomplished with using no force. It's as though the opportunity had been waiting for us forever and we just needed to wait for that perfect timing. I am learning in life that it's all about timing (and I know what you're thinking reading this yes you are exactly right it's all about timing.) Honestly, we often say it, but

For Everything there is a season

As I think about my life, and reflect on all that God has given me the ability to do. So much has changed over the last couple of years, and what would make me think that things would stop changing because it is inevitable that things will continue to change. I look at my life and I am so thankful, God has given me so much and I truly believe that He has blessed me with so many amazing new opportunities! I have been blessed by my church, and the amazing family it has provided me. I have been given the ability to speak into peoples lives that I never would have thought would be possible. I am so humbled because that was never a goal for me, and yet it has blessed me beyond all words. Lately God has started to shake things up a bit for me as well, and I am still learning that I have so far to go. I am learning so much about where I am that it is crazy. But I am loving that God is providing so many people to speak into my life and stretch me so that I do not remain complacient. I ne

Encouragement is like Water to the Soul, it makes Everything Grow

In life I think back on my journey, and I think about the things that truly matter along the road thus far. I remember people along the way that have encouraged me and supported me. I think most of us in life would agree that encouragement is so important. Most us crave the cheerleaders in life that root for us along the way. Many of us have our parents that have been a source of encouragement, our siblings can often offer support. Hopefully each of you have had a teacher or boss that have encouraged you as well. Looking back on my life I have had some great support in chasing my dreams. I remember I was in the 8th grade at Mascoutah Middle School when I auditioned to host our talent show. I was truly nervous and I had some people that told me I’d never get it. I remember walking into the audition and being so nervous, filled with doubt and fear that it would be impossible to get. I remember auditioning for two grade school teachers, Mrs. Furgeson and Mrs. Bower, I remember wal
