Hey sister,
Can we be real? It's safe to say that 2023 has thrown more curveballs our way than we ever anticipated. The past year has been a challenging journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. But before you even think about throwing in the towel, let's talk about how we can be women who find the audacity to get back up again.
The Year That Tested Our Resolve
If I'm being honest 2023 has felt like a rollercoaster for the most part. Sometimes in an instance, it can feel like the rug has been pulled from beneath your feet and everything as you know it has shifted. It's completely okay to acknowledge that it's been tough—because it has.
The Audacity to Get Back Up Again
Amidst all the chaos, it takes audacity to get back up and face another day with hope. But what is this level of audacity, and where does it come from?
Resilience in Action: Resilience is that inner strength we discover when life throws us off balance. It's our ability to adapt, to bend but not break, and to come out of adversity even stronger.
Seeking a Helping Hand: In times of struggle, it's crucial to remember that you don't have to face it all alone. Friends, family, or professionals can be the support you need to regain your footing.
Embracing a Different Perspective: Sometimes, it's all about shifting our perspective. Instead of seeing adversity as a wall, consider it a stepping stone for personal growth and development.
Self-Compassion: Remember to be kind to yourself. Resilience isn't about being unbreakable; it's about learning to heal and recover, knowing that it's okay to have moments of vulnerability.
Where does my help come from?
I look to the hills, from which cometh my help... In the midst of adversity, knowing that your help comes from the Lord is your source of comfort and strength. This doesn't necessarily mean that every problem will magically disappear. Instead, it means you boast in your weakness when you understand that in your weakness He is made strong.
Prayer and Reflection: Take time for prayer and self-reflection. This can help you find clarity and inner peace, even in the midst of chaos.
Faith in the Journey: Trust the process. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. It's about believing in a better future, even when the present seems bleak.
Community and Fellowship: Seek out a supportive community that shares your faith. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can provide strength and encouragement.
So sis, in this last quarter, as we navigate through the trials and tribulations of 2023, let's remember that we possess the audacity to get back up again. Resilience is our ally, helping us grow through adversity. And when we feel lost, remember that help comes from our Creator, guiding us through the darkest of times.
While we may not control the challenges life throws our way, we do control how we respond to them. Embrace your inner audacity, hold on to your resilience, and trust that with faith and support, you can overcome even the toughest of trials. Keep your head up, stay strong, and keep moving forward. The best is yet to come!
