I came across a journal entry I made last December and it has me in all the feels 🦋
“After a year of pain and physical and mental struggles, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m putting my hope in the fresh start of a new year. I don’t know yet if you’re bringing me out of the valley, but I trust you and am praying so even still…
I want to bring my hopes and dreams and goals before you for next year. I need your discernment, your encouragement, your coaching. I’m pondering between:
1. Give everything I have to Spray, or
2. Train for the competitive Spartan heat and see what happens
If I pursue these, I would really need your favor and blessing. For the logistics, for the relationships, for my body and mind….
And I’m trying to make space for the fact that maybe neither of these are in the cards for 2025. Guide me in the way of peace.”
✨Never in my wildest dreams did I think BOTH of these dreams would realize. God is so good, and generous, and so personal with his love. He didn’t dismiss my desires as “unspiritual” or selfish. He made me a huntress (btw my name literally means Hunt in the Woods).
✨I felt so much of his blessing and favor on all the training this year. I’m so grateful and honestly shocked at how it all came together. (I didn’t send Spray but sure am satisfied with the climbing fitness and progress that happened).
✨I’m feeling a shift for this year. From hustle to unhurried. Not sure what all that looks like, but I know when I align my desires with His, it’s going to be glorious. (Also, if you’re still reading this long post, thank you 🙏🏼)
