If I’m being honest, I don’t always feel qualified for this work. I’m still walking through many of the struggles I discuss in the Rooted Together Health & Wellness Program for moms and daughters.
I still wrestle with confidence, body image, and making the healthiest choices for myself. I want to do better, but sometimes life gets the best of me, and I take the easier way out… which often turns into the harder way.
I know I’m not where I used to be, and for that I’m grateful. But it still feels scary to step into a calling I believe God has placed on my heart, when I’m still struggling in so many of the same areas. I wrestle with sin. I get caught up in the world. I let it pull me in, even when I know deep down I’m called to more.
My heart is to help the next generation not just avoid some of the pain and confusion I’ve walked through but also break chains and strongholds that have lingered for too long. I know the enemy is trying everything he can to stop what God is building, but I’m reminded that I have to stay connected to God. I have to fight the good fight of faith, hold onto hope, dust myself off, and keep going.
Even when I don’t feel qualified… even when my feelings or actions try to pull me off course, I know where I need to be. I know the answer is turning back to God again and again, laying it all at His feet. He already knows what I’m walking through; I’m not hiding anything from Him.
So if you’re struggling with a calling that feels too big, hard, or heavy, don’t give up. God never said it would be easy. The enemy doesn’t want us to advance the Kingdom of God. He wants us stuck, overwhelmed, and distracted. But we were made for more.
