This last weekend I celebrated Easter. 🪻🐣🥖
WOW, it was a beautiful weekend, with time spent celebrating the Lord, and the resurrection.
I celebrated with my family and a full church on Sunday morning, and then was blessed to spend the afternoon with some close friends of ours, eating and playing games.
I even managed to get a walk with my dog in the 🌞.
Later in the evening, I was lucky enough to run across an old friend's FB post that inspired me.
We ran together in high school, and he was a fun loving guy, always happy.
Now he is a singer/songwriter and I was able to listen to his music for the first time, and it was so GOOD!
It was amazing to listen to his music, and hear the true joy he sings with.
Yesterday there was joy and love all around me, and I needed it! 🙏
For the last few months, I have felt an urge to start something new. Something that draws people into love, and spreads the word of the gospels.
I realized in listening to the message this morning that I have been held back by my own fear.
A fear that is unfounded, as shown to me this weekend for the 1000th time.
We all have a purpose in life. Some of us are lucky enough to find it at a young age, or have it be defined sometime in our lives and it is clear.
Others tend to slowly move toward it, without knowing what it truly is or where the path is going to lead, but there is a blind faith behind it that keeps us moving and taking one step after another.
I feel like early in my life the first part of my purpose was revealed. I was meant to be a physical therapist. I knew in high school that is what I was going to do, and I never looked back, never waivered. I went after it and did end up fulfilling that part of my purpose.
But in the last 5 years, my purpose is shifting and I find myself more on the unknown side of things. Taking steps that I am not sure where they are leading.
I think I know at times, and then I stall or I am filled with doubt. 🫤
However; with each passing day, there are pieces that are starting to fit together. So I am taking a leap, walking in faith and courage and stepping out of what I know into a realm of the unknown.
I feel shaky and uncomfortable, but behind that my courage and trust are growing that this is where I am supposed to be.
“Fear gives way to hope, sadness gives way to joy, and anxiety gives way to peace.“
If you find yourself in a place that you are unsure of your path, or your identity.
You feel overwhelmed, distraction is the rule more than the exception, and you have a hard time focusing, this is meant for you.
This is a group that allows people a safe place to speak, to ask questions, to find support and to feel loved when you feel lost. ❤️
It is a place for people who are unsure of their faith, or maybe you are already walking in faith but still want to grow.
It is a place to share your experiences and plant a seed or listen to others so that you may get a spark to take your own steps. 👣
Most of all it is a place that you can come to grow in peace, and spread that to others around you.
I am so excited for this next chapter, and whether you just check it out or decide to join, I am happy you are here.
With Love,
Shawna
