File #003: Permission to Breathe
Rest is strategy too.
After pushing all month I received a week off.
August was a full month. Back to school brought demand. May it overflow in every area of our lives.
TLDR; After grinding all August, God handed me rest. That pause showed me stillness is strategy. Rest restores clarity, authority, and energy to build.
Outside of Worthy of the Build I substitute teach.
I was stretched to capacity emotionally, physically, etc all the lys in August. Thank God I maxed my hours at school and had the opportunity to rest the last week of the month.
This time allowed me to reassess not only how I show up here but what's working and what's not when it comes building.
3 questions I asked myself while resting...
God, are you sure? Did I hear you? Short Answer... Yes
How can I better articulate the message? Keep articulating say the same thing 100 different ways.
Am I leading or lagging? Lagging...
BE STILL: This is your permission to be still, to breathe in the goodness and grace of God that you woke up, that you made it another day. This is a moment of celebration of how far you've come. There will ALWAYS be more work but as for today take time to bask in the stillness.
Can't leave you with out a CLEARR Message..
Clarity: What’s actually working?
Legacy: Remember who you’re called to.
Execution: Restored energy leads to sharper execution.
Authority: Still called, still chosen, even in stillness.
Radical Responsibility: Know when to step back and reset.
It's OK to breathe, to rest, to question,
