Time to Emerge

I guess it can never be a time when you are truly ready to answer the call on your life. Even after countless days and nights of preparation and in some cases years or trying to make things perfect. I’m really bad with that. Something that would normally take 1 hour, would end up consuming my entire day. I’m not sure if any of you have ever felt the same way. But at some we have to just launch out.

Many times we go into a period of hibernation which can be caused by many different things

1 Oftentimes we just don’t like to put myself out there in front of people and face different opinions of what we should or shouldn’t be doing?

2 Or it could just be the nature of the person, to just hide in the shadows of everything and everybody.

“You know the one that is everybody’s cheerleader and never doing their own thing?”

3 And you could also be hiding because you’re in grind mode. Meaning you’ve are researching, reading, signing up for everything that you see, taking classes, doing everything in your power, to perfect, whatever it is you are working on. Notice, I said working on, not necessarily something that you were called to do.

I will honestly say I have been in the middle of all 3. I was operating in fear at the highest level, with no real plans of ever stepping out, plus I was working faithfully behind the scenes and also always there for everyone else.

And I was okay with that, but I knew I couldn’t stay in that place forever. I started to narrow things down and focus on the one thing that had been tugging at my core.

I could always circle back to everything else.

I knew that putting myself out there was the key to unlock me to move forward to my next stage. Preserving yourself and learning behind the scenes was good. But that stage had to have an end date.

Which brings me to my next point

Point 2- Launch into the deep

There is no better way to do it, but to do it. I will use myself for example. Again, I have taken every online course, masterclass, Zoom conference, In person conference. You name it, I’ve done it. When I think about it it’s funny. I mean I have notebooks full of stuff. But what was I doing with it all? I was just going from one thing to the next and never executing anything. Nothing was filling that void I still felt on the inside of me except for my writing and the feeling I got when I would connect with different women.

That seemed to be where my voice was being heard. So, writing a book was a no brainer for me and using my experiences while talking to women became a norm. I would often think why do women feel comfortable talking to me or why are they drawn to me. I am just ole quiet smiley face Kim. With nothing really going on.

But the whole time I was being hidden, and God was up to something else. He was prepping, grooming, preparing me for what he was about to launch me into.

I can’t even begin to tell you the extent of how my life has changed from just being here for these 2 short years. And when I speak about my life changing, I am talking about internally. I have a burning on the inside of me that isn’t shrinking back instead it burning brighter and brighter every day.

God is God and he does what he wants, when he wants. So, me relocating here was all a part of my birthing period. Me speaking out is a part of my birthing period.

Everything is intentional. So don’t think for one second that your life experiences aren’t designed without a bigger picture in mind.

And I want to close with this

Point 3- Time to Emerge

When I realized nothing was or is about me. My mind started to shift. I started to think about who was connected to me and the role I played in their lives.

Whether it be the generations that come after me or people I don’t even know. It’s bigger than you and I. We are all vessels being shaped through life’s experiences. The good and bad and the ugly. They all work together for our good.

We are an army that is being released into the earth. An army full of lights. And everything we touch along the way ignites.

Places within us that were once full of doubt, fear, shame. Places in our lives that had us bound can all be taken away when we allow that light to shine. And the fact that we are all sitting here today is a true testament that those lights are now ready to go forth into the world and share the many gifts and talents that have been stored up on the inside. I know I am certainly ready.

When I tell you that just by standing in front of you today this has brought me 60 miles on the other side of my comfort zone. Whewwwww. Talking in front of you or anyone for that matter is something I would have never in a million years seen for myself. But again, in that hidden place God was preparing me and He still is.

But when it’s your time to come forth, you have to do just that, just come on out.

You have to answer your call!

And looking back at the last couple of years we have had, there is no better time than right now.

So, in closing, I just want to encourage you to continue to be the light you were created to be. The light to your family, your community, the light on your job or wherever you place your feet.

You are the change!
