Preparation for What’s Next?
Being prepared can happen in a number of ways. Some people would argue that some things you are never prepared for like death, tragedy or situations beyond your control that feel like it is going to ruin your whole life. But from a person that has ‘control issues’ I like to be as prepared as possible. Preparation for me comes from the past, present and the unknown future. I rely on the past to prepare me for what’s happening now. I rely on the present to warn me that if I stay in this same situation, I could have a not so fun future. My unknown future helps me to align, plan and pray harder than I have ever prayed before. Finally, preparation happens along the way, in the moment, tried in the fire of the situation to actually see what you’re made of. It’s no fun but when you come out, you will have an experience that you will never, ever forget. Whether it turned out wonderful and everything worked out or every thing blew up in your face and nothing turned out right. I can truthfully say that no matter what I post on social media, I have had more of those ‘nothing turned out right’ experiences than I want to say. Did it make me quit? I wanted to but I kept going because God was settling me up to have something to say or a story to tell that would help someone else in a group or one on one to make sure that they didn’t quit either. I know you’re thinking, why prepare for what’s next because you’re never fully prepared or it’ll be horrible right? Nope. What if you actually win? Sell out, have more clients than you ever imagined, get the promotion, they actually agree to the contract or you get the grant of your life!! Would preparation be worth it? You better believe it.
