123: Permission to Pause

There are times in life when you simply have to do what your soul is longing for, even if it means letting go of something you really love. Even if it feels risky.

This week I share how a health scare, a tv show, and more than a few nudges from God gave me the courage to do what I’d been wanting to do for a very long time.

And why, even when it seems contrary to everything the world tells you to do, you have to do what is right for you. Sometimes you simply need to give yourself permission to pause.

Main Points From the Show

There are times in life when we need to let go of something we love to make room for something we love even more. I find myself at one of those times now. 

It was in this same timeframe that I had been called back for an abnormal mammogram. That test showed some suspicious tissue that they felt compelled to biopsy. I’ve had lots of ultrasounds and follow up mammograms in the past, but never a biopsy.  Somehow, I knew this time was different.

Absolute Faith is a confidence or trust in a person or thing or a belief that is not based on proof that is perfect, complete, not mixed or adulterated, pure, outright, and not limited in any way. I felt that God is telling me to have Absolute Faith in him during this season of letting go. 

Quotes from the Show

You don’t have to have a life threatening illness to give myself permission to do what you’ve always dreamed of doing.

Knowing that you can do something and doing it are two different things.

Verses Referenced
