Embracing this process requires courage and trust. Courage to walk through doors even when we don’t feel fully qualified, and trust that God has equipped us for every assignment He places before us. Instead of resisting, lean in. Build new habits, seek wise counsel, and pray for discernment. Romans 8:28 reminds us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even in the stretch, He is working for your good.

When you sit with yourself, are you totally showing up—or just doing the bare minimum to keep your conscience clear? This is where transparency meets accountability. It’s not about perfection, but about choosing to engage fully in the season you’re in. Avoiding the stretch may bring temporary relief, but it will never lead to transformation.

It’s easy to let fear creep in and sabotage your progress. Doubt whispers, “Am I really ready for this?” or “What if I fail?” But those thoughts are distractions meant to keep you from stepping fully into what you’ve been prepared for.

Boundaries, then, become the holy framework that protects our peace. Boundaries are not walls of rejection, but lines of clarity. They let others know where you end and where God begins. Boundaries protect your time, your energy, your purpose, and your healing journey.

It’s also important to enjoy the journey. Life isn’t a race, and there’s no gold medal for burnout. Comparison will always try to convince you that you’re behind — but joy, gratitude, and intention help you stay grounded. Embrace your timeline, celebrate your growth, and trust that your path is unfolding just as it should.
