On the 26th of December 2019 I wrote an action plan for my life going into the new year. This was at a time where I still didn't understand my purpose but I knew that change needed to happen. I made a list of everything I wanted to achieve in the new year as well as new habits and practices that I wanted to adopt. The vision was clear and the plan was direct. However things took a turn when 2020 came around. I didn't expect to be sick and helpless throughout that year but that is exactly where I found myself to be. As a result I didn't achieve anything I set out to achieve but I didn't care - my one priority was to stay healthy. As mentioned in the first episode, I was forced to rely on God because I was no longer capable of elevating my life on my own.
I came out of that year with my health restored filled with gratitude. I completely forgot about the action plan I wrote and I got on with my life no longer being the captain of my own ship. Two years later, in 2022, I decided to go through my old notes and I stumbled upon the list. I realised that even though I didn't achieve anything I wrote down in the year that I intended, God knew my heart desires. Now I have come to realise that I have everything on that list even though it was delayed. I just needed to put God at the center of my life before anything else. The lessons I have learnt along the way makes the delay and setbacks so valuable.
This episode is for anyone going through an unexpected season in their lives. Sometimes our goals might be delayed. But the most important thing you can do is to make growth intentional within your season of delay and discomfort. There is always a lesson to be learnt. This list simply reminded me to trust God's timing and to trust God's plan.
