How To Become Confident In Your Position.

Ever found yourself questioning how to confidently step into your rightful position in your current journey? Do you find yourself grappling with doubts about your ability to hear God and partner desires with His grand plan? It can feel like going back and forth, like a yo-yo, questioning God and, honestly, questioning myself.

One day, during a walk in my neighborhood I engaged in an open conversation with God. I asked many 'why' questions: "Why the wait?" "Will my children see their dreams fulfilled?" "Will my dreams come true?" "Will my empty nest years be filled with joy and adventure?" At that moment, I sensed a clear message, "Let the play set up!"

I envisioned my daughter on the basketball court, executing a play as her coach directed, patiently waiting for the players to get in position. Are you confident as a 'Playmaker'? Are your decisions guided by faith and confidence in God's plan? We must learn to navigate challenges and confidently make decisions.
