On Being Stuck

Are you staying somewhere too long? Is your season over? I had a literal come to Jesus meeting with myself about Jesus’ ministry. Mentally I keep going back to the fact that Jesus’ ministry was for three years. THREE. Always one of my favorite numbers for a variety of reasons. I have been writing for a fitness page for four and a half years. When I got close to the fourth year, I asked God if I should keep writing. I didn’t get a release to stop. This year at year four and shortly there after I asked again. Still no all clear. It wasn’t until I started flowing in this blogging life that I felt my release. I decided to change the name of my Facebook page to Daily Fitspiration with Angie so that I can still reach my fitness readers as well as connect with anyone who is joining me on this spiritual journey. Which leads me to my part II. Sometimes we stay too long in something because we lose sight of why we started and then fail to recognize when that season is over. I started my fitness page because I was still working on losing weight and wanted to encourage others who were interested in getting fit with me. Although my fitness page is over four years old, my fitness journey has been in motion for 5 ½ years. I began to reflect on the people who have come and gone, the people who have made progress, and the people who have yet to start. I started thinking about all that Jesus did to pour into people, but yet at the end of three years He knew His earthly mission was finished. I’m not saying my mission to help people get fit has fully ended; but what I have realized is that I have done a lot of pouring into that area. Now my pouring will be different. Still inspirational and prayerfully motivational, but definitely more leaning on the divine move of God. I learned a long time ago that there are deeper reasons that people don’t move forward or make progress, and that is what my own spiritual journey is leading me to explore.
