"I can't wait to get back to normal!", a plea heard from many. But just a few months back, you were complaining of where you were. And now, you want to get back to normal? What is normal? You want normal back. Who are you? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Normal is the usual, average, or typical state or condition. Normal is just what you know. There is nothing extravagant about it. But it's tantalizing and sensational because you know it, love it; you're comforted by it. What if you were never supposed to feel normal? What if normal is really change? Your change. Normal is not what you should know. It's who you are becoming! Change is a constant. So if change is always happening, why are we so uncomfortable with not being normal? But what happens when there is uncertainty or you're scared? There's this unknown factor that is very unsettling to what you know; the so-called "normal". When you are afraid, you reach for what is comfortable; what is NORMAL! Normal is habits! But you don't have to live normal. Yet all you do is crave it, because you know it. "When you feel fear, you reach for familiar." by Pastor Steven Furtick (Elevation Church) Has "never enough" become our normal? The busyness of our lives is what it is because that's what we know. We want so much now, immediately. That immediate gratification. It's this self-centered familiarity; it's comfort. Normal is a story you keep telling yourself. And that story you keep telling yourself continues to aid what you know. Therefore, you see only what you know. Yet, what you are to become, you're blind to. There is no peace or comfort without being engulfed in what you know; the "normal". Even though that normal is what you were complaining about just a few months ago. What if you getting back to normal has nothing to do with comfort? What if it's knowing that you are created for more? That your normal is change. That you are to look forward to get back to normal. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look forward! Are you trying to hold onto what you should let go of? Maybe you're holding onto it because....
- It brought you comfort even though it could have been harming you in some form or fashion.
- It took the uncertainty out of a situation and made you feel a little better even though you didn't like it.
Life does not have to be about what you know, but about who you are becoming; who you are created to be. QUESTION:  What were your priorities prior to COVID-19?  And currently, where are your priorities in your life? Are you willing to let God part the red sea to make room for what you're supposed to see? You need to slow down to speed up. God is not wanting you to do more with what you know, but to use what you know to change the world! Because we have been blinded by all the stuff we think we should be doing or what the world says we should do. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." ~ Romans 12:2 Don't try and fit yourself in a box like the world has you in! You are not meant to be squeezed, at least not that way. What seems like comfort is actually uncomfortable. You are meant to rise higher than where you sit. But you must be willing to renew your mind and understand that normal is not normal. It's what you knew. What is normal in the real world is actually broken in how God sees you, how God desires you to become. You are uniquely and wonderfully made. There is no one like you. So why are you trying to live like everybody else? Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!! Look forward by being a living legacy! Why should you die in order to make a difference? Your difference is here today! Be present. You may not understand why things are the way they are, but that doesn't give you an excuse to beat yourself up and stay where you are comfortable. You're created to be extraordinary. Be incredible. You were created in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made. So slam the doors on comparison. Be YOU!!! What has kept you chained and buried? Where have you become entitled, what you expect? Are your expectations holding you back?
- depression
- addiction
- anger
- comparison
You can set a new baseline as to how you live your life. Romans 12:1 ..... Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your true and proper worship. Look forward by being a living legacy! (Romans 12:1) So over these next few weeks, as you ponder your new normal, what does it really mean in your head and your heart?
