Faith and Unfinished Things...
Oftentimes, when I’ve endeavored into something new—whether a home project or something personal and profoundly significant—resistance shows up. It shows up in the people around us, in the obstacles that appear through unexpected illness, sudden financial demands, and, toughest of all, in the voices in our own heads. Sometimes it’s the unconscious ways sabotage creeps in and takes hold. The project gets placed in a corner, tucked away in a box. Trying something new gets pushed aside.
It’s how we show up to the obstacles that matters. Mostly, it’s about our awareness and our inner resolve to let something new take hold in a world that distracts and demands more.
When things happen—as they often do—take a moment to be still. Be still, and let faith take over.
And with cultivated awareness and faith, we begin to see that the obstacles often masquerade as distractions. The dust gathering on a project set aside can be traded for the dust of a field and the company of horses. The idea we once tucked away—the one waiting to germinate—may still be alive beneath the surface.
Come see if it still wants to grow.
