Have you ever felt unready? Maybe you have a deadline at work that's creeping up too fast. Maybe you're in a relationship that's going in a different direction than you planned. Maybe you're asked to perform and feel unprepared.
I'm heading back to school today after a long break of respite from months of illness. Am I ready? No. I still have a lot of pain, am exhausted all the time, and am nervous about tackling the homework piling up for me.
This got me thinking about what it means to choose hope when you're not ready. None of us can change how we feel; we will all still have moments of anxiety and nerves in these situations. But choosing hope means that while everything might not be okay, we jump in anyway. We hope for the possibilities of goodness and have peace to get us through no matter what.
Whatever anxieties come your way this week, I encourage you to choose hope. Choose to trust in yourself. Breathe and know that whatever happens, peace will fill you through it all.
Ready or not,
Sara
