Victorious Journey with Coach Bre

The last few weeks have been extremely busy!  Between a hectic work schedule (things have slowed down for a couple of weeks, thank goodness), speaking and teaching assignments, and just “life,” my stress level has been high.  I’ve gotten out of my routine of working out regularly and eating healthy (slowing getting back into those things now).  Since we’re now in the season of Lent, I am intentionally trying to slow down a bit in my morning routine so I can reset.

During my prayer time yesterday, I began to reflect on my life over the last 18 months.  I may have shared before that back in September of 2023, I was laid off from my job of almost 25 years.  I started thinking about my journey from that last day when I mailed in my laptop, cell phone and badge, until now. From participating in career counseling, to getting jobs (and all the rejection letters that came before the job offers) and learning new industries, I can truly say that God has kept me!  Tears of gratitude began to flow! It has been, and continues to be, an adventure of ups and downs, but the one constant over this time period is God.  All of my needs have been met (and I do mean ALL), I’ve met new people who have expanded my network, and I am learning to exercise my faith in a greater way. 

I was talking to a friend the other day, and she acknowledged that the anniversary of her father’s transition has just passed.  At that moment, I realized that the anniversary of my grandmother’s transition had also just passed (she’s been with the Lord for 5 years).  Do you recall what was happening 5 years ago this month? It was the beginning of the COVID global pandemic.  My mind went back to that time when my family was trying to plan a funeral when no one understood what was happening, and how sad we were that we couldn’t give her the homegoing service she deserved because of the shutdowns.  But through all of that, God kept us!

If you were to look over your life, I believe you would come to the same conclusion!  God has kept you!  Even if life is hard for you right now, you can still reflect on what God has done for you in the past.  Let those memories remind you of His goodness and His power, and keep you focused on the fact that if He’s kept you before, He can do it again!

God is a keeper!
