This week we are digging into the Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study that we are currently doing over on Facebook in the Power Project Community. We cover chapters
4. I'm Not Enough to Succeed
5. I Can't Pursue My Dream & Still Be a Good Mom/Daughter/Employee
6. I'm Terrified of Failure
This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life.
I cover how I felt like a failure after dropping out of college and how I didn't feel qualified enough to pursue my dreams for the next fifteen years. I share how it took a good friend speaking into me for me to accept God's call and follow my purpose.
When I'm feeling unequipped and unsure of what the next step looks like, I refer to Esther 4:14 "Who knows that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. This is how I have the assurance to step out of my comfort zone and know that I can make an impact.
The next scripture that I lean into is Ephesians 3:20 "Now, to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." This helps me remember that while we are not enough on our own, the power that is installed within us is enough. We are enough through Jesus.
CALL TO ACTION:
List your strengths. What are you good at? What makes you good at that subject?
Are you a good friend? Is it your ability to listen, over advice, be compassionate? Are you a good baker? Does that mean you can follow directions and procedures or improvise when need be. Write out these characteristics of your strengths that are uniquely yours. Underneath that, write "I am Enough through Him."
Tape this to your bathroom mirror, vanity, desk, car dashboard and read it aloud every day.
In the next section, I talk about being a Stay at Home Mom with a desire to serve a bigger purpose. I talk about what it looked like to have the conversation with my husband and kids and bring them into the dream. When I started pursuing my dream it made my husband and kids look at me through a different lens of respect and admiration as well as made our time together more special.
Then I share the story of Deborah & Jael. Have you heard of them? They were strong women in the Bible that led armies and defeated evil commanders, and they were both married. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that they were less worthy wives for following God's call on their lives. Go check that story out in Judges 4.
And finally, we talk about the Fear of Failure and how we have to move past that to achieve success. After all, success lies in a silliness to fail. That is singlehandedly the most key ingredient to achieving success. If you stay paralyzed in fear, you'll never know what you were capable of. I also share how not pursuing your purpose because of fear can look like disobedience to the Lord.
