The process of becoming often feels like a wrestling match but it's necessary for transformation to occur.

Lately Reader, stepping into this new venture in real estate has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. There’s so much to learn, so many emotions to navigate, and an ongoing need for resilience. This past week, I had to be especially intentional—not just with my work, but with my health, my emotions, and my connection with God.
​
I found myself leaning in, speaking with God about everything stirring inside me. I even took time to listen to my inner child, asking what she was trying to tell me. Because every time I step into something new, make a decision without guarantees, or face uncertainty, there’s a part of me that just wants to know I’ll be okay. That I’m safe. That I can trust the process.
​
What I’m learning is this: I can’t control the outcome, but I can control how I show up. If I want to be calm, at peace, content, and grateful, then I have to be intentional about how I think, how I process stress, and how I bring my worries back to God. That’s the real work of transformation—choosing to surrender, to trust, and to let God renew my mind (Romans 12:2).
​
In this week’s episode of Curious for Christ, I talk about Jacob’s journey—how he wrestled with God, was transformed, and received a new identity (Genesis 32:22-32). His blessing didn’t come without struggle. He wrestled through the night, and though he walked away with a limp, he also walked away with a new name and a renewed purpose.
​
So often, transformation feels like wrestling. It’s painful. It’s uncertain. It’s filled with moments where we question if we’re on the right path. But what if the struggle is exactly what prepares us for the blessing?
​
I encourage you this week to embrace the process, to create stillness so you can hear God’s voice, and to give yourself grace for not having all the answers yet. He knows the timing. He knows the outcome. Our job is to trust Him in the middle of it all.
