Friday Reset 💛 | Week 2

Hey ladies,

I still wanted to share this even though I’m a little late posting it, because I think it’s important.

Last week, I had a moment where I felt really frustrated and overwhelmed after taking a meeting outside of the time of my normal meeting schedule and it detailed my schedule for the next few days after.

And if I’m honest, in the moment, it made me question whether carrying the people I feel assigned to was heavier than it should be.

But as I sat with it, I realized something important:

The issue wasn’t the people.

It was the systems.

It was the boundaries.

It was the things God had already told me to put in place that I either delayed or hadn’t fully finished yet.

And I think sometimes we confuse feeling overwhelmed with being out of alignment.

When in reality, we may just be trying to carry an assignment without the structure needed to support it.

So I want to encourage you not to rush through Week 2's lesson.

Because understanding your assignment is deeper than simply asking:

“Who am I called to serve?”

It’s also asking:

What do I need to put in place to steward those people well?

What boundaries need to exist?

What support, systems, rhythms, or structure do I need so that what I’m building doesn’t constantly feel heavy?

One thing I felt God showing me last week is that sometimes what feels overwhelming in a new season is actually the weight of unfinished obedience from previous seasons.

The things He already told us to do.

The systems.

The boundaries.

The structure.

The hard decisions.

And now we’re trying to carry today while dragging yesterday behind us.

So as you reflect on your assignment this week, don’t just think about who drains or energizes you.

Be honest about whether there are things you still need to build around your assignment to support it well.

Because the goal is not just to build.

It’s to steward well what God has placed in your hands.

What’s one thing you know you need to put in place to better support the season you’re in now?

Let’s keep building 💛
