Take a chance and fall back into Him

Posted on April 7, 2015 Updated on July 9, 2020

Sometimes when God wants to make a change in your life, He makes you uncomfortable with where you are.

“You still work here?” a client of mine said to me in disbelief. Lowering my head in shame I replied, “Yes.”

I applied to what felt like every job in the book but I got no response. A recent college graduate, I felt helpless. I was fed up and knew it was time for a change. Months later, I was having a really tough day at work. I
passed one of my co-workers and grumbled under my breath “I’m so sick of this job.” Then she stopped me and asked me “Do you think God wants you to be unhappy with your job?” I shook my head no. “Then you need to take a chance and fall back into Him.” At that moment I felt God tug at my heart. It was undeniable.

I went home that day extremely excited with those words ringing in my mind “Take a chance and fall back into Him.” Not sure what my first course of action would be, I decided to pray. I expressed to God that I was at my wits end. I told Him that I shook every tree and I didn’t know what else to do.

Matthew 7:7

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

I was praying every day and it wasn’t that God wasn’t answering me. I just couldn’t believe the answer. I never considered starting my own media company. I didn’t have a lot of money, limited equipment and I was afraid. But I stepped out on faith anyway, quit my job and covered my first event in New Orleans, Louisiana…The 2011 Essence Music Festival.

Proverbs 16:9

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.
