The Tennis Shoes That Were Already There
ThursdayMONEYTestimony 👟I was wearing a worn pair of walking shoes. They had served me well, but I had begun thinking about replacing them. Before I bought another pair, I prayed about it. Then I looked again at the shoe rack. There was a bright, multicolored pair already waiting there. It was such a small thing. But I had to admit. I had been preparing to spend before I had taken a proper look at what was already available to me. This is not a rule against buying what you need. Sometimes you do need to replace the shoes. The point is simpler: do not let urgency make every next step a purchase. Sometimes the next right decision is to pause. To pray. To look again. There may be something in your home, your calendar, your knowledge, or your relationships that you have not counted because you were already focused on what was missing. A quiet next step ⏱️Before you buy one thing this week, take five minutes to look carefully at what you already have. Then decide from a clear place. ✨Prayer God, help me slow down enough to notice what You have already placed in my care. Keep me from spending out of panic or habit. Give me wisdom for what I need, and gratitude for what is already here. ✨Reflection question What have you been ready to replace, buy, or chase without first taking a proper look at what is already available to you?

This is SO good and exactly what I needed to hear today. ❤️ I feel like everywhere I turn, I’m being shown another program, strategy, course, or “next great thing” that promises to help me grow my business faster. There are actually a couple right now that I’ve been very tempted to jump into. But this was such a needed reminder for me to pause, pray, and look again at what God has already placed in my hands. I’ve invested a lot into my business over the years, and I’m realizing that another investment isn’t necessarily the answer just because it looks promising. Maybe the faithful next step is actually to steward what I already have. I’ve gotten wiser about this over the years- pausing instead of immediately jumping, praying before purchasing, and giving myself space to discern- but oh goodness, that pull toward the “next best thing” is still there. Especially when I want so badly to see my business grow. I think part of my lesson in this season is learning to embrace the grace of the pace God has me in. I’m so quick to grab the steering wheel back and start trying to make things happen on my timeline instead of trusting Him with the growth. So yes… I’m going to sit with those two opportunities instead of jumping. Pray about them. Look carefully at what I already have. And trust that if God wants me to move, I don’t have to be afraid that I’ll somehow miss what He has for me. Thank you for this reminder. I really needed it tonight. ❤️
