Stop Playing: You're Next Level Is Waiting On You

I’ve got to ask you something real today.

What if what you’ve been waiting on… is actually waiting on you?

Not on God to do something new. Not on people to finally support you. Not on another confirmation or open door. But on you—to believe bigger and for you to take a bold step forward.

A Walk Turned into Purpose in Motion

The other day, I went for a walk—nothing special at first. Just me, my thoughts, and the summer sun. I hadn’t planned to do much more than that, but then… I felt a desire rise in me. To jog. To move differently. To push myself.

I usually wouldn’t have done it because of people being around me, but something in me was ready for more. So I picked a spot not too far ahead and decided, “I’ll jog to that point.”

I made it. Then I kept going and going. Thats when the light bulb went off. This wasn’t just a physical push. It was alignment. It was as if my body and spirit both said, This is what we’ve been waiting for.

Light Routines = Light Results

I’ve been focusing on my health more this year—adjusting my eating, moving more when it came to walking and just easing myself into adding more into it. But let’s be honest: light routines only produce light results.

If you have big dreams, you’re going to need to take bigger action steps to move forward. That jog became a metaphor for purpose. How often do we know there’s more inside of us, but we don’t access it because we’re still operating at “walking a pace” that is too comfortable, too cautious, too confined?

Stretching Is Part of Growth

If a student stays in 9th grade all year doing only 1+1=2, can we really say they’re growing? You can’t get new results doing the same old things. You may be in a new season, but are you applying new effort? Are you stretching beyond your current comfort zone to build the strength you need? Sometimes we want God to do something through us, but He’s first trying to do something within us. Stretching reveals what’s already in you—it builds the muscle, the resistance, and the resilience you’ll need to sustain what you’ve been praying for.

Let’s Be Real

I gave a lot of analogies, I know. Jogging. Classrooms. Stretching. But I hope you’re catching the main point here. You are more than capable. But you may not be seeing the strength yet because you haven’t given yourself a real chance to grow.
