The 2024 BE Project – In a world where you can BE anything, what will you choose?
This year, my word came with no action plan. And so I felt very clear that God needs to bench me for a year and He needs me to be comfortable sitting, just as much as I am standing and speaking. So I’m in a holy time out, and I’ve already learned a lot and it’s not even over yet.
Meet Cheyanne and Her Personal Reflections
I have learned that even if I do not see God’s promise in my lifetime, that does not mean it will not come to fruition. And so even if my wilderness does not end before I get to see it, I still trust that it’s going to happen. I just need to get really comfortable in the discomfort.
I want to accomplish being okay, not being busy. There are a lot of things that I’ve needed to delegate and pass off, and that challenges my own identity because I’m a doer. So if I’m not perfecting the pass off, which is what I like to call it, and equipping someone else to do something after me, then it’s very prideful for me in my journey. I just need to be comfortable seeing other people do the things that I do, even better. I am a control freak, and so that’s always a tension that God has me in.
There’s a difference between knowing what you believe and living what you believe, and those two things are very different. Now I live what I believe, and it fuels every area.
If you could go back and talk to yourself two years ago, what would you say?
Don’t sweat it. It’s all going to be okay. Based on what you will end up believing and how you will end up functioning in your life, there’s not a thing that you can mess up that God won’t make up for.
