The Health Scare That Forced Me to Pay Attention:
Listen to Your Body: Health issues will not disappear simply because we choose to ignore them. Paying attention to changes in your body is an act of self-care.
Prioritize Early Detection: Getting checked out by a medical professional brings true peace of mind and ensures that if treatment is ever needed, it can begin as early as possible.
Lean on Community: You don't have to carry health fears alone. Reach out to trusted friends who can pray with you, support you, and hold you accountable to make those necessary doctor's appointments.
Choose Peace Over Fear: Overcoming the spirit of fear allows us to move forward with factual clarity and confidence, knowing that God is in control of our story.
Shift in Perspective: Instead of asking God, "Why am I still waiting?", a more transformative question to ask is, "What are you doing in me while I wait?".
Character Development: Waiting seasons are designed to build essential character traits—such as patience, honor, submission, confidence, and respect—that prepare you both for your next season and for the Kingdom of God.
Personal Growth & Reconciliation: I talk about a personal story of how God used her waiting season to expose a character flaw in her relationship with her oldest brother. By learning to speak words of affirmation and honor to him instead of criticism, their relationship underwent a complete transformation, making him the sibling she is closest to today.
Preparation Over Passivity: Waiting is not meant to be a passive or aloof period; it is an opportunity for exponential personal and spiritual growth.
Resource: This book, 40th Centric (available on Amazon), which explores navigating life's waiting seasons with perspective and gratitude.
And the moment I made that peace with the idea of dying, that fear didn't have control over me anymore. If you don't take anything else away from today, just take that away—it doesn't go away because you ignore it. For your peace of mind, just check it out.
The fact that you can wake up every day and do the things that you could do yesterday doesn't mean you shouldn't do a health checkup. It's so important to do that once a year—go to your doctor. It's just better for you to have peace of mind and to catch things before they actually get blown out of proportion.
