February 2020.
Moving Mountains Speaker Series at FCC.

I found this photo in my camera roll and laughed when I saw the slide behind me:

“Sometimes you have to pivot.”

At the time, I had no idea how literal that statement was about to become.

What felt like just a bullet point turned into a defining reality.

Plans changed.
Certainty disappeared.
Control was stripped away.

And yet… the lesson still holds today.

We still have to pivot.
We still have to adjust.
We still have to grow…even when the ground shifts under our feet.

The people who moved forward weren’t the ones with the perfect plan.

They were the ones willing to adapt without losing who they were and more importantly whose they were.

That’s why Cherish the Challenge rings truer than ever.

Because challenge isn’t an interruption to the path.

It IS the path.

I’ve learned that pivoting doesn’t mean God changed His mind…

it often means He’s still shaping ours.

Sometimes the closed door is the guidance.
Sometimes the disruption is the refinement.
And sometimes the challenge is the exact tool He uses to grow us into who we’re meant to become.

Different season.
Same calling.
Still learning to trust.
Still choosing to Cherish the Challenge.
