Transformation 🦋

Seasons of transformation some times happen out of site. Retreating inwards instead of reaching outwards is what is needed for growth.

Retreating inwards instead of outwards not because you have stopped loving or caring for others or to shut people out forever but because in order to be able to heal and grow you just need to create some space, space to breathe and catch your breathe and also to fully allow God to shape you into who you are called to be.

Sometimes we think that being more involved with others and helping others out more is what we should be doing but sometimes we actually need to retreat to be able to face our own reality and see more clearly.

Sometimes what actually being helpful means is taking a step back, choosing to not involve yourself, and not carrying responsibilities that were never actually supposed to be yours to carry.

Sometimes you need to come home, think about yourself and not anyone else but the little people God has entrusted into your care and to things that matter to you.

An extraordinary process of change can actually happen when you withdraw before you extend.

Have you ever experienced a season where stepping back helped you grow?
