Oooh—this is a season to shed.💨🌿🌿

Flashback to Nov. 2023 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I got an urge to read a Bible Story.

The one where God shed Gideon’s army . . .

The drop was dramatic too.

They went from 32,000 -> to -> 10,000 to -> 300. 👀

And guess what?

The 300 fought and won.

Check Judges 7 for the story.

Here’s a word for you:

Brace yourself for some shedding.

Don’t be surprised if people start fading away or if stragglers exit stage left.

🚨 Stragglers = people that don’t rock with you.

🚨 But they linger (around) hoping for perks from the connection.

🚨 The bottom line is stragglers hitchhike their way to success by using people. 

Don’t be shocked when some resources seem to dry up. 📦 Think of it like rearranging a space—some stuff goes out to make room. 🛍️🛒

Not to mention, sometimes God has to remove to prove (See Judges 7:2-8 😮‍💨 Then focus on verse 2).

A few things to expect.

Expect your appetite to evolve.

• You’ll find new things to appreciate.

Expect some things to break.

• You may NOT need to replace what breaks pronto or even replace it at all.

Expect some things to stop working.

• You may need to look in a new direction for answers and solutions.

• Or you may need to look in the same direction as before.

MY POINT: Be humble enough to open your heart to new possibilities.

To wrap this up . . .

Above all, know the SEASON TO SHED is also a season to GROW + GLOW up!

The shed season is guiding you to something divine. 🥹🫰🏽💜

And the shed season can unlock the EXTRAORDINARY in your life.

Well, that’s all for now. Be strong in your surrender to God’s will. As we learned in Gideon’s story — what God does with the ‘little’ is undeniable proof of His power.
