Borders, Boundaries And New Horizons!
Hello All! I do hope and pray that everyone is having a Blessed day today! I just recorded a new Spreaker podcast yesterday where I talked about borders, boundaries and new horizons! I just want to say here that I chose to call my podcasts and this blog Real Talk for a reason! I am sharing different aspects of my life journey as I feel led by the Lord and inviting those who might feel drawn or called to come alongside me as I stumble forward, and at some point, it is my hope that those listening to the podcasts and reading this blog will also feel inspired to share and dialogue in a safe environment about their life journey too.
This particular podcast is the first one I felt prompted to record even while I was experiencing some of the pain of the construction and re-construction process within me. This was interesting because what I was talking about during the podcast I was also literally experiencing in the moment! Especially the idea that as we are moving forward into our new season some construction and reconstruction continues. There is still a necessary tearing down of any internal walls that might hinder us in our new season. These boundaries and walls may have brought us

much comfort and security in the last season, so as God begins to remove them we may feel to varying degrees emotional pain, disorientation, and vulnerability that can result in the need to be comforted!
I was definitely experiencing some of these feelings to some degree while recording the podcast and while it was humbling, it was also authentic and real, and that is the heart of what I hope Real Talk to be all about! Here is a short segment from the podcast where I touch on the tension we might experience as we keep moving forward with the Lord into new territories that will require new borders and boundaries to be established:
“…while old mind-sets and patterns are being torn down, it can help us maybe be less resistant to the process if we can more consciously be aware that the Lord is tearing down these old patterns or walls to make way for the new. It is in this in-between stage within us, this place of uncomfortable tension, where the Lord has already torn down alot of the old season, but we haven’t quite yet crossed fully over into our new season, that we may feel very vulnerable”!
I also shared in the podcast what I was personally experiencing in that moment, which was a need for comfort as I felt some old internal walls coming down. I encouraged those listening and who might be going through a similar experience, to seek out the Lord in those painful moments and not look to other sources for that much needed comfort. I also explore in the podcast some of the reasons why it is so very important for us that God establish new boundaries for us in our new territories!
