Clearing Space for What’s Next (Blog Post)

-
I don’t know about you, but there’s something about the start of a new season that feels heavy with possibility. It’s like God is holding the blueprint to the next chapter of your life, waiting for you to make space for Him to move. But here’s the truth: stepping into what’s next often requires clearing out what’s now.

I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. For years, I carried the weight of old habits and limiting beliefs, hoping God would show up and work miracles in a space that was already overcrowded. I prayed for clarity while clinging to distractions, asking God to bless me while still holding on to what He told me to release.

One day, I found myself crying out to God, frustrated by the lack of a breakthrough, and I felt Him gently whisper: Make room for Me. It wasn’t loud or dramatic, but it was enough to stop me in my tracks. That whisper made me realize I’d been asking God to fill a space that was already too full.

I started to do the hard work of clearing the room—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. I said no to opportunities that didn’t align with my purpose. I stopped entertaining conversations that drained my faith. I turned down the volume on fear and self-doubt and turned up the Word of God in my life.

Clearing space isn’t easy. It requires faith to let go of what’s familiar, even when it no longer serves you. 

It’s uncomfortable to silence the noise you’ve grown used to or to walk away from the relationships that no longer pour into you. But here’s the good news: every time you make room, God fills it with something greater.

This week, I want to invite you to join me in clearing the space for what God is doing next in your life. Starting tomorrow, we will walk through three days of reflection, surrender, and intentional growth. Together, we’ll learn to identify the noise, release the weight, and cultivate an atmosphere where faith can flourish.

You don’t have to wait for your breakthrough—you can prepare for it. And it starts with making room.

Let’s do this together. See you tomorrow!

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Two

Day 2: Surrender the Weight Scripture : Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — "Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Devotional : I once heard someone describe life as running a race with bags strapped to your back. Each bag represented something different—fear, shame, insecurity, and bitterness. Some were small and easy to carry, but others felt like stones. That image stuck with me because I know what it’s like to feel weighed down. If I’m honest, there have been seasons when I held onto things I knew God was asking me to release. A grudge I couldn’t let go of. The pressure to meet everyone’s expectations. The guilt of mistakes I couldn’t forgive myself for. I told myself I needed to carry these things, but deep down, I knew they were slowing me down. God doesn’t call us to run weighed down. He calls us to run free. The moment I decided to surrender those weights to Him, something shifted....

Prioritizing His Presence Devotion - Day 2: Choosing What Matters

  Scripture: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." — Matthew 6:33 Devotional: Have you ever had one of those days where you’re running on fumes? The kind where you’ve said “yes” to everything and everyone, leaving nothing left for yourself? I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit—serving, working, striving—thinking that if I just do enough, I’ll feel fulfilled. But let me tell you something I’ve learned: Fulfillment doesn’t come from doing. It comes from being. When I think about Matthew 6:33, I’m reminded of the simplicity of Jesus’ words: Seek first the kingdom of God. That’s it. He didn’t say, “Seek success first” or “Seek approval first.” He didn’t even say, “Seek doing more first.” Just, “Seek first the kingdom.” Mary understood this. While Martha was busy doing good things—things that seemed important—Mary chose the better thing. She chose to sit with Jesus, prioritize Him, and trust that everyt...

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Three

  Day 3: Cultivate the Right Atmosphere Scripture : Philippians 4:8 (NIV) — "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. " Devotional : A few years ago, I had to take a hard look at the environment I was creating for myself. I was doing all the "right" things—reading my Bible, praying, going to church—but my atmosphere didn’t reflect what I was believing God for. My playlist didn’t sound like worship, my conversations didn’t speak life, and the people I surrounded myself with weren’t fueling my purpose. It was no wonder I felt stuck. God began to challenge me: What are you allowing to fill your space? I realized that purpose doesn’t just require clearing the room; it requires filling it with the right things. Like Jesus when He brought only the faith-filled people into Jairus’ house, I had to be i...
