When God asked me to leave my six-figure career......

When God asked me to leave my six-figure career to step into ministry, I wrestled. I knew what I heard, but the reality of it hit hard.

There were days I felt like a complete failure. Days I sat in silence, wondering if I had made the biggest mistake of my life. I went from providing for my family with ease to questioning how we’d cover certain bills. I felt the weight of it all—the fear, the uncertainty, the loneliness. People thought I was crazy, and honestly, some days, I did too.

I’ve watched my husband carry the burden of providing while I pursued something that still doesn’t fully make sense. The guilt was heavy. The frustration was real. The deep ache of feeling like I wasn’t pulling my weight sat in my chest daily. I would lie awake at night, wondering how we’d make things work, asking God why He called me to this.

And yet… somehow, He has sustained us.

I still don’t have it all figured out. I still wrestle. I still try to find ways to provide, to make sense of it all. But what I do know is that God hasn’t failed us. Every time I thought we wouldn’t make it, He showed up. Maybe not in the way I expected, but always in the way we needed.

If God is asking you to step into something that feels impossible, I won’t lie to you—it’s HARD. It will stretch you beyond what you thought you could handle. But I also know this: obedience may come with struggle, but it never comes without purpose. Keep going. He’s in this. Even when it doesn’t make sense.

But God.

He never left. In the moments I felt most defeated, He reminded me why He called me out. It wasn’t about money or security—it was about purpose. It was about obedience. And the fruit He’s brought? I could’ve never imagined. The women who’ve been transformed, the hearts that have healed, the deep sense of fulfillment that money could never give me.

So if God is asking you to open your hands and let something go, I won’t sugarcoat it—it’s hard. It will stretch you in ways you never expected. But the other side of surrender? It’s where His promises live. Trust Him. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.
