Walking Boldly in Your Assignment

WEBVTT
00:00:01.797 --> 00:00:08.197
Well, hello, my valued listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Living in Your Power.
00:00:08.857 --> 00:00:14.157
I'm your host, Dr. Marlene Greenleaf, and I am truly grateful that you are here
00:00:14.157 --> 00:00:20.317
with me today as we close out our April theme, Aligned and Assigned,
00:00:20.637 --> 00:00:23.337
Walking in Purpose with Clarity.
00:00:23.337 --> 00:00:31.197
We are stepping into what it means to not just understand your assignment, but to walk in it.
00:00:31.717 --> 00:00:36.757
And today's episode, the fourth and final in our April series,
00:00:37.017 --> 00:00:40.717
is titled Walking Boldly in Your Assignment.
00:00:41.777 --> 00:00:49.977
So let's get into it. Now there's a difference between knowing your assignment and walking in it.
00:00:50.917 --> 00:00:58.537
You can feel it. You can sense it. You can even be clear about it. But still hesitate.
00:00:59.317 --> 00:01:06.277
Still question. Still shrink. And still wait for the perfect moment.
00:01:06.797 --> 00:01:11.197
And the truth is, dear listeners, that moment rarely comes.
00:01:11.877 --> 00:01:15.937
Because boldness is not something you wait for.
00:01:16.657 --> 00:01:19.117
It's something you choose for.
00:01:22.256 --> 00:01:31.516
Joshua 1.9 in the New King James Version says, Have I not commanded thee?
00:01:31.956 --> 00:01:36.116
Be strong and of good courage. Be not afraid.
00:01:36.756 --> 00:01:42.016
Neither be thou dismayed. For the Lord thy God is with thee,
00:01:42.576 --> 00:01:44.516
whithersoever thou goest.
00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:54.216
It says to be strong. Be courageous. not because everything is clear and not
00:01:54.216 --> 00:02:00.156
because everything is easy but because you are not walking alone.
00:02:00.676 --> 00:02:08.316
This wasn't a suggestion. It was a command because God knows that stepping into
00:02:08.316 --> 00:02:12.336
assignment would require courage, not comfort.
00:02:15.596 --> 00:02:27.596
So now boldness is not loud. it is not forceful and it is not about proving anything,
00:02:29.396 --> 00:02:35.176
boldness is steady it's quiet confidence,
00:02:36.216 --> 00:02:39.436
it's showing up even when you feel uncertain
00:02:39.436 --> 00:02:42.796
and it's taking the step even
00:02:42.796 --> 00:02:50.816
when you don't have full clarity It's trusting that what you've been given is
00:02:50.816 --> 00:03:00.536
enough for this moment And sometimes boldness looks like Saying yes when you're nervous,
00:03:01.856 --> 00:03:05.616
Speaking up when you'd rather stay silent,
00:03:07.056 --> 00:03:13.316
And moving forward when you'd rather wait And sometimes, dear listeners,
00:03:14.036 --> 00:03:18.516
boldness looks like continuing when no one is clapping.
00:03:23.382 --> 00:03:29.122
So let's look back on this scripture where it says to be strong and of good courage.
00:03:30.622 --> 00:03:34.722
It doesn't say to do it later. It wants you to do it now.
00:03:38.242 --> 00:03:41.342
So here's your empowerment prompt for this week.
00:03:42.022 --> 00:03:46.362
I want you to take a moment and reflect on these.
00:03:48.162 --> 00:03:52.462
Where am I hesitating even though I know what I'm called to do?
00:03:53.382 --> 00:03:57.482
What would boldness look like in my next step?
00:03:57.762 --> 00:04:01.642
And what fear do I need to release in order to move forward?
00:04:03.462 --> 00:04:07.122
I'm going to repeat these reflective prompts for you again.
00:04:08.382 --> 00:04:12.162
I want you to reflect on these questions.
00:04:12.502 --> 00:04:19.462
Where am I hesitating even though I know what I'm called to do?
00:04:20.942 --> 00:04:23.842
What would boldness look like in
00:04:23.842 --> 00:04:31.202
my next step and what fear do I need to release in order to move forward.
00:04:33.987 --> 00:04:41.267
You don't need perfect clarity to walk boldly, fearlessness. You just need trust.
00:04:43.107 --> 00:04:50.967
So in closing off this series and today's episode, I want you to know that your
00:04:50.967 --> 00:04:52.547
assignment is not random.
00:04:53.707 --> 00:05:01.187
It is intentional. It is purposeful. And it is already within your reach.
00:05:01.927 --> 00:05:05.967
Listen, you don't have to wait until you feel ready.
00:05:06.227 --> 00:05:10.247
And you don't have to wait until everything makes sense.
00:05:10.927 --> 00:05:16.527
I want you to just take the step and trust that as you walk,
00:05:16.667 --> 00:05:18.987
you will be strengthened.
00:05:20.907 --> 00:05:27.047
So I want to thank you for joining me for this final episode in our April series,
00:05:27.047 --> 00:05:32.787
aligned and assigned, walking in purpose with clarity.
00:05:33.487 --> 00:05:37.527
I want you to continue to live boldly in your power today.
00:05:38.487 --> 00:05:42.467
And if it gets tough, just breathe.
00:05:43.487 --> 00:05:47.407
You still got the strength to rise.
00:05:49.607 --> 00:05:54.667
So continue to walk boldly in your assignment,
00:05:55.927 --> 00:06:01.787
I want you to continue to be strong To be courageous And again,
00:06:01.987 --> 00:06:07.447
not because it's clear Not because everything is clear Because it never is And
00:06:07.447 --> 00:06:13.687
not because everything is easy But because you are not walking alone,
00:06:16.467 --> 00:06:21.487
Continue to live in your power.
