Elizabeth's Journey: Embracing Patience and Faith in Worship
If God's called you to something and you're not seeing it the way that you thought you were going to see it, take that dream and crumple it up like a piece of paper and throw it into the ground and watch the lord do something miraculous with it, because he will.
Ever wondered what it feels like to have a dream but be told to wait? In this heartfelt episode of 'Your Life, Your Story', host Lindsey Waggoner sits down with Elizabeth, a talented singer who learned early on she was destined to be a worship leader. However, Elizabeth's path wasn't as straightforward as she imagined.
Instead of stepping into her role immediately, she found herself on a journey of waiting and growing, learning to trust in God's timing rather than her own. Elizabeth opens up about the challenges of being a passionate leader. She often felt the need to tone herself down to make others comfortable, creating a space where everyone could experience God without feeling overshadowed. This balancing act of being authentic yet considerate is something many leaders can relate to.
Another significant part of Elizabeth's story is her struggle with the opinions of others. Praise or criticism, she learned to disconnect from these external voices and focus on what God thought of her. This shift wasn't easy but was crucial for her emotional healing and self-acceptance. Elizabeth's journey also touches on the profound idea of 'dying to oneself'. She describes moments of deep pain where she felt God was using her tears to nurture the promises He had for her.
It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, our dreams need to be surrendered before they can truly flourish. For anyone feeling stuck or impatient with their life's timeline, Elizabeth's story is a beacon of hope. She encourages listeners to trust in God's process and believe that even when things don't go as planned, there's something miraculous in the making.
