🌱 Day 5 Naming Obstacles & Supports
Reflection:
Ok, so… we cleared space, set intentions, practiced self-compassion, and started to build some rhythms. Now let’s make sure we keep the beat going. Today’s about naming what could trip us up and what will hold us steady. When you can call both out, you take your power back.
Think of it like walking your garden rows and spotting the weeds trying to grow around your tomatoes. You know what they are, so you know what to pluck up and what you might need to move aside to deal with later. A strong trellis makes sure the tomatoes keep climbing no matter what’s trying to choke them.
Jesus said at harvest time the tares will be gathered and removed and the wheat (or in our case the fruit) gathered safely. That’s why it’s so powerful to know what’s growing in your garden right now.
Scripture:
“Let both grow together until the harvest…” Matthew 13:30 NKJV
Today’s Invitation:
Make a two-column list
Column 1 Obstacles: What could distract, discourage, or drain you during this process
Column 2 Supports/Strategies: What can you put in place to counter or prevent each obstacle
Examples:
Obstacle: “I might forget to pray.” Support: “Set a phone alarm at 5:30 am.”
Obstacle: “I scroll social media instead of journaling.” Support: “Leave my phone in another room.”
Obstacle: “I get discouraged easily.” Support: “Text a friend to check in.”
✨ Tip: If you’re using the Boss Up Planner, this is a perfect page to keep your list visible and check in on it each day.
Closing Prayer/Affirmation:
Lord, thank You for showing me what’s growing in my life. Help me recognize the weeds that crowd my tomatoes and give me the courage to pluck them up. Strengthen my trellis of support so what You’ve planted in me can grow strong and bear fruit. Keep me patient as both grow until the harvest, trusting You and Your timing. Amen.
Meet me back here tomorrow for Day 6, the moment we’ve been preparing for… that we didn’t realize we were preparing for… or did we 😏
