Hello and welcome to the Hope Unlocked podcast . I'm your host , kristen Kurtz , and I'm also the founder of New Wings Coaching , where I empower and unlock women to soar in their calling and roar with their voices . If you're curious to learn more about how coaching can help you unlock your potential , be sure to explore the show notes for ways to connect with me further . Get ready to dive in as we uncover empowering keys and insights in this episode . So tune in and let's unlock hope together . So how often does somebody tell you something and it just totally restricts what maybe you thought was possible ? Do you have people in your life that cause you to , like I said , constrict what you think might be possible ? Now , with God , all things are possible , right , and he can do like immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine , which sometimes can be . There's tension in that , at least for me , at times . So I think , like one of the things I love about Eagles is that they can see beyond , like they can see so far . I believe that they can see a rabbit like if they're in a tree . They can see a rabbit like from three miles away . I believe that that's . I might be off in my my ledge there . But I just love that . They can see beyond . They can see beyond any obstacles . They just they have something in sight and they go for it .

Speaker 1

And I just wonder how many of you have been paralyzed by ? You know you have a vision like the Lord's given you something to step into , to create , to maybe help others in , and yet somebody comes along and maybe questions your intentions , questions what you're doing , questions like what in the world ? Like how do you even think this is possible ? And especially when it's something that's bigger than you can imagine and I've said this before you need people in your corner that remind you of your . But God said not coming in and saying but what if let's create a plan B ? If God has given you something to create , to walk out , he will provide the materials , the ideas , the resources . It just may take some time . As much as I would love for things to happen overnight In my world , they don't often , and maybe that's just me , but he's created me to be very tenacious and to be very persistent and patient . I like to call it weight training .

Speaker 1

So if you have something in your vision like you're seeing beyond just the circumstances , you're seeing beyond the people that are like who do you think you are trying to do something like this ? I just want to remind you to keep your eye on what he called you to step into . Keep your keep in mind , keep in your heart , keep in your spirit what God has called you to do . What has God called you to do ? I keep hearing in my spirit it's got to be different . It's got to be different . So if you're just trying to , like , come across somebody else and copy their blueprints or copy their plan , you're going to get frustrated . It's going to be like America around I , when I coach women , I really encourage them and we dig out the gold for the different , because there's just too much , too many copycats out there . You can see it online , you can see it everywhere , and I just want to encourage you today , like what is your seeing beyond ? What is his seeing beyond for you in this season , right now ?

Speaker 1

Seeing beyond doesn't necessarily mean making a five year plan . Seeing beyond could be making a week plan . Seeing beyond could be just asking him , like , help me to see beyond what I'm seeing here in my current circumstances , because we're always going to have things that are going to try to paralyze us . We're always going to have things that are going to come along and be challenging . It's not like life is like smooth sailing . We can , I like to believe for those moments , but it's not always going to be that way With him , like it is smooth sailing but there's still going to be storms as we're sailing , there's still going to be .

Speaker 1

It's not like you can go out on the ocean in a boat and avoid waves . There's always going to be something that's going to try to knock you off and you just need to continue see beyond , come up higher , come up higher , come up higher . This is for somebody . You need to come up higher , like an eagle . I think of those silly crows . Whenever I hear them squawking , they make me think of the enemy , the eagles . There's crows that are going to try to attack them , but they don't let it bother them .

Speaker 1

This is like I said this is for somebody . You need to come up higher . Keep your eye on that longer vision , keep your eye on the vision that the Lord has for you , if you need somebody to come alongside you , who will soar with you , who will be in your corner reminding you of that . But God said we are not going to create a but if plan . We are going to see beyond where you are right now and to where God wants you to be , because somebody is waiting for you . Somebody is waiting for you to fully step into who God created you to be . There's something that's snagging you . Not sure who this is for today . I'm going to go now , but I hope you all have a blessed day . Keep your eyes open I like to say eyes wide open . He has given us vision , he's given us purpose . He's given us so much . Don't let what's happening around you snag you up and keep you from taking those steps forward to just embodying who he's created you to be . So have a blessed day . Bye , thank you .
