Doing It Anyway: The Quiet Power of Showing Up

Sometimes we make big, beautiful plans — and at the slightest missed intention, we’re tempted to throw them all away.

We set a goal to go to the gym every day... but miss a few days, and suddenly the dream of getting healthy feels out of reach. We dream about starting a business... but after a month of little action, we convince ourselves to just stay in the job we don’t love. We commit to posting on social media daily... but one missed day (okay, maybe a week) makes us want to give up altogether.

But here’s the thing about goals: You get to try again. Tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.

The truth is, building anything meaningful isn’t about perfect streaks or flawless execution. It’s about showing up — again and again — even when it’s messy, even when it’s slow, even when no one sees the effort but God.

Last year, I faced one of the hardest seasons of my life when I began struggling with a chronic health condition. In the middle of that, the Holy Spirit nudged me: Start working out.

It didn’t make sense. It wasn’t convenient. It certainly wasn’t easy.

But I did it anyway. Some days my workouts were barely 20 minutes. Some weeks I missed more days than I completed. And yet — I kept going. I kept showing up. I kept trying.

Because my goal wasn’t about being perfect. It was about building a new lifestyle — one decision, one imperfect day at a time.

And you know what? This has proven true across every area of my life.

My doctorate is taking longer than I planned, but it’s still moving forward. My business isn’t growing as fast as I dreamed, but it's still growing, and so are my skills.

My dreams haven’t all unfolded the way I pictured... but they're still unfolding.

Progress isn’t about never falling. It’s about getting back up.

If you’re in a season where it feels easier to quit than to keep trying, don’t let the enemy lie to you. You are not failing because it's slow. You are not disqualified because you missed a step. You are not behind.

Every dream worth building will require you to keep showing up — even when it’s hard, even when it’s messy, even when you feel like you should be farther along by now.

Keep going. Keep believing. Keep doing it anyway.

The life God is building in you is still unfolding — one imperfect, beautiful, grace-filled step at a time. And He’s not finished yet. 💛
