how beginnings find you

There comes a point in every journey when staying requires more effort than leaving.

Not because something is broken — but because the work is complete.

Today’s reflection is about exits, not as failures, but as thresholds.
Not as losses, but invitations.

We’re taught to fear endings.
To cling. To prolong. To over-explain staying.

But exits have always been holy.

Because they are how seasons change.
How growth continues.
How God makes room for what comes next.

I’ve always loved change — and I’ve learned to love exits too.
Because exits are rarely about rejection.
They are about reaching a higher plane.

An exit doesn’t mean something didn’t matter.
It means it mattered enough to complete.

Some exits ask you to move quickly — with courage and clarity.
Others ask you to leave slowly — with tenderness and trust.

Some seasons call for effort, planning, and bold action.
Others call for rest, patience, and release.

Wisdom is knowing the difference.

An exit doesn’t always arrive with certainty.
Sometimes it’s a gentle nudge.
A sense that you’ve learned the lesson.

And that’s enough.

As we move toward the final days of this journey, notice what feels complete.
What no longer needs your proving?
What is asking to be blessed and released?

You don’t have to know exactly what’s next to trust that good is coming.

Because exits are not just the opposite of beginnings.
They are how beginnings find you.

This post and all others in the series are inspired by my 21-day devotional Wake Pray Slay.

To revisit previous posts on slowing down, tuning in, and aligning with your highest self, you can get started here. Or visit yesterday’s reflection on navigating life when hope is fading and light seems diminished.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about opinions — how everyone has one, why most of them do not deserve airtime, and how to navigate all the hootin and hollering. See you there.
