If I had to give this season of my life a title I would call it "growth". As my 30th birthday is drawing closer and closer, I just can't help but reminisce on how far I have come as a person in the past few months. At the beginning of the year I made a very deliberate decision to stop complaining about the things in my life I didn't like and start putting the work in to change those exact things. Doing that has forced me to take accountability for the things that I actually can change in my life and the strength to accept the things that I am not able to control. The past few months have shown me how important it is to grow as a Christian woman. Growth is inevitable in our journey with Christ. It forces you to grow out of your comfort zone in order for God to take you from glory to glory.
Imagine seeing a baby on the day it's born and then 5 years later just to see that nothing has changed. The baby is still the same size. In diapers, not a hair grew, no teeth, and helpless. It wouldn't take a genius to tell that something isn't right here. But why don't we see it the same way in our Christian life? How can we claim to walk with God for years and years and yet there is no sign of growth?
Growth affects every area of your life. We must grow in our mindset. Grow in prayer. Grow in character and grow territorial. As much as it might be everyone's desire to grow in the things of God, many of us find it difficult. There are certain hindrances that we encounter as we want to grow. Instead of overlooking these hindrances in our characters that stop us from becoming who God wants us to be as women, it's time we face and overcome them. Here are 5 reasons why you're not growing as a Christian woman in your growth season.
