Yesterday, I was listening to a sermon, and something the minister said hit me hard. He mentioned that some of us are in a constant state of crisis because if God were let up, He might lose us—He might lose our commitment. Can you imagine? A constant state of crisis. Not just any crisis, but the kind that keeps us from growing, evolving, and experiencing the peace God designed for us.
It made me pause and think. What areas of my life are in crisis simply because I haven’t matured? I started to do some real self-reflection. See, when we don’t grow, we keep repeating the same situations. We say, “Oh, it’s a mistake,” or “God’s trying to teach me something,” but sometimes, we’re stuck because we refuse to learn the lesson. It’s immaturity, plain and simple.
For me, this shows up in my business. I’ll have a great month—things are flowing, the revenue is coming in, and I feel like I’m on top of the world. But then, the next month, things slow down. Why? Because I’ve been in this constant hustle mentality. No systems, no automation—just hustle, hustle, hustle. Always chasing that next dollar, always in crisis mode.
But recently, my team and I decided enough is enough. We started building real systems, real structures in place—creating pipelines, funnels, and flows that give us predictable outcomes. And let me tell you, it’s been liberating. Suddenly, I don’t feel like I have to live in crisis anymore. I can relax a little, knowing there’s a plan in place. I’ve realized that’s where I needed to grow.
This isn’t just about business, though. It’s about life. We need to take inventory, checking the areas where we’re stuck in crisis because we refuse to grow. That message I heard wasn’t just for church—it was for me, my business, and my personal growth. The hustle isn’t bad, but where’s the peace if your whole life is a hustle? Where’s the joy?
Dr. Darius Daniels, the minister I listened to, said that sometimes God keeps us in crisis so we don’t forget about Him. Think about that. What crisis are you constantly in because you haven’t matured? What comfort zone do you keep retreating to when things settle down? If we’re not careful, we’ll find ourselves stuck, anxious, and joyless because we’re not moving forward.
It’s time to check yourself—October is the perfect month for reflection. What areas of your life are in constant crisis because you refuse to grow? Convicting question, right? It hit me hard. So, I’m passing it along to you—take it, reflect on it, and make the necessary changes so you’re not stuck in that cycle of crisis and worry.
And let’s be honest, we all know people who live their entire lives in crisis mode—same job, same routine, no growth. Maybe it’s comfortable, but are they living? My husband taught me something powerful: don’t get too settled. He never puts pictures up at his desk, no matter the job. Why? Because he’s always thinking about his next move, always growing, always pushing forward.
So, as you go about your day, ask yourself: are you in a crisis because you’re refusing to grow? It’s time to call on God, commit to growth, and break free from that cycle.
