Going 100,000 Miles per Hour

Hello Lovelies,
If I’m honest, lately I feel like I’m going 100,000 miles per hour. From the outside, it might not look like much is happening, but inside, it’s led to frustration.
In my last blog, I shared about putting pride aside and learning to be patient with the Lord. Well, here I am, still walking that out. This season has been filled with downloads from God: the potential of moving, figuring out what to do with my home if I move, starting grad school this fall, and a new direction for GISK. With every revelation comes more questions, but not always the answers I wish I had.
The frustration hits when I wonder: How am I going to survive if I move? Should I have a job before I move? I just closed a business, and savings won’t last forever. Moving is expensive. And then there’s grad school — my first time back in a “classroom” in five years. But even in that, God gave me peace. The MBA in Executive Coaching I’m starting feels like the perfect fit. Reading through my syllabus and seeing that every assignment requiring Scripture to back up my points gave me confirmation that He’s aligning my education with my calling. (Honestly, I could write a whole blog just on that once I get through the first semester!)
But here’s the tension: the Lord is leading me to so much, while leaving out so many details. And it frustrates me. Yet I know Jesus is already 10 steps ahead of me, which means my worries are truly futile. My assignment is to keep in step with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25).
Even today is a reminder. I had a completely free day and prayed, “Lord, what should I be doing?” On my walk yesterday, He had reminded me of something to look into with my home. I started, but without answers I got overwhelmed and took a nap. When I woke up, I started to jump back in and He stopped me. He reminded me that He already gave me a green light on something clear — my blog. He gave me a platform with MissToo Made It to share, yet I was already slipping into inconsistency. So here I am, literally writing this blog. Not in my plan, but in His.
With GISK, He’s given me vision for a new direction, but I know it will take time to unfold. I don’t want to pause the business, but I can’t rush into something He hasn’t revealed the full picture of yet.
When I spent three weeks in Charleston earlier this summer, God really reset me. I slowed down, postured my heart like Mary in Luke 10 — sitting at His feet instead of rushing like Martha. Serving Him in everything I did. Then life picked back up: a week in Charlotte, four days in Mexico, and now I’m back in Charleston for another three weeks. The rhythm is different this time. I can’t sit with Him literally all day, but my posture has to remain the same: eyes fixed on Him, ears open, mind stayed on Him (Isaiah 26:3).
So here’s where I’m at: I don’t have all the answers (y’all have heard me said this a time or two), but I have His Word. Just like Elijah in 1 Kings 17, who had to trust God for provision step by step. Just like Mary in Luke 10, who chose the better part by being still at Jesus’ feet.
That’s what this season is about: honoring the green lights I already have, continuing to pray on the things He hasn’t revealed yet, and learning to stop moving so fast.
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him…” (Psalm 37:7)
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” (Isaiah 26:3)
“Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:4)
I don’t need all the details. I just need to stay in step with the Spirit, one obedient step at a time.
With Love,
Jadesha M. Hair
