ANW's Meaningful Monday

What grows you up?

Growing up is not easy, but necessary to survive and thrive in this challenging world; and helping you to do so is maturity.

For many years, almost 30, I thought I was mature enough to handle and help my profession, Nursing, But I wasn't. The more I tried to help, the worse it got. Trying to create healthy working conditions came at the expense of domination, gossip, shame, undermining, belittling, intimidation and much more; and finally, a stress induced heart attack for doing so.

It has not been until now, 7 years later, that I have developed a maturity, a spiritual one, that has provided me with the full armor of God to fight any battle or war on any given day. My armor is filled with an arsenal of prayer, protection, confidence, strength, and wisdom, which allows me to "not...be ashamed and...correctly [handle] the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), "avoid godless chatter" (2:16), and "avoid foolish and ignorant disputes" (2:23 NKJV).

So, if you find yourself needing some spiritual maturity to help you grow too, might you “come to [your] senses and escape from the trap of the devil” (2:26) and flourish. #KeepGrowing & #MatureYourSpirit
