The Bridge Between Calling and Action
There’s this space that doesn’t get talked about enough—the in-between.
The place where you know God is calling you to something more…
But you haven’t fully stepped into it yet.
You’re still finishing what He told you to let go of.
Still praying.
Still waiting for the right moment to move.
That’s where I am right now: standing on the bridge between the comfort of what I’ve known and the unknown of what He’s calling me to.
It’s a holy tension.
Not because I’m being disobedient. But because I’m being careful, prayerful, and sensitive to God’s timing.
God Honors Movement, Even on the Bridge
I’ve realized that you don’t have to have everything figured out to be walking in obedience. Sometimes, obedience is just taking the next right step—even if it’s small.
Strategically planning out financial cushion before quitting the job.
Clearing out the closet before that spouse comes
Staying faithful in the relationship while quietly praying for direction.
Turning down opportunities that don’t align even when they look good on paper.
Packing little by little before waiting on God’s green light to move
Shifting your heart before shifting your location.
Preparing in faith while still showing up where you are.
The bridge season is where God strengthens your trust, stretches your patience, and begins to align everything for the right release.
I used to think that if I wasn’t all the way in, I must be disobedient. But the truth is: God sees the posture of my heart. And my heart is leaning forward. It’s listening. It’s preparing to move.
You’re Not Alone If You’re “Almost There”
If you’re standing where I am—with one foot in the familiar and one foot in the calling—this is your confirmation:
God hasn’t forgotten you. And you’re not late.
He’s building something in you during this transition.
He’s not rushing you—but He is inviting you.
Inviting you to trust Him deeper.
To stay close to His voice.
To keep preparing behind the scenes.
Because when the moment comes to take that leap?
You’ll know.
And your spirit will already be in motion—because you’ve been walking with Him the whole time.
Encouragement for Today:
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”
— Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
He’s directing your steps—even the small, unsure ones.
He’s with you on the bridge. And He will finish what He started in you.
A Guided Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for being patient with me in the in-between.
Thank You for walking with me through the unknown, and for speaking in the quiet places of my heart.
You see my desire to follow You and You know the areas where I still hesitate.
Give me clarity, give me courage, and help me to trust You more deeply.
I lay down fear. I lay down the pressure to have it all figured out.
And I choose to keep moving with You one step at a time.
Strengthen my spirit on this bridge. Align my heart with Yours.
And when it’s time to leap, I will leap with You.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
