"Sometimes you have to let go of something good, to make way for something great." - Bibs Edge

You GUYS!!! This episode is full of so much goodness and is going to bless you abundantly!

Wrapping up her last semester at Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina, Bibs Edge joined me on Bloom to talk about finding clarity through navigating big life decisions, next steps and just life direction in general.

Bibs is such a gift and her wisdom is well beyond her years. It's easy to see how she has been able to bless so many lives, including mine.

As we began to talk about some defining moments of clarity in our lives, we share helpful ways we can practice finding clarity intentionally that any listener can apply.

In order to do that, we have to cut out a lot of the noise in our lives. Our own noise in our heads, the noise of others and everyday distractions such as technology and the busyness of life.

Here are some ways we are finding clarity:

• Go to prayer - ask Him to guide you
• Get silent and be still - cut out distractions
• Ask yourself what do you want? What do you need in that moment?
• Connect your heart to your gut - what are they telling you?
• Have the courage to act - don't just listen, be a doer
• Get an action plan. Break down the project into bite-sized tasks
• Question your "nevers" - those things that you think you will never do

With clarity comes peace. Bib's best advice is to ask God to "give me the grace to see and the courage to act." Sometimes it's the action that leads the way to the next right step.

There are so many moments of growth in this episode. I can't wait for you to tune in and apply these practices of seeking clarity in your life.
