When It's Time To Pivot

I don’t know about anybody else, but for me, letting go has never been easy. Whether it’s a job, a relationship, or any situation that’s run its course, I’ve always had a hard time saying goodbye.

But here’s what I’ve learned — even in my stubbornness, God is patient with me. Still, when it’s time to go… it’s time to go.

I remember working at a store years ago. The environment had grown toxic, but I stayed because the owner was my friend’s mom and I didn’t want to feel like I was abandoning her. I ignored every sign to leave — until one day, I walked in and she said, “Thank you for your time and all your efforts. Here’s $200 extra. I’ll give you your paycheck at the end of your shift. Today is your last day.”

I was devastated. But looking back, I realize I had no business still being there. Sometimes, if God opens a door for you and you don’t walk through it, He’ll push you out through a closed window.

Right now, I’m in a new season of pivoting. It’s been a long time coming — I’d been in a situation for a while, wondering if I should leave. I waited, prayed, and watched for signs. Recently, an opportunity came along that was clearly a trial run. By the end, it was clear that a door was closing. This time, I had a choice: force it open or pivot. I chose to pivot. And the confirmation I’ve received since has been undeniable.

This week, I challenge you to ask yourself:

What season are you in?
Is it time for you to pivot?
Have you pivoted recently without even realizing it?

Sometimes, when we’re too stubborn, God will gently — or not so gently — nudge us into something new. And while change can be uncomfortable, it can also be the very thing that leads us closer to the life He’s calling us to live.

Sometimes God Closes the Door for You

Let’s embrace the pivot.
