🎥 Video 88 — What Has Changed in Me Since Writing Waking Up Zion

When I started writing Waking Up Zion…

I didn’t really know where it would take me.

I just knew something inside me was shifting.

---

🌱 Where I Was Then

At the beginning…

there was a lot going on inside.

Questions.
Frustration.
Confusion.

Things I had believed for a long time…

didn’t feel as clear anymore.

And I didn’t quite know what to do with that.

---

🧠 Trying to Sort It Out

So I did what I tend to do.

I started writing.

Trying to make sense of it.

Trying to understand what was true…
what wasn’t…
what mattered…
what didn’t.

And for a while…

it felt like I was trying to solve something.

---

🔄 What Changed Along the Way

But somewhere along the way…

it stopped being about solving things.

And started becoming something else.

Something quieter.

Something more personal.

---

❤️ I Softened

That’s probably the biggest change.

I softened.

Toward people.
Toward the Church.
Toward things I used to feel strongly about.

Not because everything suddenly made sense…

but because I started seeing people differently.

Good people.

Trying the best they can.

Living what they’ve been given.

---

🕊️ Less About Being Right

I don’t feel the same need to prove things anymore.

To convince.
To correct.
To sort everything into right and wrong.

That urgency…

just isn’t there like it used to be.

---

👣 More About Walking

Instead…

my focus shifted to something much simpler.

Just walking with Him.

Day by day.

Quietly.

Honestly.

---

🌿 Peace Over Pressure

There’s more peace now.

Less pressure.

Less feeling like I have to figure everything out.

Or explain everything.

Or defend anything.

---

🧭 I See Things Differently

I still see things.

I still notice things.

But it doesn’t hit the same way.

There’s more patience.

More space.

More trust that the Lord knows how to work with people…

without me needing to step in.

---

❤️ My Family Matters More

If anything…

this whole journey has brought me back to what matters most.

My wife.

My family.

Loving them well.

Being present.

Not trying to pull anyone anywhere…

just being steady.

---

🔄 What This Was Really About

Looking back…

this wasn’t about waking anyone else up.

It was about waking me up.

---

🌅 Where I Am Now

I don’t feel like I’ve arrived somewhere.

I’m still walking.

Still learning.

Still growing.

But it feels different now.

Simpler.

Calmer.

More real.

---

👣 If There’s Anything I’d Leave Behind

If there’s anything I’d leave with you, it would be this:

You don’t have to figure everything out.

You don’t have to carry pressure.

You don’t have to force anything.

---

🕊️ Just Walk With Him

That’s what this came down to for me.

After all of it.

Just…

walk with Him.

---

🔚 Final Thought

If anything changed in me through all of this…

it’s this:

I’m less interested in being right.

And more interested in staying close to Him.

And for me…

that’s enough.
