THE GO4IT WEEKLY ISSUE #22

THIS WEEK’S WORD

Laila had vision. She had drive. She had a plan.

But then the storm came.

Within a few months, she lost her biggest client,
her car broke down, and a trusted friend started gossiping
behind her back. She found herself sitting in the same coffee shop
where she once dreamed big now staring at her notebook wondering
if it all meant she missed God somewhere along the way.

Maybe I’m not built for this, she whispered.

But as tears hit her journal, she felt a nudge:

You don’t build purpose to avoid storms.
You build it to stand through them.

That moment changed everything.
Instead of asking Why me? she started asking “What now?”
Instead of collapsing under pressure, she started collecting wisdom from it.

By the end of the year, the storm didn’t stop
but her confidence no longer depended on calm.
She realized that peace is not the absence of storms.
It’s the presence of purpose in the middle of them.

Laila didn’t just survive her storm she was strengthened by it.

Main Lesson

You don’t build purpose to avoid storms;
you build it to endure them.
True strength is not proven when everything is calm;
it’s revealed when everything shakes.
Laila learned that storms don’t mean you have missed your calling,
they expose how deep your roots really go.

Key Takeaway

Stop asking Why me? and start asking What now?
Every storm is an invitation to grow wiser, tougher,
and more grounded. Peace is not found in perfect conditions,
it’s found when your purpose holds steady,
even when the wind howls.


GO4IT LIFE PILLARS 

Stay Grounded in Motion

When everything feels unstable, movement becomes medicine.
Laila learned that motion keeps momentum alive
even if it’s just a 10-minute walk, a few stretches,
or a praise session with her favorite worship track.

Storms make you want to freeze.
But motion reminds your mind. I’m still standing

Your GO4IT Move

•  Schedule a short daily movement ritual something that says
  I’m still in the game.

• Repeat this truth: Every step is strength training for my soul.

Secure Your Foundation

The first area storms usually hit. Finances.
Laila had to make hard calls pausing her subscription plans,
simplifying her systems, and starting a Faith Savings jar
where she stored even $5 a week as a declaration:
I still have a future.

She learned that faith is not denial its direction.

Your GO4IT Move

• Write down your top 3 monthly financial priorities.

• Label one account Purpose Fund.

• Even small deposits are proof you believe bigger is coming.

Anchor in Presence

During the storm, Laila realized something: her family
did not need her perfection; they needed her presence.
Dinner together became calm in chaos.
A simple prayer before bedtime became the reminder
God was still in the middle of it all.

Your GO4IT Move

• Choose one family moment this week to protect a meal,
  a drive, or even five minutes of laughter.

• Don’t aim for perfect. Aim for present.

Shelter, Not Shade

Some people will run for cover when life rains.
Others will hold the umbrella with you.
Laila started seeing the difference.
The storm exposed surface-level connections and revealed real ones.

Your GO4IT Move

• Identify who strengthens your spirit and tell them.

• Let go of relationships that feed fear instead of faith.

Build With the Wind in Mind

The storm taught Laila to plan differently.
She stopped building temporary ideas
and started creating lasting systems.
Every new dream was storm-tested
could it stand when things shook?

Your GO4IT Move

•  Revisit your 2025 goals.

• Circle one that feels fragile and reinforce it add structure,
  support, or strategy.

• The stronger the foundation, the bigger the future.

Let God Have the Final Word

Trust the Shelter, Not the Forecast

Storms can make you doubt what God said.
But Laila learned that His promises don’t dissolve in rain.
Even Jesus faced storms and slept through them.
Faith does not mean you won’t face storms;
it means you don’t have to fear them.

Your GO4IT Move

•  Read Mark 4:39 Peace, be still every morning this week.

• Declare aloud: The storm may roar, but it won’t rewrite my purpose.

COACH TYUS NOTE

Here’s what I know: storms don’t come to break you;
they come to reveal what’s built inside you.

Every purpose-driven person will face seasons
where the wind blows hard.
But those winds? They’re proof of movement.
The enemy does not chase what is not a threat.

You were never promised calm, but you were promised victory.
So, when things shake don’t question your calling.
Strengthen your structure.
Storms are God’s way of saying;
I’m preparing you for pressure.

Keep building. Keep believing. Stay unshaken.

Stay focused. Stay ready. Move forward.
