News and insights
Ascend National Wealth Advisors, Financial Advisors in Bellevue, WA | Thrivent
Ever notice how life’s biggest decisions often come with more questions than answers? Retirement, career shifts, even relocating—all tend to spark way more uncertainty than we expect. And this is how God works too, isn’t it? He didn’t tell Abraham the whole plan, he just said in Genesis 12, “Go from your land… to the land that I will show you.” What I’ve learned from working with clients (and from my own family) is that momentum builds from small actions, not waiting for total clarity. The best moves aren’t always perfect. Sometimes, picking a next step—booking a meeting, researching a community, or having a candid conversation—creates a ripple effect that opens up new options and confidence. It’s easy to feel stuck looking for “the right answer,” but progress usually means getting started, learning along the way, and adjusting as you go. If you’re in the middle of big changes, trust that imperfect action can be more powerful than perfect planning, and that God will be guiding the way. Reach out anytime if you want to talk through the next step—sometimes a sounding board is all it takes to move forward. . . . My team: thrivent.com/ascend Disclosures: thrivent.com/social
