GOD’S FAVORITE.
As I sit here in my soft silk pajamas on this gloomy, yet warm Easter Sunday, I didn’t want to come off cliche or programmed. I have on my worship playlist and “Known” by Tauren Wells is playing through my Macbook speaker and I am just sitting here in awe. Each week, my blog post are written and curated based on my weekly “theme” if this makes any sense. For example, if the highlight of my weekdays were forgiveness, then my post on Sunday will highlight just that. This week, I had a pretty amazing week full of breakthroughs, gracious moments, all of the good things. So here we are.
If you have me on social media then you know that my daily morning mantra is to simply “Start each day with a grateful heart”. This is something that I had embraced a few years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. What better way to wake up than being grateful for even being able to open your eyes as others weren’t as fortunate? God has his hands all over me. He always has, and for that, I am forever in debt to him. Like have you ever just sat with yourself and realized “that thing” that you thought you’d never get through, you got through? We are so much stronger than we think we are.
I am a very grounded and spiritual individual. I lean on God for any and everything. He is the foundation of every aspect of my life. I don’t want to sit here and preach to you guys on this lovely day but just know that when I’m done with this blog post, you’ll understand all that I’m saying so much better. There has been plenty times in life when I felt this disconnect. This weird feeling where I knew that I wasn’t myself, but at the same time I had no idea just why. But somehow, I always knew what I needed to do in order to tap in and “fix it”.
Water. I always look to the water. I enjoy visits by the water when I need to reset, refocus, ground myself, and just gain perspective. Standing in front of the ocean and just seeing how small I am compared to it always reminds me of how small all of my worries are compared to God. This man never misses. Even when I may stray away, he still remains so faithful to me.
The things that you want will not always come when you feel as if you’re ready. At times, they’ll come before you’re fully prepared which then forces you to get ready. I’ve learned this the hard way. I’d ask God for something that I felt I truly wanted, nothing done on my end, no preparation for it, no plan or blueprint, just me being spoiled and begging. BOOM. Ask and you shall receive, and then there’s me just sitting there looking stupid. Because I was in no way ready for the blessings that I had requested. I always try to remind myself that moving fast < moving correctly. There is room for mistakes. There is room for imperfection. Growth requires it. When you want something different, you have to move differently. So here I am.
The biggest lesson that I have learned in my late twenties and EARLY thirties (please, ya girl is only 31 lol) is learning to wait (on God). Isaiah 40:31 has become one of my favorite bible verses for that very lesson. I am so grateful for moments that allow me to see why it was best that things did not work out the way I wanted them to. These moments remind me to think bigger, envision bigger, to allow my faith to be bigger, and that I would have settled otherwise.
The next 6 months of my life: ALL GAS, NO BREAKS. Literally. Sorry, I’m building my dream life. I am extremely grateful for all that God has done, God is doing, and God will do in this little life of mine. My frequency has switched up because I have realized that I am fulfilling a purpose and building a legacy much bigger than myself. God is within her. Do you know just how powerful that is? I WILL NOT LOSE.
