In the waiting… Part 2

Patience has never been a strength of mine… Ok I take that back…  Patience is an area that I have been forced to be strengthened in, but waiting is my LEAST favorite thing to do… And it’s so frustrating when I have done everything within my power to accomplish a goal and still have to wait on someone or something else to make it happen… Especially when there’s always this thought in the back of my mind that the other … Continue reading “In the waiting… Part 2”

Be good to yourself today…

Last week was the busiest week that I have had in a while… And while everything that I gave my attention to fell under the category of “things that I enjoy doing”… this morning I realized that I needed to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep  because my body and mind needed a little bit more time to recharge… It’s so important to be good to yourself and listen to what your body is telling you that … Continue reading “Be good to yourself today…”

For such a time as this..

I’m finding it a little hard to choose one topic to focus on…  And each time that I have attempted to allow you all to ride on one of my trains of thought, my mind quickly jumps to a different track… I guess transition causes my mind to wander in that way… And though I have only knowingly been preparing for this transition for the past 9 or so months… as I continue to reflect on all of the intricate … Continue reading “For such a time as this..”

Thoughts while in mid-air…

Taking a step of faith is such a wild process… And though I’ve taken many different steps of faith throughout my years on this earth, I can honestly say that there has never been a time that I didn’t doubt my decision… Especially after I’ve taken the step and my foot in kind of dangling in mid-air because it hasn’t quite landed back onto solid ground… Thoughts while in mid-air… Or maybe it’s more accurate for this to say “battles … Continue reading “Thoughts while in mid-air…”

Did I fumble… or naw…?

As of lately, I’ve been trying to determine whether or not I fumbled an opportunity that was presented to me… And it doesn’t matter what I’m referring to because I’m sure that everyone can relate to the idea of hesitating to make a decision because you are unsure that it is what’s best for you… But I’ve thought about it a lot the past month or so… and as of lately I’ve been wondering if the door is closed… I … Continue reading “Did I fumble… or naw…?”

You have two choices…

It’s interesting how oftentimes you don’t discover how wounded you are until you come across something that is different than what you’ve previously experienced… Something that feels right though you’ve only experienced the wrong… Something that seems good though you’ve only experienced the bad… But you know that you’re experiencing it through the filter of your past pain because you don’t trust it… You don’t trust that you can have something right… because you’ve only experienced the wrong… You don’t … Continue reading “You have two choices…”

Redemption’s on my mind…

The process of redemption is actually kind of wild when I really think about it, because it generally includes some sort of tragedy or misfortune on the front end of the story… But there is something really beautiful about watching someone come out of a season of struggle or constant setbacks… and come out on the other side stronger and wiser, appearing to be unbothered by the very thing that should have taken them out… If we do the work … Continue reading “Redemption’s on my mind…”
