Are you doing what you need to do?

This year is coming to an end quickly. I know everyone is preparing for a new year resolution, but why I haven't you just got started. There have been things on your mind that you should be doing for months, and you think waiting to the beginning of next year is the best time to get on it. What if the opportunity shows up at the beginning of next year and all you have is the thought that you could have been working on it.

I am a strong believer that you have to talk things over with your creator, but to pray to God and do nothing is crazy. I am not talking about making things happen in your own strength. I am saying if you are telling yourself that you are going to have a business that is going to take off and it is going to be successful. To not even look at what it will require is madness. Let me make it simpler. If you have booked a trip to somewhere you have always dreamed of going. You know it is going to call for a lot of walking and you are having a hard time making it up and down your stairs. It would be nonsense not to start walking daily.

It is so important to pray but prayer without works is dead. You have to start making subtle changes to be ready when God puts the opportunity before you. Saying you want to do a get ready with me vlog and aren't organized doesn't make sense. Work on becoming organized so it can flourish, and not be another thing you started and couldn't keep up with because you are overwhelmed.

This is just a slight reality check from someone that wants you to thrive in your next big thing. Don't just take about it put some action behind the things you say you want.

Miracles on Miracles

I can't even, I can't even count them all. I think about how I used to use every free moment to be high or be eating. That is literally all I did with my friends when we linked up. Of course, there were conversation and laughter, but we weren't talking about nothing. We were using all our free time to forget all the pain of the past and that we were currently experiencing.

Over the years before I stopped smoking and drinking, I would have times where I would say I needed my head clear to face things or to make sure I wasn't addicted. I would still b able to have a good time with my friends because my favorite thing was food.

I never imagined there would be a time when none of those things had control of me. I am walking in that space. I thought my past had impacted me to strongly for me to be a wife or a mother, and I am living in an answered prayer. I used to say I couldn't lose one more person, and now I am able to leave people that mean me no good right where they stand.

I am a walking miracle. I have peace and joy I didn't think were meant for people who had experienced so much trauma. God poured confidence and love in me that I always knew I was valuable. Sometimes that is all I had. It felt like a sick joke at times because there were times when it felt no one else seen it. I held on to it though. I got to the point where I reconnected with God and started to understand why I couldn't feel worthless. He had put something inside of me he needed me to share. It's a miracle I made it here.

Don't miss the everyday miracles in your waiting

I know there are a lot of people waiting on God for the big miracle. I am right there with you. God is also doing everyday miracles as we wait. Are you seeing them? Are you thanking God for them? Or are you so focused on when is what you really want going to happen?

If it is the later, don't cause more delay in being ungrateful. God showed me the big thing over 13 years ago. At first it didn't align with the life I seen for myself at all. A few years later I could see how it could be beneficial. I few years after that I began to align with it. I few years after that I tried to make it happen on my own strength and almost ruined everything God was working on.

In all those years God was preparing me to be who I needed to be to sustain what he had shown me. I would have not appreciated it like I should, I would have not taken proper care of it, I wouldn't have seen the value it held, and the last lesson I learned I would had people there that would have tainted what God wanted done.

In my waiting I have grown physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I have strengthened and built my relationship with God. I have healed up things that would have had me distracted. I have seen what God sees in me. I have married and became a bonus mom. I have felt a deeper pain and became grateful for the lessons. I am walking in my power and dominion. I am identifying my gifts. I am able to be the love I want to see, and not from lack but from knowing.

I am so grateful to God for what he has done as I wait. Tomhave had the blessing from God and lost it because I wasn't ready. God knows that would have broken me. He wants to make sure we are equipped to handle the highs and the lows of what he is giving us. I now know to depend on God for everything I need. He is the provider of it all. God is the only reason I know I should have it. Why would I seek answers from anywhere else.
