Timing

Here’s another memory about timing. Smiling because even after I made this post six years ago, I still had more deadlines and things I wanted to accomplish by age 50. Now, everything I said back in 2018 about releasing it all, is true. No more deadlines. Everything will happen when it’s time. Although I can’t see myself being an elder and finally fulfilling certain dreams, so many others have had to wait to see their dreams come to fruition and they are doing quite well. Which means I’m going to be just fine. What’s meant to happen will happen. My job is to enjoy every moment of the here and now. Smiling

Facebook Memory: June 3, 2018

Good Morning! Trust God’s timing. I used to create deadlines. Deadlines are good for work projects, but can be horrible for your personal life. I had a deadline for everything- when I wanted to have my first child, my second child, get married and so on. Well, I got all of those things by my deadline. However, I wasn’t ready for what I received. God sent warning signs but I overrode each one so that it would fit my timing, my deadline.

A few years ago, I let go of the deadlines. I decided to leave it ALL in God’s hand and to actually heed the warnings. Needless to say, nothing happened as I’d planned. NOTHING! But the BEST part of it all was God’s timing was ALWAYS on point! I look back over the years and see where I was about to make another decision based on FEAR of missing an opportunity, or a deadline I set for myself years ago (those young adult deadlines), and God said WAIT.. BE STILL! I waited and things turned out better than I’d ever imagined. For real! Y’all just don’t know how grateful I am that I listened.

Now this year- 2018- this year has been rough. All of “my” deadlines have been thrown aside. Yes, I went back to setting deadlines. I’m human. Lol! Now I’m back to trusting God’s timing. I already KNOW that the outcome will be so much better that what I’ve planned. Amen!

Two events on my timeline that I set when I was around 19 or 20—that I was adamant about—was having my first child at 21 and the second by 30. Well, at the time that they were conceived I had already changed my mind; however, it happened anyway. Yes, they happened and they’re the best gifts I could have added to my timeline. Never knew how important they would be in my life. God is good. Even when I had changed my mind, He already had a plan for that ask.

Well, let me get moving. This month I’m not in a rush to do anything. So my posts will happen sporadically, no specific time frame. I will try to post them somewhat around the same times (will try to schedule them), but my mind is on vacation (wish I was physically) and things will get done at my leisure. I ain’t stressing none this month. Laughing

Have a blessed week!♥️

Love you,
