I saw a Steve Harvey quote this morning that said—
Somebody needs who you’re becoming. Don’t quit now.
It’s true. Someone needs who you are now and someone needs the person you’re becoming. I encourage you to stay the course. Take breaks when necessary to make sure your spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing are up to par. Then, keep going. Keep going! God’s got you!
I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend.♥️
Many, many moons ago, I closed my emails with—“Trust + Patience = Peace. Enjoy Life💖”
Today, I’m sitting here wondering what made me write that. What made me put trust and patience together? Why did I believe the two would equal peace? Then, I ended it with “Enjoy Life💖” Unfortunately, I can’t find any mention of it in my journals. It was just something I chose. And I kept that closing for years. I’m not even sure when I changed it. It’s definitely one of those things that make you go “Hmmm.”
Anyhoo…
A little while ago, I decided to take a break and draw. It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve drawn anything. Yesterday, I received a plant after my presentation. I used it as inspiration—and inspiration only—don’t judge.😅
*** Had to come back and add this—which really could have been the reason behind the closing. As soon as I shared this post, the Winans song, “Trust In God” started playing in my head. Could that have been the inspiration? Wow! Okay… I’m done.☺️♥️
God’s purpose is much greater than us. We’re only the vessels He’s chosen to use to achieve it.
Honestly, I have no idea what God’s purpose for my life is; however, I do know my purpose is to allow Him to use me as He sees fit. Whatever His purpose is, it’s greater than me. It’s my hope that along my life’s journey, others will see God through me and choose to allow Him to use them, too. Believe me, the love, joy, and peace He provides is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. It’s real.
Okay… let me end here before I start sounding like I’m trying to get y’all to join a cult.😅 But honestly, there’s nothing like residing in God’s presence.
That’s all I have for now. I pray your day is going well.♥️
This weekend, I was told that nothing seems to bother me and that I’m always calm. Well, if you read my post from yesterday, “Look At God,” you’d know that’s not entirely true. Things do bother me, but I have learned not to dwell on them and to keep moving. It’s called moving and living in a space of peace.
Here’s what I have learned over the years. Peace is not something you can buy, nor can it be masked and displayed for others to see. True peace happens within. There’s this calmness you feel inside—even when chaos surrounds you and your mind begins to worry (yes, it still happens—you’re human)—this deep peace within never wavers. That’s the peace I’m referring to. It’s that peace only God can give! Listen, once you have it, you’ll do whatever you must to protect it.
