You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.♥️ ~ Shaun
Listen, then follow through.
I am learning more and more to listen to that still small voice. Sometimes it’s the things we blow off that matter the most. We do not have to understand the reasoning behind what we hear to do. All we have to do is follow through. Never know who can use exactly what we have been asked, or prompted, to provide. It could be the encouragement someone needs or confirmation of a message. If we truly trust God as we claim, then we should follow through no matter how unimportant it may seem.
What is most important to you? For me, it’s my family and healthy relationships.
The last few days, actually months, have been quite challenging. Not sure if this is the most difficult season I have had to endure, but it’s pretty close. Although things have been a little crazy, I personally believe I am handling things well. I know that if any of this would have happened a few years back, I would have had a mental breakdown. Thanking God for growth. Thanking God for the smaller challenges – the ones I did not believe I would make it through – they prepared me for what I am facing today.
I believe I am doing better this time around because I am only focusing on, as well as holding on to, things and relationships that are most important to me. They are keeping me afloat.
I pray you are focused on what’s most important in your life. Love you!♥️
We don’t always get it right the first time. Perhaps, it was not meant for us to. Maybe the first time was a dry run just to see how we would fare. Gotta love life.
This quote comes from one of my favorite Tyler Perry movies, “The Family That Preys.” It is a question I tend to ask myself after someone close to me passes.
Last week, I found out one of my cousins was in the hospital, slowly passing away. I had no idea she was sick. Turns out the cancer she thought she beat 12 years ago had returned some time last year. She passed away the day before yesterday. Honestly, I’m numb. I’m speechless. I’m sad. I’m hurt. I feel lost. There’s just so much I am feeling right now. I have been trying to hold back the tears but I’m not doing a good job at it.
My cousin’s name was Adrea. She was my stepdad’s oldest niece. We were both turning 50 this year. Her and my sister right under me shared the same birthdate. And I shared the same birthdate as her dad. We met when we were about five and spent our childhood summers together. Sadly, we only saw each other a few times as adults. The last time we saw each other was about 10 years ago. I just knew we would see one another again at one of our random family reunions.
Yes, today I’m sad. I woke up asking myself if I am living or just existing. It makes me second guess the way I am living. Am I wasting time on certain things when I need to be pursuing other things? I wonder if things are moving a little too slowly. I want so badly to help God along but I am also trying to allow Him to work in His time. Y’all, I really want to scream. I don’t want to die before I experience everything I can possibly imagine. And I want to make it happen now but I don’t want to overstep God’s authority. UGH!!!!!!
Yes… today is a lot!!
Anyhoo… I know I will feel differently later. Just had to get that out. Y’all have a blessed day.♥️
