The Season of Change

Have you ever had God ask you to do something that you believed was insignificant, so you didn’t? Or, maybe you decided not to do it because you just didn’t want to? Well, yesterday I almost missed the mark with one of my posts. Little did I know, someone needed that particular message.

The Facebook memory I am now sharing was supposed to be my first post for today. I had decided not to share it because I am currently in a season of change, and y’all, some of these changes are difficult to embrace.

Well, while I was thinking about myself, I found out someone actually needed this exact message. They needed to be reminded that change is going to happen. Instead of resisting it, embrace it. There are so many wonderful blessings waiting on the other side. Here is the message–

Change is inevitable. Y’all, it’s going to happen. And even though God is omnipotent, it’s hard for Him to work if we are not willing to change. So instead of resisting it, embrace it!

Yesss… Embrace the change and watch God work!♥️

I am not feeling these changes but I know they will be worth it in the future.

From here on, I will try to be more obedient (I’m still human). I have to accept that it’s not about me, it’s about what God is doing through me.

That’s it for today; unless I have the urge to share something else. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Love you!♥️

I Am in Repair

“I’m in repair.” Those were the words Nicole Avant used during the first few minutes of her conversation with Jay Shetty. Y’all, that simple statement made me burst into tears because I am in repair. Yes… me!

While I was crying, I began thinking about every negative experience I had gone through. Every disappointment, heartache, loss and hurt. The feelings of grief, abandonment, neglect, unworthiness, and betrayal. Every negative thing that I had emotionally detached myself from so that I wouldn’t feel the pain, came flooding back. When I tell you I bawled!

At the end of their conversation they actually revisited the topic of being in repair, and Nicole mentioned crying. That crying was good. My 8th grade Spanish teacher used to say crying cleanses the soul. They’re both right. I needed to cry and may need to shed a few more tear.

Y’all, I am so very grateful God loves me. He always gives me exactly what I need when I need it. There was a segment during the interview where Nicole mentioned pruning a bush or tree and how it didn’t look so good afterwards; however, when spring came, it was beautiful. I’ve said it before, I know I am being pruned. It doesn’t feel good but I know the results will be beautiful.

Here’s the link to Jay Shetty’s conversation with Nicole Avant – Nicole Avant On The Hardest Day of Her Life.

I loved Nicole’s energy! So positive. So full of life. And y’all, she also believes we are all connected. This made me smile. Can’t wait to read her book, “Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace and Gratitude.”

Y’all, God is good. I am truly, truly blessed and loved.♥️

The Answer is “Wait”

Facebook Memory: October 20, 2022

One of the EASIEST things to do is repeat past mistakes because of impatience. One of the HARDEST things to do is wait because nothing seems to be happening. Today, I encourage you to WAIT!

Release control of the situation and leave it in God’s hands. The results are far better when we wait on God.

Wishing you a fabulous Friday and lovely weekend! Love you!♥️
