This morning, I asked God how I would know what His BEST was for me, and He assured me that I would know. He gave me an example of how I asked for something very specific—not asked in a prayer, just a random ask (nothing intentional)—and it happened. He said that’s how I will recognize the BEST. It’s not something I will have to seek, second guess, or question if it’s the BEST, I will just know.
I will know.
Deep, huh? Smile
That’s all for now. Praying you a wonderful day and blessed week!♥️
Since it’s Friday and January 31, I thought I’d share my Facebook memory from Friday, January 31, 2020.
This is the social media find I was referring to. Image credit: Unknown
That was five years ago. Boy, does time fly! Since then, I have taken more chances than I can name. At that time, my brother, who was my same age, had just died. A few months before he died, he had finally quit a job he had hated for years and ventured out on his own. Y’all, after he died, there was no way I was going to keep missing opportunities. I was serious about living without regrets. Now, I’m not saying all of the chances I took were successful because they surely weren’t; however, at least I tried.
Listen, take chances. Even if people look at you sideways or think you’re the craziest person in the world, take them. Maybe you’ll be successful at some, maybe not. At least you won’t live with the regret of not trying.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed weekend.♥️
Here’s a memory that is so worth sharing. Five years ago, I wrote—
“The only way I can move forward is to face my fears and stop sabotaging opportunities.”
Five years later (today)…
I’m trying not to laugh, because it’s definitely not funny, but I don’t know why I thought my fears would magically disappear. Call me naive, but I assumed that if I just prayed about it, everything would be fine. I didn’t realize I needed to actively put myself out there—joining groups, sitting on committees, and creating TikTok and YouTube videos—before the fear would start to subside. Now, don’t get me wrong, prayer helped, but it did not replace me facing my fears head on.
Now, I would be lying if I said fear doesn’t still pop up, because believe me it does; however, it’s not as intense as it was. I know y’all are probably tired of me talking about how my life changed after turning 50, but it really did. And it wasn’t until last week, when I decided to make a TikTok video, that I noticed the anxiety was gone. Nothing but God!
Listen, when I tell you I have been experiencing so many “God-moments” lately. Y’all, He’s working, and not only can I feel it, but I can also see it.
Good Morning! Listen, those blessings you have been praying for are coming. And guess what? You won’t have to seek them out, they’ll find you. All you have to do is be open to receiving them. Speaking from experience.
♥️
Short story…
Moments ago, I was doing what I love doing—creating; and while creating, the thought came to mind that I am actually doing what I love doing. It’s funny that what I had been working so hard to achieve, and thought I was miserably failing at, I have already been doing. I just couldn’t see it because I was expecting something different. I now realize everything has been slowly coming to and happening for me. As I evolve and grow—allowing God to lead—the more blessings and opportunities are coming my way. Y’all, when I really reflect on my life, I haven’t had to seek out anything—blessings and opportunities have always found me.
When I tell you I love watching God work! I just love how He loves me!!🥰
On July 23, 2019, I wrote the following (shared the entire post in the screenshot below), “I’m learning that opportunities do come around more than once, just repackaged.” Well, this is absolutely true. As with issues we don’t properly handle—you know the ones that keep resurfacing in different ways—opportunities do come back around, often in a different form. Well… sometimes we actually get the same exact opportunity—not repackaged in a different way, but exactly the same.
Now, five years ago and even up until recently, I actually believed once a door (opportunity) was closed, it was closed. Boy was I wrong! What I am learning is God closes some doors until we are better equipped to handle what’s on the other side. Not only am I watching this unfold in my own life, but I am watching it happen with Vice President Kamala Harris. Y’all, it’s the same exact door (opportunity).
With this being said, know that closed doors (opportunities) do reopen. Yes, they actually do! So, don’t give up. Keep doing what you are doing and when the time is right it will reopen, and you won’t even have to knock on it. The door will just open. Don’t you just love how God works.Smiling
That’s all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️
