WHAC-A-MOLE 101

When you realize who you are, what you are, and who you belong to, you can always begin to find peace and understanding.

This post today will be short and sweet. I know for a fact everyone has felt like their life was a game of Whac-A-Mole!!!! And if you haven’t, let’s be real you’re not being honest with yourself. Today I felt like that old mole in the game and life was the mallet! So, to help me regain some peace, I took a moment to breathe and this scripture from Proverbs came to mind. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight (NKJV).

If you ever come to the place where I was today, here are some scriptures I like to meditate on……

  • James 1:2-3 (KJV)” My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”

  • Philippians 4:6 (KJV)” Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

  • Psalms 55:22 (KJV)” Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

Goodnight! #MileTwo

 

Never be in a hurry; Do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
— Saint Francis De Sales

A TURN OF EVENTS

When life gives you lemons, the best thing to do is make the best darn lemonade and put your best foot forward.

 Well Well Well, Let’s get down to business. Ya girl is in a waiting season, and I must say this by far has been one of the most challenging things ever (literally). But before I explain that, let’s go back a little bit. April of 2017 rolled around and I just knew that I would be walking across the stage with my class in May getting my bachelor’s degree. I took a few senior pictures, told family and friends, and I was set on being done especially because I was ready to move on from undergrad at the illustrious Fisk University. However, nothing worked out the way I had planned on it. I found out my credits were a little off, and had 3 more classes to finish. Of course, being the perfectionist, I am, and one who likes to have control I tried to take the classes elsewhere. But the GAG is, that did not go as planned either! I felt very discouraged at the time, and became depressed because I had gotten so close to graduating and I was delayed. To be completely honest, I felt like a total FAILURE.

Now I know everything happens for a reason, and I did try to tell myself that God knows what’s best, but for once I didn’t have any answers for this nor could I fix it. I had no one to really turn to for answers either, and I was worried about what other people would say, because let’s be honest…… People will criticize and judge your situation without even knowing you or your life. I did a lot of praying and crying every day because for the life of me I couldn’t see what God was doing, and why I had to wait! I remembered a scripture that was told to me by my seventh grade teacher who became one of my mentors, ” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end” Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV). This scripture gave me hope again in understanding that God wants the best for me and He will alter your plans as He sees fit. So, am I waiting on God’s best for me? I guess so! I’m in a place where God wants me to fully trust and rely on Him. So, here’s my journey……. #MileOne
