A TURN OF EVENTS

 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
