Pump Your Brakes...

Life Lesson #73: Just because you’re ready to go, doesn't mean God’s ready to let you.

Well it’s been over a year since I’ve written in my blog despite the begging and pleading of friends. I’m realizing I had a lot going on in 2012, but I promise to do better in 2013.

In 2012:

I was desperately seeking another job because this one had taken its toll on my health and sanity. *I was about 2 seconds from hookin’…just kidding, kind of*

I found my heaven on earth. St. Maarten became my sanctuary. *Almost started slangin’ so I could pay for my travel…just kidding, kind of*

Both my brother and my father were diagnosed with cancer. My brother’s battle with cancer ended a couple of weeks ago. *no words*

I supported friends through their personal tragedies. *SMH*

I found my prayer circle to be a source of comfort and a way to exercise my faith. *Watch out Joel Osteen!*

Weaved between all of this are the threads of a tale of a passionate love story. *stop bein’ nosy – I don’t kiss and tell… just wait for the book*

The one thing I realized is that regardless of how ready you are to go and the efforts you take to get somewhere else, if God isn’t ready for you to move, you ain’t goin nowhere. *trust and believe, I tried. Almost sold off all of my personal belongings to be a beach bum*

There is a reason you are where you are, right now. Take a look and make an honest assessment. If you’ve been praying for change and movement, maybe you need to be patient while things are being worked out on your behalf. OR, stop talking and listen; you may need to change your prayer because you’re being told you ain’t going anywhere right now. You’re purpose is not yet complete.

So in the meantime, take up a hobby *I hear needlepoint is making a comeback*; find your happy *I found $200 boots at Goodwill for $6 (Happy Dance!)*…When it’s time to go, God will let you know.

In 2013, I believe there will be a shift in my favor, not only for me but my friends and family. All the things I’ve been praying about will be answered. All things done for my harm will be turned to be for my good. *nanny nanny boo boo… as I pack my suitcase*
