Know When it’s Time to Move On

Hey Family! I Pray that you are well and are gearing up for the Holidays for family time and good eating. I just wanted to share a nugget with you for this week.

As you can see from the title, you already know what I’m talking about to some degree. I just want to share some insight on this. I want to start off by saying you must never stop learning and growing unless you’re comfortable with where you are. Being comfortable can really stagnate you’re growth and hinder you from reaching your full potential. I often sit in deep thought asking myself why didn’t I do this, or why didn’t I go here? Often times the answer is me not moving. So maybe you’re not comfortable in the place you’re in. Maybe you’re too busy doing the same routine and keeping busy that you don’t recognize the need for more or progression. I call these distractions. Sometimes our friends can become distractions. We can take on their burdens and cares and get overwhelmed and over worked with their problems that we never have to time for our own. At every season in life we must take time for us and take inventory. Take inventory of your own peace, joy and happiness. If something is lacking then work on it.

Some of us have many dreams and visions that we want to embark on but were distracted doing other things that doesn’t matter to our vision. Now I’m not saying to go abort all your friends and loved ones. I’m talking about setting boundaries and balancing the scale. No friendship should be out of balance. Just as much as you help someone or pour into them, they should be able to pour into you. If the scale never balances out then it might be time to move on. In life some people are only on your train for a season until you reach their drop off spot. Ask yourself this? Am I benefiting from this situation, friendship, or relationship? If the answer isn’t yes, then it’s time to Move On!

Be Encouraged

Be Blessed!

Encouragement: Start Right NOW, Don’t Wait

Happy Wednesday to all who will read and thank you so much if you are a returning reader. I received so much feedback from my last blog, and honestly it was the peak of the year for the amount of readers. So I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my Blog.

Every year towards the end of the year we all go into panic mode, well at least I do. We say oh yeah, I was suppose do this or that this year and never got to it. So, I’ll just wait until next year to start. I want to tell you firsthand, you’re doing it wrong. Chances are you’re not going to do in the new year. I’m always reminded how the bible says God gives us Β “new” mercies everyday. If you break that down it really means that yesterday is gone and in the past and that today and future are brand spankin new days that you use to start or make a change. I was always writing down a list for the new year. Pause… There’s nothing wrong with planning things to do for the year at all. We make vision boards and such, but even in those plans, you don’t have to wait until the calendar says 2020 you can actually start those things now. They say it takes 21 days to create habit. If you wait for January 1 to start going back to the gym and by the 17th you’ve skipped twice then chances are you’re not going to complete the goal within the 21 days because the habit hasn’t been created yet.

START NOW! I notice on my walk with Christ that I must constantly speak his word over me and over and over and over. It’s the same word but if I create the habit of it then the bad habit or lack of confession will leave. This is exactly what we must start doing. You want the business? Start now. Want to go back to school? Start applying and looking now. Read my last blog about creating the moment and stop waiting for the right and perfect time because it won’t come.

So I want to leave you with this. Start Now so that when you walk into 2020 you will already be doing what you want and mastering your goals.

Be Blessed everyone, Let’s grind and get it!

 

Truth is, There Will Never be a Perfect Time

Hey Family, I pray that you are all well and are living your best life unashamed. Let’s Dive into this!

Last weekend I took a trip to Arizona to visit my Father for his birthday. I wanted it to be a surprise but I didn’t want to show up and get surprised that he was out of town or something, so I figured I better tell him that i was coming . He had been asking me for sometime to come and visit, come visit , and come to Arizona. My response was ok I’m going to come, or yeah after I get this done or after this over that. If I can remember from the first time I said I was coming, 2 years had passed and gone away. So the idea got dropped on me 2 weeks coming up to his birthday that I should go and visit. Mind you, I just bought a house, still buying furniture and still trying to replenish my monies from all the above. I think that was the main reason why I kept pushing it off because I wanted to have the ample money, I wanted to have ample PTO to take the time off and I really wanted to have it all planned out in a way that I knew I was good.

See that’s just the think with us over thinkers and creatives. We want the timing to be perfect and everything to be right. I begin to take inventory of my life and me and my dad’s relationship. He moved to AZ about 9 years ago and I had visited him 7 years ago. My dad turned 71 on last Friday and I’m 30 and honestly I don’t know how much time we have on this earth being on his side or my side.

So I took a leap of Faith and booked the flight Scared lol because I wanted it to be right and I wanted to be comfortable. Well let me tell you how comfortable I was. I only paid 11 bucks for the flight (taxes and fees) because I had enough Points to buy a round trip ticket πŸ™ŒπŸΎ and to top it off my mom called and told me that she wanted to give me some money for my trip πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ the Provision was totally made! All I needed was the leap of Faith of stepping out and saying I’m going to do this, not sure how it’s going to go down but I’m going to do it.

So here’s the lesson. Stop looking for the perfect moment and create one. Literally, create the moment and stop holding off until when you think is the perfect time. This is what God wants us to do. He wants us to walk by Faith and not by Sight. I could had easily put the trip off and said not right now, but until I said yeah, I’m going to do this, the provision was made for it to happen.

Stop looking for “Perfect Time”

Perfect: Having all the required or Desirable elements, qualities or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be

Time: The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future regarded as whole.

I want to encourage you to step out and go with it BLIND, God will bring the Provision and get you to the Finish Line.

Be Blessed
