Two Weeks In
Happy New Year everyone! I don’t know about anyone else, but
I’ve been feeling like something has been off. Now with us only being 2 weeks
into the New Year, the feeling that something is horribly off, has brought
ample discomfort to me. Perhaps I’ve been expecting to be further or maybe it’s
because I have not been purposefully moving. I am by no means comparing my walk
to anyone else’s so it’s not that. I believe it’s more of knowing bits and
pieces of Gods blueprint for my life, yet I haven’t been consistently doing my
work.
Writing is one of my outlets & I haven’t done much of it
lately. I write outside of this beautiful blog; I write in my journal, I write
prayers, I write my dreams, I write lyrics, and the list can go on. So even
though I may post a blog monthly, I still haven’t been consistent in other
areas & it has weighed me down. For this to resonate with you better, think
of your own purpose & passions. Now imagine that you weren’t able to do
them, not because of anyone’s doing but because of your own. “So just do it,” I’m
sure that’s what you’re mumbling; however if you are a person who can overthink
and worry it can become difficult to focus on your dreams. You must be thinking
that the difficulties should be used to push one further into pursing their passions,
but sometimes it doesn’t happen that way. The normal cares of life can overwhelm
us, but Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6: 25-34 that we don’t benefit from
worrying.
So while it’s easier to worry than it is to focus on your
goals, you have to be the one to push yourself to look beyond the current
situations. Know that it won’t always be this way, if you take each day and
take each necessary step. Not to mention, once you know who you are & your
assignment in Christ, it’s pretty difficult to ignore the calling; hence the
feeling that something has been off. For
days I’ve been going through my thoughts and asking God to guide me, wondering
how I would even see what He promised; especially since things were going in
the opposite direction. It wasn’t until I stopped trying to do it my way that
His revelation came. It wasn’t going to happen, the way I thought was logical,
it would come by me using this gift to write; just that simple. Most of the
times, God takes us back to the drawing board, so that we can see what He
already confirmed in us.
It’s not about our logic, it’s about His way! I can
guarantee, His way will open more avenues than my logic ever would. Of course,
you can do it your way, but be prepared to overwork.
