Life's Good
Oh Chile it’s been a minute since we kicked it on this platform. Life has been happening and I am learning to accept the good, the bad and the ugly and allowing them to work for the good in my life. Grab you a glass of wine and let’s chat a bit. One of my mom’s favorite scriptures was Romans 8:28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according to His purpose” I heard that scripture so much it became one of my favorites. Not only in word though. As much as I heard it, I spoke it and eventually I started to live it. See the power the word has! I said all that to say 2020 has been a whirlwind huh. Good moments, horrific moments, along with some not too cute ones, but in the words of Future “Life is good.”
I admit all 2019 I boldly claimed 2020 to be my year. 2020 proved that was a lie, haha! Nah seriously if I think back to that scripture where it says ALL THINGS are working together for my good, that sums up my 2020 in a nutshell. See all this crazy, ugly, good stuff that has being taken place is working. working together for my good. The true essence of not what happens, but my reaction to what happens. So, I’ve decided to let it all work out. Let’s start with COVID. Can we all agree that COVID came and reared it’s ugly face and caused the world to turn upside down.. Everything was completely shut down and after awhile shut down became my new norm. All of a sudden life wasn’t so fast paced. No practice, no school work, no work work, no this and that. Then boom life as we knew it started slowly reappearing and now I’m all off track. I’m back at work surrounded by people who don’t share my last name. I have mommy duties inside and outside of my household. I have wifely duties. My writing has become nonexistent. Oh! And remember that surgery I had last year for my Carpal Tunnel? A complete waste of time and money. I feel defeated. I’m drained. My last month’s sales were $0. It’s like one thing on top of another and everything that could go wrong is. It’s hard trying to adjust to an old norm in a new norm. Exhausting you hear me, but when I sit back and really think I remember…EVERYTHING is working for my good. So fill me up Lord cause I know this set up gotta have some blessings coming my way!
Sometimes I feel like a derailed train. I’m heading to the desired destination, but suddenly I am not just thrown off course, but off track. My wheels are turning yet no further progress is made. That’s how life feels for me right now. I’m doing the best I can with what i got though. Writing had been added to that list of things that I just couldn’t get to. So, to those who come here for their weekly motivation, encouragement or just plain ole entertainment, I apologize. It feels so good to sit here and type it out to you! I miss this, I miss you having a place to come to for your reading and encouraging needs. I’m slowly getting back to it and I hope that you can understand. Life has been working, but I’m glad that it’s all for my good. Until we meet again I’ll leave you with this... Change what you can, accept what you can’t, it’s all working for good in your life. Just like me, YOU GOT THIS!
