I Can’t Stay Here

What up y’all! How has this last quarter been treating y’all? It has been different for me. I don’t know that I have the language for it yet but I’m sure that as I continue to blog it will come to me. So, my ninth 27^th birthday was this pass Monday (Judge your mother Lol) and I have spent this past week reflecting on my life and the things that I want to do differently. There are several things, but the main thing is not settling for safe anymore. Being safe or comfortable in my decisions and choices has cost me. It has caused me to stay in a place that I can no longer be in! I have outgrown this space. Have you ever been there? In a space in your life where you know that GOD has more for you, but YOU have to do the work. You have to be the one to step into it. It requires this new level of focus and discipline. It requires a level of consistency that I don’t know that I have ever tapped into but I’m ready to tap into it now. It requires me to be brave despite all my fears. It requires me to focus solely on God’s voice because the opinions of others have kept me stagnant for far too long. It requires a new level of prayer and intimacy with God because I need His direction and I must trust and know His voice. It requires me to forsake what I know as reason and WALK BLINDLY in faith. It’s radical adjustments. It’s acute focus. It’s STANDING and BEING without apology. 

That is what this week of reflection has brought me. I can’t be here next year. I EXPECT to be in a different place, and I am in an unapologetic pursuit of GOD and His Destiny for my life. So, take this journey with me. Over the next 100 days we are going to see how persistence and faith unlocks somethings that God has been ready to drop in my life. 

Until Next Time
