Wait, Don't Give Up...There's More to Your Story


Wait, Don't Give Up...There's More to Your Story
"Making my way to the Top"

In life, nobody gives you anything, though it sounds like a cliche' it's still a reality. However there is one thing in this world that come with sacrifices, commitment, trust and dedication....besides Salvation and that's "winning". I used to think that I was facing so many challenges but as I grow and continue to grow and my life continues to evolve right before my eyes, I learned they're not challenges but "opportunities". I say opportunities because when faced with the many situations and circumstances on a daily basis, how you view them, will aide in how you respond or react to them. A question for you? How do you view your opportunities?

In the last five years my life has been a series of opportunities for me used as a piece of the puzzle (my life story) that fits purposely as part of my destiny. Yes every situation and circumstance that I've had to face in my lifetime is all apart of the puzzle. {Will talk more on "Pieces of the Puzzles Series"} later.

Regardless of the puzzles pieces I've been blessed. Now, as I continue my journey of "be"-coming a body builder there's so much that goes on behind the scene that you don't see. Every week meal planning, making sure I have several days meals prepared in case my schedule is thrown a curve ball, weekly work schedule, which for happens to be working as a fitness instructor for seniors, personal training clients, still managing my personal projects and personal life, life coach, My Baking business and blogging project.

Then there the days and nights that present to me many opportunities for stress, anxiety, frustrations, doubt, fear, anger and depression. (All the things we were not designed to do. Also, all these things are strategic moves for me to lose faith, give up, give in, stop dreaming and no loner believe. Many times my mind attempted to wonder, how was I going to pay for all the many things on my plate. Especially since they were all moving at the same time.

You didn't see all the times the elevators (you call them haters), which masquerade around as friends, attempting to assassinate my character and sabotage my dreams. You didn't see all the people who smiled in my face and while trying to sabotage me behind my back and began to turn against me because this journey takes me down a different road. Which means that somethings I choose not to do or places I choose not to frequent. The beauty of it is "it's okay." I'm comfortable in my decision to walk this process "as a winner", even if I have to walk alone. However the beauty of it is, I do know the people who genuinely love and appreciate me who I am and my determination to do all I've been created to do, without justification.

You only see the fruit of a made up mind, a liberated yet obedient and relentless spirit.

My message to you is a simple one, don't "ever" quit. You're much stronger than you think.

It won't kill you, it will only make you wiser and stronger. But you've got to respect "the process". This is your season, seize the moment, take every day as "this is the day for my new beginning". Live it like "it's already done." What God started in you, with a will to believe, you can finish it. What God has blessed cannot be cursed - Know that He has blessed you. Selah...

Love you madly, most sincerely I do!
