His Will...His Way...Embrace It

I'll just go ahead and admit it...I have stubborn tendencies. I like things to be done a certain way and if I ask someone to do something and they either don't do it or don't do it correctly, then I'll just do it myself (and make a mental note not to ask them to help again!). Definitely not always a good trait to have.

Over the years I found myself negotiating with God....okay, if You do this, then I'll do this...or if You'll change this person, then I'll change this...well, that didn't really turn out to well. It took a series of events and Him doing some serious chastising and changing of my spirit to realize I needed to get a grip :)

My new life motto is "His Will...His Way...Embrace It".

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." With this in mind, my prayer is that He directs my path and my thoughts in a way to fulfill the plans He has set up for me. I'm asking for clarity so that I can follow the path He has set up for me. I'm asking for patience when I really, really, really, really want something and it's not my time or just isn't mine to have.

 

As I take this journey, there may be some people and things that I have to let go. I've come to terms with that because people are in our lives for a reason, season or a lifetime. I'm excited about the new friendships that I'll make and the old ones that may be taken to a different level. Overall, I'm excited about the change and renewal of ME.

 

Have a blessed day Divas and Embrace His Will...His Way!!!

Switching Gears

My life has been so unexpectedly unexpected lately that I've had to take some time to just sit back and evaluate where I am, where I want to be and how I want to get there. In the middle of all that I realized that I need to learn to give up and let go of some things...in other words, stop being so darn stubborn and hard headed :)

I'm about to turn 30 in two weeks and my life is no where close to where I expected it to be, but I've finally learned to accept it. In accepting it, I'm also making strides to change things around and complete many of the goals that I've set for myself. I've, also, relinquished control over it all to God. I'm embracing "His Will...His Way".

Over the next few weeks, I will be re-vamping this blog and the direction in which it's going. I will, also, attempt to put more effort into my other blog, Budgeting Divas. This has become one of my passions over the past few years and I want it to be a place where we can come together to help one another and learn from each other. I truly believe in the village concept. The knowledge I have is useless unless I put it to use and share it with someone else.

As for this blog, I will be focusing more on the PURPOSE behind us all. Over the next few weeks I will spotlighting different women in my life that I feel epitomize the "divatude" spirt of giving back, entrepreneurship, and sisterhood.

If you know of a diva that you believe should be spot-lighted, please reach out to me so I can contact them.

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend Divas!
