The past few weeks, no make that the past month, has been a little rough for me. I kinna felt like I hit rock bottom in my job hunt, my faith was knocked and my confidence seriously blown. But I heard the most uplifting message at church this Sunday, it was one of those where you leave, feeling lighter in load and knowing that you needed that. God sent that message to me, straight into my heart. Looking around me there is just so much going on, My Sweet Potato's husband got a new job, FASM got a job, and my girl Afrocen' got into the game too. I'm so proud of them all because I know how hard we've all been looking. I handed in my notice at work; I'm finishing in a week. And although I know people are worried for me and I know people trying to worry me I'm cool. In fact, I'm better than cool. I feel great; I feel excited. I feel like a testimony is on its way.
So much this past month, and the past has tried to rear its ugly head. But I passed that test. I realised two days ago that certain areas of my past hold no sway anymore. And boy did THAT feel good! But it also alerted me to something. I dunno if anyone else has this, but do you ever feel notice that bad things from your past, things (or people) that block or ruin you path always show up around the time of your greatest successes and breakthroughs? Looking around me, looking inside me, I feel like great things are coming and I'm not about to let anything block this. Devil get behind me. This is MY time. This is my moment...

As someone who has also handed in notice at work, i can identify with you. Twelve days more for me... I know greater things are on the way, for you and for me. Hurray!!!
Afrocentric - Thanx for your encouragement lil' sis! This is our year. trust me! Make sure you get your copy if today's message too, powerful stuff.
Lyrix - Better things are indeed on the way for us both. Just claim it!
This is what I truly believe; When there are things in our past or present that will taint our joy in the future, The One that we call on each day to lookout for us pulls the brakes so we can pause and catch our breath. The brakes stay on till we are clear of all that should be left behind.
When the brakes are released, watch out world!!!
Oh and the brakes do get released. Just gotta patiently wait.
