It’s been a while since I’ve written. Life, and all that comes with it, has gotten in the way; preventing me from doing what I love. As I sit here, on my way to, yet, another doctor’s appointment, rather than doing my regular live video on Facebook, I decided to write…do what brings me joy.
As I looked at the calendar, I saw that already, we’re in the third week of August. It’s been nearly thirty days since my homelessness began. Honestly, although uncomfortable, it hasn’t been too bad. What started out as something that seemed unbearable, has been another example of God’s saving grace. My move-in date was changed. Although I’m still a bit uneasy, I’m hopeful, blessed, and thankful, nonetheless.
I must say, that this transition has been eye opening. I have experienced great times this Summer, and have learned many lessons. I have forged new relationships and have closed the door on others. Through discernment, I see that even the relationships that have ended have been both blessings and lessons. I AM THANKFUL FOR IT ALL.
As I reflect on, not only the past month, but also, the past six years, God has taught me many lessons. The major lesson that I’ll always remember is: Just because it feels good in the moment, doesn’t mean it will bring joy. This lesson is what is going to propel me forward, and allow me to continue on the path to my purpose.
This joy that I have is deep, and has been life altering. My joy is God given, and no one can steal it. In the good times, bad times, and the times that I’m just “ok”, I still have joy. I am thankful, humbled and blessed. No matter what the enemy brings to cloud my judgement, disturb my peace, or steal my joy, I will do all I can to remember that “what feels good is fleeting, but pure joy, lasts forever.
