One year ago today, I decided to pack up my whole life in three suitcases and “start over.” I left what everyone else saw as “success” in pursuit of more… but this time, the right way and should I say, God’s way. He literally told me to trust Him wholeheartedly and just do this journey with Him. No one else on this walk but me and Him.
The mental and emotional back and forth I went through at times… hmm… at times it felt like He left me hanging on the walk HE told me to go on with Him alone! Like, hi hello did you forget about me? 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 But God has His ways of showing up in subtle ways to remind me that He never left! Time after time, He’s shown up when I was confused, when I was angry, when individuals were making it their life mission to frustrate me 🙃. Even when I’m happy, there’s that gentle tap of reassurance of, “I told you I got you.”
If you know me, you know I don’t play about my God, but this past year I grew 10x closer. Omo, I prayed like I never prayed before 🫨, and I’m thankful that one of the things I’ve been praying about which was this new battle with procrastination, He’s helped me with.
I’ve always been someone to dive headfirst into anything without any hesitation, like this move, for example. But for some reason, the new direction I wanted to take CookedbyB came with a lot of doubt, even though I know exactly what and how to do it. Obviously, certain things happened that played a part, but at this point, everyone will be alright last last 😂. It’s time to put my wants, feelings, and ideas first!
One thing I’m grateful for is that as tough as certain situations got, I never once thought to go back. I was never looking backward. My only option was moving forward!
Shoutout to the support I have around me, especially
@locka_love ! At this point, that’s not even my cousin, that’s my SISTER! To everyone else, I’ve been quiet, but Lord knows she heard it all 🤣. Through all the ups and downs, she’s been rocking heavy with me. When I’m being hard on myself, she reminds me how much I’ve been able to get done in just this one year. Love you, girl!
Cheers to year two and to what God has in store🥂
PSALM 46:5🙏🏾
