Right Where You Belong

Choose to Be, Right Where You Belong
The thing about life is that you are always trying to find the place where you feel most comfortable and fit in. However, the place of comfort is basically a state of being because nothing is always what it seems. What I mean is this, there would always be some obstacles or difficulties that you would face where ever you exist. Perhaps, you're feeling frustrated on your job, or in your marriage or with school but those frustrations will have its place in your life to build you, shape you and define you.

We sometimes think that we got to get out of something or move from a place because of all the signs which shows that it is not working and everything you are doing seems to be failing.  I know that feeling, oh so well where I just couldn't take it any longer because of some opposition that I was facing or difficulty that I found myself into, but the thing is everyone of those difficulties or obstacles challenged me, strengthened me and made me into the person I am today.

Think about Joseph, he was thrown into a pit by his brothers, eventually sold as a slave in Potiphar's house, ran into some problems there and was thrown into prison. I am sure Joseph wished that he could get out of the mess he was in but after the stretching , breaking, the molding, the filling, God eventually moved Joseph from the Pit to the Palace.

Recently, I was dealing with a few obstacles where I felt that I did not want to deal with this any longer. I was so ready to walk away and give up and move on. However, someone reminded me that on my way to my Greater, attacks, opposition and difficulties will arise to push me back to a familiar place and stop my progress on the road to success. There is always a new devil for every level we reach in life but it is up to us, to push our way through with our weapons of Prayer, Praise and Worship. The enemy does not want us to reach our place of destiny and he will do all that he can to discourage us and to push us back to a familiar, sad and defeated place... but don't give place to the devil...push him back!

The place where you are right now may be one of those hard places where all you see is darkness, doom, gloom and failure. You may be in a place where you see no progress and face opposition on every side. If you don't see a clear way out, know this You are right where you belong.

If the doors have not swung open for you, it simply means there is still something God may have for you to do right where you are. Don't allow the obstacles to push you out before your time. Don't despise your process of stretching, molding and filling...I believe God is up to something in your life. When it is all over, you will move into your destiny...up where you belong!

An Open Letter to My Only Son...

Shared this post on my Facebook page and thought I'd just share with readers on my blog. Mother's Day has a way of causing people to reflect on life as we know it, the best thing about that day was to sit down and penned these words to my son. An Open Letter to My Son To My Only Son... I thought deep and hard about writing this letter on Mother's Day when it is a day where we celebrate all that is good about mothers.Truth is, son Mothers are not perfect, although we often pretend we are. Having you 18 years ago, I was not prepared for it at all. You came into this world without even a wince or cry, you stayed silent until I took you home and then you discovered your lungs, you let loosed on me and everything in your path, enormous shrilling sounds of a baby wanting attention. Dear Son... I learned as I went along, trying to figure out how a young mother at 21 could navigate her path with a baby in tow. I prayed for you long before you burst onto the s...

A Soft Place to Land

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a blow from someone you love. It’s not the silence of peace; it’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a heart trying to process why the hands meant to hold it are the very ones trying to break it.    I write today because I need to breathe. I write because, if I don't, the weight of these burdens might just pull me under. The Pain of the Hidden Truth We’ve all been there. You look at the person you admire most, the one you’ve cheered for in every season, and you realize they are using their words not to build you up, but to cut you down. It is a staggering irony: those we honor often choose to meet us with dishonor. I’ve spent so many nights wondering why the people closest to us become our greatest battlefields instead of our safe harbors. We talk about faith, we speak of grace, and we acknowledge that none of us are perfect—but shouldn't time count for something? I hoped for maturity. I hoped they would see the "evol...

Love Your Own Way!

We all have an idea about what we want out of life! We may have plans specifically tailored for us, bit by bit, inch by inch, profile by profile. Our plans act as a guide or our mandate for what we want out of life and then life happens. We often settle because we conclude nothing and no one is perfect. Now although that is true, when it comes to love and life, my only recommendation is love your own way and hopefully you would find the right person loving you right back in their own way. Despite, what people may say or the rules on love and relationships, stick to your truth and love your way, wholly, purely, completely and as one of my favorite love songs says...Truly, Madly, Deeply!
