Good Morning Friends!
It has been quite
some time since I have written
Hard to believe that it is the last day of March 2019
And just like that – one-fourth of this year is gone …
It is a good time
to reflect on goals that have been set for the year
It is a great time to check our progress in moving toward
the things God has for us
Personally, I am in the middle of self-development
project
It is one aimed at forcing myself out of my comfort zone
As an introvert,
it is very difficult for me to socialize with people
Therefore, I have been taking deliberate and intentional
steps to overcome this area
In daily interactions and on social media, I am pushing
myself ...
To engage more with others and be more interactive
But I faced a
significant setback this week –
Even as I have taken steps to be more social and engaging
Someone came up behind me at work and struck my chair
really hard
Now, this might not be a big deal to most people
However, given the climate and my history – it had a
significant impact on me
I had a full-fledged anxiety attack – hands trembling and
an endless flow of tears
I was so
disappointed – in my reaction
Understand, I did nothing wrong.
The wrong was on the part of the individual who struck my
chair.
Yet – I was disappointed because it felt like I took
three steps backwards
Immediately, I could feel the walls going back up
But then I had to
remind myself of my goals and of all the progress I have made
Therefore I have
decided – I will not let Friday’s incident veer me off course
I will continue to march forward – unmoved by the enemy’s
attempt to derail me
There is more of this year out ahead of me than what has
passed
Perhaps you have
faced some challenges with goals you have set for yourself this year
There is more of this year out ahead of you than what has
passed
And so I offer
this reminder –
No matter what may happen, no matter what ‘they say’, no
matter what you tell yourself
Remember, at all points, and despite any challenges this
year
You are –
Perfectly Purposed
‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
before you were born I set you apart’
Jeremiah 1:5
Timelessly Treasured
‘I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness’
Jeremiah 31:3
Sovereignly Selected
‘You are my servant; I have chosen you and
have not rejected you.’
Isaiah 41:9
Divinely Defended
'Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be
dismayed for I am your God; I will defend you.’
Isaiah 41:10
‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’
Isaiah 54:17
There is more of
this year out ahead of us than what has fallen in the rear-view window
Keep marching
forward!
Praying You Have a Blessed Day
Wishing You Much Love …
