What’s in your Rear view 2011 Edition
God is Truly and utterly amazing. 2011 was filled with a world wind of ups and downs. I thank God that there were more ups than downs. God saw fit to inspire me to write and complete two books and start another two. In 2011, I finally answered the call to ministry and began attending Luther Rice Seminary and University for Biblical Counseling. I started a blog and a YouTube channel. God really and truly is awesome. The year brought about the entry and exit of a lot of people, places and things. 2011 was a year filled with transition and change but God made provision for me to do it gracefully and with ease.
Moving forward I am insanely excited about how God is moving and what he plans to do for 2012. I feel that 2012 is going to be an amazing year of innumerable blessings and breakthrough, more importantly I pray that God moves me into a position where I can be a major blessing to the life of others. With that being said there are somethings that I will be choosing to take with me and some things I will be leaving behind…. Let the Rant begin :)
Leaving 2011
In 2012 I will not prioritize those who do not prioritize me, friends or otherwise. I will not invest love time and energy prioritizing people who see me as an option. Love and appreciation should not only be expressed through text messages and social media. Do you remember the art of having a conversation and getting to know someone… yea ummm hmmm try getting back to that!
Self worth is more than important. Believe that you are worth the time of day. Believe what the word of God has to say about you. Surround yourself with light and truth. Surround yourself with people who are like minded and want to see you succeed If it is not building you up it is tearing you down.
That leads me to my next point….
In 2012 I will not give place to the enemy his workers of iniquity and any other such Tom foolery PERIOD!!
Haters, nay Sayers and fake people are REAL and they are everywhere. BEWARE!! Don’t be so quick to entertain catty gossip and foolishness, b/c surely you will become the source of it. Recognize who is for you and who is not and do not be sad when people fall away. God is in control. God sees the bigger picture and obviously these people are not a part of that plan. Recognize the difference between constructive criticism and destructive cynicism. You were created on purpose for a greater purpose and plan. Get to work on what it is that you know you were called to do. Immerse yourself with the word of God and all things positive and mute the world go full throttle toward your destiny!!!
Going into 2012….
Going into 2012 I will take with me all things positive believing in my greater purpose on this earth. I will seek to enhance the quality of the lives of others in my span. I will create and and use my talents to please the Lord and not just myself. I will remain teachable in a state of constant learning and trusting in God to open a myriad of windows and opportunities. I will seek to be patient, kind and understanding . Most importantly I will believe the report of the Lord as it pertains to me and fall deaf to any and everything else. No time for negativity family, friend, foe or otherwise. No time for complacency, procrastination is the tomb where opportunity is buried. No time for Christianity as a culture and religion but a concerted effort to the death to strive for holiness and an authentic relationship with my Lord and savior Jesus the Christ! What else is there? So I ask you... What’s in your rear view?
