I am happy being me, but for some reason I feel like I'm trying to convince myself more than anyone else. I am happy with the person I am; however, I'm not quite happy with my position in life. Have you ever felt you weren't living the life you were meant to live? Have you ever felt like something was missing. That would describe where I am right now. Everything in me is saying, you're not where you're meant to be. God has something bigger and better in store for you. I guess the frustrating part is trying to figure it all out. I know it's not for me to figure out. I know when He's ready to move me to the next level, that He will. I just have one question. WHEN?!?! No, I'm not rushing God, at least I'm not trying to, but the human side of me is like a kid in a candy store or better yet a kid on Christmas Eve, full of excitement and anticipation. I can clearly see my new life. I have it all planned out. I'll write full-time and continue to be the fabulous wife and mother that I've always been :). For now, I am happy being me. I love the life I've been blessed to have, and I'm going to love my new life even more. TTFN!!!
Lorna, do you meditate? Meditation is not the same thing as prayer. I believe that you pray, but do you meditate?
ReplyDeletePrayer is you talking to God, telling Him all of your wants, desires, hopes, and wishes (they may not be selfish desires, you may be praying for the health of a loved one, etc). Meditation is when you get quiet and allow God to speak to you.
Many times, people will wonder 'when God is going to move'. What they don't realize is that God has already done what He needed to do. He created you just as you are, with all of the abilities that you need to be all that you can be.
God answers our every prayer each day when He allows you to wake up to face a new morning. It is not up to God to move in our lives, He waits for US to move in the direction that we wish to go.
Meditation is key. The other day I wrote that little affirmation on Facebook, and I really believe in it. You must meditate, and start off saying, "God, today I would like to realize all of my dreams for myself. Reveal to me one new way that I can get just one step closer to living my dream, and I promise to follow through on it." Then get still and quiet, and listen. LISTEN to God speak.
You will begin to think of creative ways that you can make money as a writer without having to clock in to a 9-5 job. God will reveal what you need to learn, who you should connect with. He knows the desires of your heart, and all you have to do is be willing to follow through.
I love you. :) We should have lunch one day and talk.
Nay
Hey Nay!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe meditation is the one area that I admit I fall short. This may sound crazy, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. My problem is allowing my thoughts to subside and God's voice to come through. I believe it takes practice and I really need to do it more.
I would love to meet you for lunch. Name the time and place and I'm so there :)
