In The Storms Of The Unknown
While I’m sure many of you have been in seasons where you have gone through the worst of times at work or in your profession. Everything all of a sudden seems dark, grim as everything suddenly changes. Either a new boss or co-worker comes on board and is trying to make your life a living hell. Either to get you fired or make you out to be a problem when your not. For what reason? No reason at all. Just because they don’t understand you, your peace or your joy in essence what makes you you - you embody something they don’t have and makes them angry when they can’t find it. This quest to find it is to ultimately make you lose control and therefore end up quitting or walking around with attitude. Don’t give them that. During this time, hold on, hold on to yourself and what you represent as a person. You cannot make anyone take you outside of you. Deal with and don’t try to ignore by staying prayerful. Remain professional and be mindful of your words and the responses you choose to make. The best of characters are built during this time, this time of the unknown. Trust God and know there has to be storms as he allows in order to take you to the next stage in life. Your gift is around the corner. Whatever or whoever you believe in just know God is watching your every move, how you respond and how you chose to handle it. There’s only one way of handling and that is the right way with grace. Past this test and come out on top. Remember you will make it through the storms of time as the other side is so bright and so right.

Solitude
Life has always been a journey in search of truth, I have always looked for the truth in just about everything I’ve experienced. Every emotion, every thought and every disappointment is used to figure out why? Why has this happened? What should I be focusing or paying attention to? Have you ever been to a new place in life and suddenly your whole lifestyle has changed? Found yourself in a new job or a new business venture and suddenly everyone around you, although physically there, you see no connection with. You’re now at a stage in life where any random foolish talking with just about anyone simply just won’t do and as a result see as a waste of time so you’d rather be alone? Don’t force it if it’s not there. Everything you do in life should matter, everything you share and say in life should matter or have some form of validity. Real talk is not only just a saying. I realized that through the struggle of finding out why, in those times of feeling isolated like your somewhere out there in the wilderness alone, use that time to sit meditate pray and ask God why as he is with you and therefore are not alone. Sometimes God places you in conditions like this to prepare you for what he has next for you. He is taking you to a new level in life, that next stage of what he has planned for you. Stay focused and see it all as POSITIVE, think positive. What seems to be an uncomfortable position, see as that next big surprise that’s just about to come your way. You should always try and see it as the best thing that is about to happen. It is always for the best and is not a mistake, look for him and the answer during this time. Trust that everything that is happening is not by coincidence. Although it’s a dark place, struggle through to see the light. There is always light in every darkness. Try and find it, you will grow through it. I’ve learned to just accept what is and wait for that light to shine through.
