I found a prayer in Habakkuk 2:3 this morning...
Lord, for the things You have shown me that have not happened yet, teach me how to wait without losing heart. When the vision takes longer than I expected, keep me from assuming You have forgotten me. When I cannot see movement, keep me from creating movement out of panic. Give me the discernment to know the difference between a promise that needs my obedience and a promise that simply needs my patience.
When everyone around me seems to be moving ahead and my own life feels suspended, keep me from measuring Your faithfulness by somebody else’s timeline. Let me remember that something can be taking longer without being denied. And when I am tempted to walk away because I have waited longer than I thought I would, remind me that “though it linger, wait for it.” Lord, teach me to wait without turning the waiting into evidence that You are not working.
So the worst thing you can do is turn your back and run. Also try your best not to fall.
Use your arms in front of you to block/deflect
Be very loud in an attempt to attract attention and possibly startle the dog into hesitating
Always protect your head and face
My take away was live your life with no regrets. When you die you’ll be a footnote or an email at work.
Never give up your health for work. I’ve spoken to a lot of dying people, none have told me they wished they only worked more.
Enjoy every sunset and rainy day.
Not everyone grows
Some people just grow older, time passing them by
No growth, no expansion, no maturity, no transformation, no development, no blossoming, not even mellowing, empathy or grace
There are 235 days left in this year for growth. Don’t let time pass us by 🫶🏾
If you don’t go after what you want, U will never have it.Opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor. Never give up on what matters the most to you.Keep fighting for what you want.Dnt think of the things u did not get after praying.Think unlimited blessings
And when you pray tonight..pray for a friend in prayer. Friendship is truly a beautiful concept that one should never take for granted. When you have no praying spirit and lack strength, your friend in prayer will intercede on your behalf. Now that’s the highest form of love.
One of the healthiest habits to learn: Take nothing personal. Most of the time it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. Just observe instead of getting caught up and overreacting emotionally. You have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself.
My mother told me “ just because you’re in a position to help doesn’t always mean that you should” discernment. Because people will use you until they can’t anymore and turn around and say they never asked you to do it.
It’s still chapter 1 of 12 in 2024
Be kinder this year
Be intentional with your vibe
Curate your space
Be selective with who and what you respond to
Guard your time jealously
Most things really aren’t worth your energy
Slow. Down.
Breathe.
Maybe you need to drop some things. I dunno. Think about it. The bag a rushing and pressure day in day out fi wah? For what? Why? Is this any quality of life?
