The past couple of weeks have been pretty trying over here in Will-ville. I've been battling what I call the "Are We There Yet" syndrome. You know...that feeling you get when you're working toward something, but feel like there is no end in sight- the finish line getting farther and farther away, rather than closer...so you slow down and eventually stop? Yeah, that's where I've been for the last two-plus weeks. Doing some work, getting impatient, throwing ...
This has been a great week! The past few weeks, really, have been well above average. For the first time in a long time, I feel emphatically content and happy with the life that I am leading and the direction in which I'm heading. I've got my job, my health, my friends and family; and there are little pieces of promise and opportunity fluttering all around me that I'm eagerly collecting and placing in my "to-do" bag of purpose and legacy.
Within all ...
Have you ever had one of those awesomely great and productive weeks that led you to raise your head to the heavens as ask, "God, what are you up to?" Yah...I'm all up in that space this week. I'm certain that God is right at work in me and my life; and He's about to show up and SHOW OUT!
It all started last Tuesday. I went to my weekly prayer meeting, Touch and Agree, in a rather solemn mood. I felt as though my life was at a stand-still. Sure, there ...
When I woke up this morning, I had no idea how I was going to celebrate Thanksgiving. I had 4 open invitations to dinner, but I was indecisive about where I actually wanted to go. I sat on my couch watching the parade wondering if that was all I'd end up doing today. Then I took a shower and my day suddenly came alive. While lathering up- gettin' so fresh and clean- something inside me said, "Wait...don't you love to cook? Isn't this one of your favorite ...
Usually on Tuesday nights you can find me at a Starbucks somewhere in Midtown attending Touch and Agree- my weekly prayer meeting. However, after an unsettling discussion at the meeting two weeks ago, I've decided to take a little break.
The topic that arose that week revolved around who, in the end, will gain entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. One of the members of the group was explaining a book she was reading in which the author references the ...
You gotta start somewhere. I've been meaning to dive into Bible study for a few weeks now, but have just felt so overwhelmed. Where do I begin? What do I read? How do I internalize it? Will it really help? These are just a few of the questions that I have been battling with when it comes to spending time with You and reading your word. To be honest, I know and believe that You can help me- but at the same time, I don't feel it. Does that make sense? ...
Last week a new friend of mine invited me to check out an inspirational support group he participates in called "Touch and Agree." He didn't say much about the group outside of how they meet on Tuesdays and how he always leaves feeling uplifted and inspired; but being familiar with the meaning behind the title, I knew it had something to do with spirituality. Recently my prayers have been centered around finding direction within my own life, meeting new ...
