Is This Why I Am Here

I had the intention to start a new blog specifically for the Radical Change Challenge. But I decided to just use this blog for this challenge because this challenge is a part of going from VIctim To Victorious.

This post was initially posted on June 15, 2018

As I have mentioned before I had no specific reason to move to Charleston.  GOD put it on my heart so by faithful I took the leap.  I know that there is a reason I am in Charleston I just know it yet.

I am SUPER DUPER EXCITED to find out GOD’S Plan for me to be here.  I feel like I am waiting to find out if I won Miss America.  Like I am on pins and needles.  I am on the edge of my seat.

I have questions running through my head.

Will it be like peeling an onion Layer by layer?  Things being revealed a little at a time.

Or will it be like a firework where it is one big reveal and I will see all these smaller reveals at the same time?

I JUST DON’T KNOW!!!!  The impatient me wants to know now.  I want the cliff notes so I know how it will be revealed.  But I have to stop myself from that and remind myself that I was the one that wanted to do this Radical Change Challenge.  I prayed for GOD’S plan to be his and not mine.

So with all that I am surrendering my control and allowing GOD to be in control.  Even as hard as it is I need to Let GO and Let GOD.  Surrender and Submit.

I have expressed to some sisters about my passion for public speaking.  They have mentioned to me that there is a brother who does life coaching and motivational speaking.  So I figured I would just introduce myself and see if we could meet up at another time to talk.

Today at church I saw where he was seating so I decided that I would just go over to him after church.  Well, he had a line.  LOL, So I patiently waited and just fellowshipped with other people.

About an hour after the church service had ended he was still speaking to other people.  There was a pause in the conversation so I jokingly asked if I should grab a “ticket to be served” or just reschedule.  He said he would be about 10 more minutes if I wanted to wait.  I figured since I had waited that long 10 minutes was not a big deal.

He got done and walked over.  I introduced myself and explained to him my desire to share my life story as a motivational speaker.  I thought we would just schedule a meetup time.  But instead he started speaking and the conversation that followed BLEW ME AWAY.  He had me looking at things from a different perspective.  He had me thinking about questions that I had not thought about or even a different way of some questions.  I will post about the actual conversation maybe tomorrow.  It was AWESOME.

I left that conversation FIRED UP and ready to do the things he suggested.  I was so grateful to know that there was a life coach/motivational speaker in the Charleston Church.

At that moment I posed the question to myself

“Is this why I am here”

“Am I in Charleston so I could meet him”

“Was that it”

I am sure meeting that brother and having him helped me is part of the reason I am here.  I have the faith that MY GOD is BIGGER than just that 20-minute conversation.  MY GOD has a bigger plan for me.  And just that thought gives me chills and has me on the verge of tears.

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE GOD’S PLAN REVEAL.

Rather if be an onion or a firework I can’t wait.

To GOD Be The GLORY

Take Care.  Much Love.
