Never Say Never...


Apparently, I’m learning the hard way to stop saying out loud, “what I’m not going to do…” I recall many times over the years that I’ve watched relatives, friends and colleagues have children at a late age, go back to school to change careers, or trying new ways of dating and meeting people. In every instance, if I didn’t say it out loud to them, I often said to myself, thank the Lord that’s not me. I could never…


Well, here I am just a few days after my 50th birthday, in a new state, away from everything I knew, single with a dog, having just completed two months of classes and studying to get my real estate broker license to “change careers”. (Sidebar: Me & Math outside of counting my money haven’t been great friends so this has NOT been easy.) Also, earlier in the summer I completed 8 weeks of training to become a Guardian Ad Litem with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Courts, which I didn’t even know was a thing until God spoke it into my spirit just a few days prior. I knew nothing about blogging before I had to start this one. I don’t even read other people’s blogs. Now dare I say out loud… I am planning to run for a seat on the CMS School Board soon. So, what am I doing? FREAKING EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I’D DO and a whole lot that I’ve never even had the desire to do, but GOD!


Have you ever heard that saying, “Want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans…” I am literally the posterchild for a complete course correction these days. So, I’ve learned to surrender and stop making big plans for myself but instead become courageous enough to not need to know all the details yet disciplined enough to go wherever God leads me.


On New Year’s Eve, I watched a message from Pastor YPJ with his prophetic word for 2022. What he spoke gave me clarity about what I’ve experienced in the past two years, but I was very encouraged by all that was spoken about what’s to come in 2022 for those who have proven themselves to be faithful and pliable in this past season. “Those who submit and say YES to God will RISE & PROSPER and it’s going to happen fast!” AMEN!


That really resonated with my spirit because everything that I’ve been doing is NOTHING that I could have come up with on my own and I feel like I’ve been in this vortex of accelerated growth and preparation without knowing what it’s all for.


I also learned this week that 50 is the number of Jubilee, meaning the season of celebration and freedom from enslavement. Honestly, I could sit here and speculate what I think it all means for me specifically, however I’m just going to say watch and see what God is doing in me and what He’s about to do for me and through me over the next several months, starting with acing my real estate exam next week! 😊


Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him who can do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you could ask think or imagine according to His power that is at work within you.


That is all… Happy New Year!


Until next time…
