Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

Well, January is almost over and the new year is off to a fast start. The cold weather is here, which is great! I love the cold, but don't want to be stranded in it. I love the cozy fireplaces, the comfort food, warm scarves, and a nice sweater. A few of my favorite things, but enough about me.

Let's Chat!

So, what's been going on in your world? I pray that all is well, and you are settling into the new season in a good way. A year ago, I wrote about having "Left Overs" from the previous year. We always have left overs. It's all the things! Our needs, wants and dreams that we planned to do but for some reason we didn't. Life can be tough, and going through it alone isn't good for anyone. We need each other. That's why I started this blog, hoping to reach others out there in the world praying to make a difference. I think we can get through it better together. All of us are going through something, all of us. I personally feel like I'm at a crossroad. I need to make a decision about my life concerning which way my career/job is going and what God is calling me to do. It's not a hard choice, it's the thought of letting go of worldly security and replacing it with Godly purpose. Daily needs and expenses - meet purpose. I know that we should trust God with our lives and that includes every day life. It's not easy, and I'm being totally transparent right now. I'm struggling in this area because I've always worked a regular job, get my paycheck and pay bills. This phase in my life is different. I'm more about my purpose and my passion. I hate seeing people hurt and I have this strong desire to make a difference, but at what cost? I think it's causing me to question my trust in God. Not whether I should or not, but more about do I really trust Him? Like, lean all the way in and connect on a totally different level in my walk with Jesus. It's like turning my back on the world's way of making ends meet and trusting God whole heartedly. I mean, I'm all in and there's no looking back. Walking in my purpose means working for God and myself to pay for my lifestyle - to pay my expenses. In the past, I never ever thought about working for myself or stepping out to do anything like this. That's why it's scary, but at the same time I'm not happy doing anythng else. I mean there's no joy in it. That's how I know I'm going in the right direction when it comes to this cross road. What and how do I do it? It just blows my mind, and that's where the trust comes in. Either I trust Jesus or not. It's really hard for me, but at the end of the day I'd rather put my trust in God than in the world. Whoa! I think I just made my decision! I feel that peace, like I just did a spiritual exhale. I guess I had to talk it out. Thanks for taking the time to listen, this really just helped me. Letting it out by talking it out. Now, I just need to pray about the logistics of it all. Like where do I go from here? How do I start? I'll keep you posted. I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going!

I hope sharing my heart with you today helped in some way. Maybe you're at a crossroad in your life and have to make a life changing decision. Take your time and talk it out even within yourself. You don't want to make these types of decisions without putting thought into it. It's life changing and should not be taken lightly. Remember, every decision you make you'll see it again. Whether it's immediately, or later on down the line of life. Make a decision of quality - weigh out your options, talk to someone you really trust and that cares about you - and definitely seek God about it. He's the one who created you out of love, and knows you better than you know yourself. He'll lead you in the right direction. Let's jump into this new phase of life together.

Heavenly Father, if anyone reading this is at a crossroad in their lives, please make it clear on what they're supposed to do. As we carefully seek You for clarity, we trust that Your plan prevails and we place our hearts in Your hands. In Jesus Name, Amen! 🙏🏾

Until next time,

Jae ❤️
