Well today would have been my 35th wedding anniversary and is always a day of reflection for me but this year it’s different. Dec 24, 1982 was the day that God began a season in my life that would lead me to who I am today, Dec 24, 2017. You see, my divorce (June 2013) has taught me that people may come into your life but not all are not meant to stay in your life. People come into your life for a Reason, a Season, a Lifetime or all three & my ‘Wasband’ (was my husband) was all 3.

Reason ~ To guide me into a spiritual relationship with and a firm foundation in God through Jesus Christ that would carrie me through any situation. To teach me unconditional love, unwavering faith & genuine forgiveness. I learned that life is uncertain, full of ups & downs but God in consistent.

The Season ~ the winter of 1979 until the winter of 2012!

Lifetime ~ Through our children & grandchildren we will forever be connected. It is my sincere prayer that one day will be able to be in the presence of one another as co-grand-parents.

So on today Dec 24, 2017 I have no anger, no tears, no regrets…..nothing but Gratitude & Appreciation because I realize that God is in control. The scripture Romans 8:28 has come to life in my life “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” and All Things have worked together for My Good.

I am truly Thankful for those 30+ years….for It was through that season (my marriage) God Poured the BEST INTO ME….and the last 5 years (my divorce) God has Brought the BEST OUT OF ME and as for my future……THE BEST IS YET TO COME so In all things, I Give Thanks!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I remember hearing a sermon a long time ago where the preacher was talking about “Getting In Position”. He was talking about how a coach makes a play book for his team. The coach will give all of the players instructions concerning each play. Some of the plays can be played several different ways and sometimes the player doesn’t know exactly how it will play out but all the players have to make sure they are in position. That’s how I feel in my life is right now. I don’t know exactly what God is doing but I feel a sense of urgency to get things done……understanding that I must get and STAY in position so when God says Move, I won’t be getting ready I will BE READY!!!!!

Have you ever gone to a place and when you arrived you knew beyond all doubt that you were meant to be there?  You didn’t really know what to expect but you knew something wonderful was about to take place and afterwards your life would never be the same. That’s was what happened to me when I arrived in Omaha Nebraska on Nov 2, 2017 for the Heart2Heart Women’s Ministry “I Am Her” Conference. Normally when I arrive at Eppley Airfield I’m immediately overcome  with a flood of emotions that only intensifies as I take that long walk from the plane, down the escalator to the baggage claim area but this time it was different. As the plane landed I felt a sense of excitement, I had a spirit of expectation that something wonderful was going to happen.

That was 4 weeks ago and my life has been going 100 miles per hour since I arrived back in Tampa. I now know that that conference was the launching pad to my ‘next chapter’. God has opened so many doors of opportunity for me and everything he has promised me is through those doors, however it’s up to me to ‘go get it’ and that is exactly what I’m doing. I’m literally flying blind following God’s guidance as he is preparing  the way. I am embarking in new and uncharted territory…launching a new ‘official’ business, branching out on the social media platform,  I have a solicited a “writing partner” to assist me in completing my book (the prologue and outline are done). I know that God has something Great in store for me and he is getting in position to receive. I’m on the runway ready to take off in whatever direction God is sending me and The Sky Is The Limit!!!!!
