Grace 4 Her

Have you ever been on a plane a heard the flight attendant say, "Put your mask on first, before trying to help others?" Well, that concept should also be applied to everyday life, but it's not. Well, at least not in my world, but that's going to change. 

I'm grateful for a husband who wants to be my Knight and Shining Armor, but there are times I need him to let me be! Can anyone relate? Sharing my thoughts and business, lol, on today's episode.

What's that saying, "A hard head makes for a soft behind?" Well, my stubbornness has made a bed that I now have to get comfortable in. Just another hard lesson to learn, smh. 

Things have been busy, but we're grateful for it all! Some were even reminders of desires from long ago. So, if you want to know what's been going on, then check out today's episode. 

What did I learn from 75 Hard? Did I complete all 75 days? Will I do it again? Well, you're going to have to check out today's episode to find out, lol. But for real, I learned a lot from the challenge that and I have incorporated into my lifestyle, and I want to share it with you!

I've learned it is time for me to let go of who I (as well as others) thought I was supposed to be, and embrace who I am (right where I am). I was made to be different, and I need to stop being insecure about being a peculiar person and just be my authentic self. But it takes practice, so as I celebrate another year around the sun, I vow to practice authenticity daily. 

As believers, we know the Word tells us too, "Count it all joy. . . Rejoice in the Lord. . .  and Be anxious for nothing." But what about when we don't feel the joy too rejoice and our anxiety is on the rise? Does that mean we are any less of a believer? Of course not, but the way some believers are set up, they will have us thinking that we aren't. 

Failure is something a lot of people (me included) fear because of our perspective. However, failure should be chased and embraced because it's actually a gift of growth and development. Failure helps us to become who we are supposed to be, rather than who we (or other people) thought we should be. Failure is also an opportunity to inspire others, by giving them hope to keep moving forward. 

There's even a saying, "You're either in a storm, coming out of a storm, or about to head into one." So pretty much, we all go through it from time to time. Which is exactly why we should reach out to our village when we're feeling overwhelmed by the storm, but we usually don't, and that can lead to poor decision making. So, I'm here to remind you not to do life alone.

Ever heard, "Be careful what you pray for?" Lol, I'm sure you have! Because prayers aren't always answered the way we might expect. Which may also cause us not to be prepared when it happens. So, do we miss out on the promise? No, maybe just delayed.
