Woke up feeling amazed at how God is always working around you and through you, even when you don’t visually see what direction it’s coming from. Earlier in the week, I was just questioning every aspect of my life. I was becoming frustrated at the simple fact that I couldn’t make sense out of any of it. In my talk with God, I needed confirmation that I’m where I’m supposed to be and not just where I want to be. I even questioned if I was fulfilling the purpose set for me by God. Can I just express that God saw fit to send me a reminder and that I received confirmation at the perfect time.

Earlier in the week, a young lady who attends my alma mater reached out to me on Facebook expressing that she needed a favor from me. I’m always willing to help whoever I can, when I can because so many people helped me along the way. So I shared my contact info with her, and told her that I couldn’t make it back home until maybe next month, but she could email, text, call, FaceTime me at anytime and I would attempt to help her as much as I could. Now at this point I have no idea, what she’s in need of. So I received an email from her with the subject being: My Struggle, Stating how she just didn’t know what to do next in life with graduation approaching in December. I immediately stopped what I was doing and I broke down to her that I know first hand what the struggle is really like when your approaching such a major accomplishment in life. I discussed how I pushed back graduation for what I confused to be love, didn’t attempt to apply for any jobs because I just wasn’t ready to leave my home, my comfort zone, my familiar setting. I started to express to her that it took a break up for me to get back on track and start focusing on goals that I had put on the back burner. The moment that I felt broken down and ashamed that I was willing to risk everything over the idea of being in love pushed me to do better. So I started applying for jobs like crazy because I was more than ready to remove myself from a setting that had brought me to a level of being complacent. I wanted to convey to her that my struggle was a blessing in disguise because it has brought me closer to God, and proved to me what Faith in God can do for you: personally, mentally, and spiritually. I ended by telling her that she should “Ask yourself what am I passionate about doing long term?, God’s plan for you is bigger than you can imagine… He has so many opportunities awaiting for you, but they won’t be revealed until the time is right. No need to question the abilities that God has blessed you with, my friend. So try not to stress about it, because when I tell you it’s all going to work out in the end, I’m not LION. (lol, our school mascot)”

Now you’re probably wondering what’s the significance in me writing about this? Little does that young lady know, she brought out the answers that I was seeking that had me frustrated and in such a rut. For whatever reason, this person felt as if though I could help resolve her questioning her future. That just goes to show that you never know who may be observing your life, make it worth watching!!!

God, I thank you for my struggles as much as I do for my blessings. Help me to remain humble and to never become selfish with my success. I’m solely dependent on you and pray that in all that I do, it is pleasing to you. I would normally end this by saying be blessed, but this time I want to encourage you to Be a Blessing to someone else when granted the opportunity because it just may help you more than it helped the individual.
