Hello Beautiful People! I pray that all is well. I’ve been busy doing quite a bit behind the scenes. No announcements need to be made just yet, just know that ya girl is werking!!!

I’m actually on Spring Break!!! Another year of receiving paid time off for a full week. It also brings my heart such joy to actually have plenty of time to write, create, publish, & share.

Here goes something…

So last year in November, I was at a conference in Indianapolis, IN. I was reflecting on how I once thought I needed to become a flight attendant to visit places that I’d never been before.

FYI: I submitted quite a few apps with Delta, but I never did well enough on the assessment to receive an interview.

The same conference that I attended last year in Indy is going to be in Anaheim, CA November 2019. I’m like Lord, place my name on the list. Pretty please…

Well, 2 weeks ago… I was presented with the opportunity to go to a conference in L.A.

I was so excited. I’ve never been to Cali before! So I go online to do more research, only to discover that the conference wasn’t going to benefit me professionally. The sessions/workshops being offered didn’t apply to my current role. I was disappointed. Everyone around me at work encouraged me to still go for the overall experience/trip.

My plane would’ve left on yesterday. I could be in California right now, but I’m actually in Birmingham. See, the curse in getting a glimpse of where God plans to take you next will cause you to jump at the first opportunity presented to you. Every opportunity that comes your way is not from God. The blessing comes from waiting on God to open up your next door of opportunity, not man.

I prayed about it and I just didn’t have peace about going. So I turned down the offer. God will get me to Cali soon!!! I believe that wholeheartedly.

I also had the opportunity to go on an alternative break trip in Ohio with the University. An alternative break trip is where college students will spend their break off from school serving with different non profit organizations.

I participated in college and spent my Spring Break in Atlanta working with different orgs to bring awareness to human trafficking.

Well, I’m not going there either. I had a meeting with one of the leaders and I don’t think I was who she was expecting to see. Maybe I was too excited! The meeting was slightly awkward.

I prayed about it. I just asked that God point me in a different direction, if it be his will.

And he did. I do have plans for Spring Break, but I’ll save that story for the next blog.

Inspirational Message: Only go if & when God says go. Regardless of the destination. Desire God’s plan, God’s way. Our way comes with more stumbling blocks.
