I’m not a big fan of titles. I respect authority, but I’ve just never been one to throw around my title on any level. Somebody asked me on last Sunday what is my title at work? I honestly had to think about it. It just doesn’t mean that much to me, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not grateful for where God has positioned me.

I recognize that I was promoted last season with purpose. Purpose to carry out my next assignment from God. My title for anyone wondering is “Coordinator”.

Initially, I was like coordinator of what?

So to make sense of it to people, I added Program to the front of it in my email signature. My boss pulled me to the side one day, and said “Brittany, your title is just Coordinator. You can take off Program. That particular title is a pay grade beneath yours.”

Well alrighty then, thank you ma’am for sharing. lol

So now it just reads Coordinator. According to dictionary, the definition of coordinator means:

a person who organizes people or groups so that they work together efficiently.

Merriam-Webster

Wow!

So I’m basically a full time organizer.

If you’d like to hire me to assist you in your organizing efforts, email me to discuss business.

Just kidding!

Or am I?

No, but seriously. I love when God does this. He created a role for me to do something that I’m passionate about. Something that I’ve been doing part time for quite some time.

Helping People Accomplish A Goal!

That was the initial concept of this blog. Help inspire people to keep going. Keep going to pursue what it was that they wanted out of life. And to not stop until they had completed the task before them. I was writing to encourage myself and others to not give in when your circumstances tell you to, when people don’t understand your why, or when your account screams “You’re Already In The Negative”, etc.

Just keep going, regardless.

And it blows my mind that the blog started in 2014. Time flies when you’re having fun.

Except when life starts happening to me and it takes the fun out of writing with the intent to inspire. In order for me to write inspirational post, I have to be inspired. I used to write regardless of how I felt. Then I stopped because I recognized how unhealthy that was for me mentally. So if there’s nothing to write, I don’t create a storyline. If there’s a need for me to take a break, I take a break. And somedays, I see how much more beneficial it is for me to just pour a cup of inspiration for myself.

I’ve always come back stronger when I take a sip or two or three for me.

I literally told God that I will always be a writer of purpose, but if he gave me permission to stop today. I’d shut down all things @bnicoleinspiringsouls…

I would just continue to write in my spare time. I promised to keep inspiring people when given the opportunity. I just let God know that the blog was growing to a new level. This new level had a higher expectancy level for me. This new level was challenging me to create the time to be a creator. This new level was requiring me to engage more with my readers. This new level was requiring me to see that the blog was actually reaching who God intended for it to reach. This new level was becoming too much for me. This new level…

I wish I was a full time blogger. But I’m not. It’s so hard trying to run a blog successfully and work a 9-5. Ha! Those aren’t even the hours that I work, but it sounded good, right?

Somedays I go in early, most days I leave late. And when I get home. I’m trying to rest up for tomorrow. It’s an interesting place to be in, but it’s also exhausting at times. I went before the Lord with boldness and asked for his permission to quit this portion of my life temporarily…

And you want to know what he gave me in return?

Instructions…

I was looking for a simple yes or no, that’s it fam.

He said, “DIG DEEPER”.

Now, I’m no gardener. Or at least I didn’t think I was.

But it sounds to me like that is just going to require more work from me.

And as usual, I know that God will provide me with all of the tools that I need to blossom where my feet are planted.

So in this season, I’m learning how to be a gardener of inspiration, a gardener of truth, a gardener of wisdom, & a gardener of grace.

In the garden is where I’ll be, digging deeper…

Until God says otherwise.

I hope & pray that you, my friend will do the same.

Dig deeper. Don’t grow weary. The proper time will come. You shall reap a harvest. Giving up isn’t an option for you or me.

Be not distracted by what you see growing, you’ve been placed there to grow too.

I’m signing off to go dig some more…
