In The Stretch Zone

I’ve been laid off from my job now for almost 3 months. And as I look back, I’m thankful, because I do not believe that I would have been moving forward on my purpose with FOCUS (giving it ?) had it not been for God’s nudge to close the door on the OLD chapter of my life. It has been challenging because I of course had to make some adjustments to the decrease in my finances. BUT I believe God (and yes I still tithe because I will not rob God). He is my KEEPER and He shall supply all of my need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. And I’ll keep prophesying that over my life until the manifestation of a breakthrough. I’m on a journey and the process of relying on Him as my SOURCE. I’m being stre-e-e-e-tched outside of my comfort zone. It’s called the stretch zone. Yet, I choose to look at all the GOOD that has come out of this. I’m spending more time with & loving ❤ on my family. Y’all know they have been enjoying the fact that I’m cooking more too. ?

I’m going to have a GREAT testimony when I pass this here TEST. Now here at home, while working on what I thought would be book number 2, God instead gave me a download for another book. I signed the contract last week on a children’s book. And this week I’m at work on my next manuscript #book3! ? #Godisgood ??????

I want to encourage someone to keep moving forward on your life passion and dream. As the proverbial saying goes, “when life throws you lemons,? go make some lemonade.” You may have to close the chapter with individuals that are not supposed to be in the next season of where God is trying to take you. Some people are in your life for only a season, a reason, and others for a lifetime. He is opening up new opportunities, new resources, new relationships, and new doors. Many of you in this season may be in a place where you are alone OR have been removed from your job as I was. God has many of us in a place right where we need to be. Look at it as a set-up for something BETTER. Give it your BEST as you continue to keep it moving because it’s hard for the enemy to strike a moving target!! ? #focus #purposedriven #allthingsworktogetherforgood
