Dear Brothers, Sisters, Family and Friends,
The Coronavirus is real. I've had several family members and friends pass due to this virus. You may not believe in it, but for the sake of your family, friends and co-workers, please be safe, mask up, wash your hands and social distance. I thank you, they will thank you and the world will. People are dying and some are dying to get back to some sort of normal life. Please, let's all do our part to help the situation. Thank you!

A few years ago while at work, a client ask me, "are you always this quiet?" My reply, "I think I am, but you may need to ask someone else for a second opinion."
The person with the second opinion said, "she's quiet, but effective." I was quite surprised, to say the least. I must also say, that I felt good about it. Knowing that what I had to say was being heard by someone else. Let me say this, please know that people are watching and listening to us while being influenced by what we say and do, be it good or bad. The last thing is, be your best self. Are You A Servant? One day a few years ago, I was wondering why I am the way that I am. I was wondering, why I do the things that I do.
The answer that I came up with is, the personality and character that God gave me. The characteristics that seem to stand out, I think are God given. God gave me the heart of a servant. That is my lot in life, a servant. One that will serve for no pay, no reward or recognition. One that will give everything wholeheartedly. One that will give to anyone in need regardless of age, race, religion, education, or gender. That's a servant and that is what I do. There have been times when I've tried not to be in the servant role, but I wasn't very successful. My eyes and heart always pick up on the radar coming from someone in need. I know I can't help everyone solve every problem. I wish I could. I have learned that I have to be directed by the Lord on who to help, but it's hard because I would like to help everyone, even some of my enemies. It came to me that when people are specious of me and think that I want something from them when I extend kindness or do a good deed, that just may be my cross to bear. We all have them. That cross may never go away, because I'll always meet new people and people will always need something. It's a hard cross to bear, because all I want to do is to help and love people. Are you a servant? THE TIME HAS COME
The time has come for me to move along. To move to the next assignment, the next location, the next task, the next movement or calling, the next group of people that I will influence or who will influence, encourage and support me. I did my best, I’ve learned a lot. I met some new people and a new way to do some things. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve made mistakes and did some things well. I tried to encourage, uplift and support, but if I fell short please forgive me, because I really did try. I'm not sure about what’s coming next or who or when. I just know that God has a plan for me, for my life, just for me. Whatever that is I’m sure it will be amazing, because God takes us from glory to glory. I’m open to His leading and guiding, because he has the perfect plan for me. He doesn’t make mistakes and I trust Him. I’m ready God, do your thing. |
