New Direction

So I haven't been to work since April 29th and I must say it was the best thing my company could have done for me. I knew when I started that job that it would only be for a season. When I first started I was hired for one position and a few weeks later was promoted into another. I was placed on commitees, given a nice office and great wonderful perks. I was able to travel all over the country and I loved it. But God started to show me that my exit time was getting close. They took away my travel, my office, and their behavior began to change drastically even though my work ethic and results remained the same. I was not moved by the situation, because I knew this was God's way of showing me what needed to happen. Everyday I prayed to God to help me pass all tests and fulfill my assignment. My obedience paid off. I was more than rewarded for my faith and diligence. I have profitted more in the past 3 months than I could have for most of the year. In May I began a joint venture business with my sister and business has really taken off. I have time to spend with my family, on school, and with myself which is invaluable. The best part is money is the least of my worries. I shared that to say this.... things may seem bleak or uncomfortable, but if you seek God and have faith He will bless in a manner that will far surpass your understanding. Be blessed.

What's Your Purpose?

I know it has been a while since I posted, but now that I have some free time I will pick up where I left off. So lately I have been engaging in conversation with a yound gentleman and we have been discussing how culture impacts relationships and things like that. Well today we were talking about knowing your role and what not. My viewpoint on the matter is very simple. I feel that each relationship in which we engaged is meant to serve a purpose. It is meant to teach us something about ourselves and how to proceed with others. So if a man dogged me out, yeah it may have hurt but what I ask mysel. f is what did I contribute and how can I avoid this in the future. There are some guys that I may be friends with and I treat them with care, compassion, and respect and because of the way I treat them they think  I am "the one". This is usually not the case, but it does give them some insight on how they like to be or should be treated. There are women that still act like ladies and have no problem catering to a man if he deserves it. Likewise there are still men who value women and have no problem showing their appreciation. We just have to take the time to understand and learn who those people are in our lives when presented. Just my personal opinion.
