Nothing Is Too Wonderful To Happen

After everyone left this morning I laid down again to get some rest. I put my phone on silent and I slept like I had just finished a marathon.

I felt so much better when I woke up.

Everyday is a new day to forgive, be healed and imagine more for the future.

I texted Anna and we messaged back and forth for a little while before she called my phone. She’s also in transition, trying to figure out her next step. She thought she wanted to be in the classroom teaching but her current position has her in the computer lab and the library as the media instructor. Guess what? She loves it!

“I have so much more flexibility than I had when I was in the classroom!” she squealed. “I’m thinking about getting my masters but I’m also thinking about going to massage therapy school.” She laughed, “I dont know girl. All I know is I’m grateful that I made a move to Orlando. I don’t think I would have been getting married if I was still in Miami.”

We talked a little more about life taking its appropriate path and being willing to follow its lead. “I don’t have hopes of being rich like you, Tee. I know I’m going to be straight though. I just don’t know how it will happen.”

I sat in silence for a second.

“Anna, I don’t hope for wealth,” I explained. “Wealth is a given. Wealth will be a by-product of me being able to give my gift.”

“But that’s not how we see it when we read your blog,” she said. “You talk about having nice houses and servants and how you’re going to bless all of our kids with scholarships for college. You make it seem like you want to be rich and famous.”

“Not really. I EXPECT to be rich and famous,” I said with a laugh. “So that’s not the part I focus on. What I really want is to be able to do what God has gifted me to do. So far, I haven’t had the chance. I’m focused on the opportunity. I’m a writer and a speaker and a teacher. When I am positioned to do what I am gifted to do THEN I will achieve the success that I imagine. All that wealth and nice things will come along with it so yeah…I expect that too.”

Nothing is too good to be true.

Nothing is too wonderful to happen.

Nothing is too good to last.

I live life believing wholeheartedly in these statements and everyday my vision for my life becomes even more grand.

For real ya’ll!

~sigh~

9 MORE DAYS UNTIL I SEE MY SONS AGAIN!

I can’t stop smiling!
