It’s the Sunday after CIAA and I am in my hotel business center alone. Nobody here but me. It sounds normal, maybe. But I can’t remember the last time I have been alone either at home in Atlanta or outside of Atlanta and just had NOTHING to do! It feels so weird but there is always a calmness after the storm.
Charlotte is BEAUTIFUL and bright and brisk today! I actually love the weather here. Other than CIAA, I am here to start on a new endeavour. If you are close to me you know what it is. I am assured that if it’s according to God’s will I will be moving closer to that goal asap.
But times have been crazy I have been running around the city of Atlanta nonstop for the past few weeks. I haven’t had a time to sleep much less just chill and enjoy life. Yesterday, I was at the airport for 7 hours because I missed my flight to Charlotte and I had the most engaging time! My friend who works at the airport came to sit with me, I met an awesome new connect/business friend and I really enjoyed the alone time.
My point is make alone time. I didn’t realize how important it is until now. I love staying busy but alone time is essential for my mental health. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to MAKE IT to Charlotte! Much less be alone for the weekend. But God gave me everything I needed to be here at this ordained time.
All is according to God’s will the people you meet, the things that happen and the situations you are placed in and I am so grateful to have this alone time! You should join me and go into your prayer closet and spending a lot of time with God today and tomorrow. I pray everyday, but I think that for times such as this in such a transition stage, its important to ask GOD specifically for the things that we desire. God will always grant us the desires of our heart if they are within his will and time. I learned to ask and receive a long time ago and I’m still working on it! It’s a challenge because often we think that God knows all and sees all. But truth of the matter is that we have to have personal and intimate daily conversations with him about our desires. We have to ask and believe. Faith without works is dead.
So I challenge you today to MAKE some alone time. I don’t care how many things you have to do. Make at least 30min-1hr of time for you. Wether its reading a book or walking in the beautiful weather. Spend time alone with your thoughts and God! I promise you will see the increase in your life.
