No one can stop what God has ordained

He showed you a glimpse ... it will happen.

Listen … I know I am extremely late this month, but I have an excellent excuse . . .

Last summer I dedicated my prayer to 5 topics:

• emotional stability,

• new beginnings,

• a stronger family bond,

• financial discipline and

• overflowing love without compliant.

Each topic was detailed with names, dates and timelines. I waited on God with great expectation. Along the way, I valued the opinions of close family and friends to affirm what I was praying. I attended certain conferences and worship services, waiting and watching for “that thing” to happen. When I was impatient, I worked to expedite tasks within each topic. This proved to be successful then God showed me a glimpse of what was to come in each topic.

I was so excited I wanted my close family and friends to affirm this vision . . . but it wasn't there. I became discouraged and felt that my works were in vain. I felt disconnected from reality and extremely alone. At my lowest point, Friday, July 20, 2018, I could not speak my best word. I had no hope, nothing more to give. I felt as if my prayers were destroyed and all of my works would go down the drain. Within the next week, hope was restored when I heard God say

“Don’t miscarry your vision waiting on people to approve it.”

So I didn’t wait on anyone or anything. On Thursday, August 2, 2018, I became the wife to a man that God ordained for me to marry. The glimpse of emotional stability, new beginnings, a stronger family bond, financial discipline and overflowing love without compliant was through a marriage ordained by God. My lateness in this monthly blog is merely me enjoying life. Many plans are in a man's heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail. (Proverbs 19:21) I outlined my plan of attack with each topic; completed tasks and never thought for a second a marriage was in the outcome.

How will this help you?

I thought that my close families and friends would assist with my new vision. I thought they would help with my 5 topics when all the while, God was working on something greater, something better. He was showing me all along, but I was looking towards others to move me forward. Some of those opinions were the complete opposite of what I was feeling. My closet friends seemed to be disconnected from my new goals and I was in my feelings about it. I had to STOP THAT! I couldn't stop God from putting my husband in my pathway. I couldn’t stop God from giving my glimpses of my future.

It is time to step out on faith. Get a plan together, complete your tasks but don’t miss the act of God that is about to move in your life. God has a plan for you weather you like it or not and you are about to walk into the destiny of greatness. “The LORD of Heaven's Armies has spoken--who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?" (Isaiah 14:27 NLT)
