I’m Still Here, Blooming.
“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.”
I haven’t written an actual blog post in a year. It feels good to be doing this again. I forgot how the process made me feel. Let me set the scene for you. My process will typically go like this. I will receive a word, idea, or have a thought come up. I will pull out my blogging notebook. Yes, I have a notebook for specific things! Open up to a fresh page. Put the date and title I have on my heart, and then start writing. Once I have written it then I will grab my laptop and type it up in google docs. Oh, let's not forget while I am doing all of this music is blasting through my speakers. Coffee or tea has been poured. An AmoraGlow candle is lit, and the creative vibes are set!
I forgot how alive my process makes me feel. I forgot how it feels to hear the typing sound. I forgot how much my creative juices flow when creating the actual blog post. Creating the graphic, adding links etc. Oh, how I have missed this. I have missed you too! Writing and blogging is not only a passion and joy of mine, but a one vehicle God has given me to fulfill my purpose. If I can be honest I let it all slip away from me last year. I got caught up in the vlogging (YouTube) vehicle, and forgot the main vehicle for long distance was this blog!
I did a fourteen day fast entering into my thirty fourth birthday. God was speaking so vividly and constantly I was walking around with my journal daily. I was writing downloads from heaven. God directed me to get back to writing. Letting me know that it's time to get back to the basics. Letting me know that I really need to be operating all my platforms in this season, but writing needs to be prominent. I am not going to say I was not in total alignment with vlogging. My YouTube will still be used. I hear God saying even as I write this “weekly rotation.”
I am in a season well actually a place of shifting into Kingdom alignment. Not just with my purpose, but a realignment with every area of my life! This shift feels so different and that’s because it’s permanent. I was doing it my way long enough. I wasn’t truly seeking for strategy daily. I was in control for a while, but glory be to God He never forsaken me. I am grateful for the shift. That’s why I said I am still here and still blooming. I am unfolding and thriving. I am still getting tended to by the master gardener (Jesus). Still unlearning and learning. Still healing, but nonetheless all is well though! We do have a lot to catch up on, but I will save that for the next post. Here are some recent things though! I love you and thank you for reading.
