Today I went to lunch with a youth pastor. I think God told him to contact me with good reason. From my meeting with him, I had the same statement reiterated that I’ve been telling myself all month — that is is time that I do something for me. I’ve been called a number of things when I started working ON me and not FOR other people but I guess it’s true what my Pastor (while in college) said, ‘Friends don’t treat me like they used to since I laid my burdens down.’
For Lent, I gave up procrastination. As a new years resolution, I gave up on dealing with stagnant people. I’m starting to believe that the stagnant people were catalysts for my procrastination. They weren’t directly affected because well they were stagnant anyways but I was the one that took the fall during the process. I became a part of my own problem. Now that I have been able to sit down and focus on what is important to me, doors have definitely opened. Not necessarily where I wanted them to open (new/fulltime job) but where my passion lies (writing and networking opportunities).
I think today may have been the beginning of my pursuit and I’m blessed to say that I’m excited for everything ahead.
