At the beginning of 2020 I had a plan. At least, I thought I did…
In January, I promised myself to get my life together. I was honestly all over the place. I wanted to get really clear on my goals and aspirations. Being the person I am, I sought coaching. I decided to sign up for Lyra and talk to someone who didn’t have a personal connection to me.
I started my first session with my truth; I didn’t know where my career was headed. Everyone would ask me where I saw myself in 5 years, and to be honest, I hesitated every time. After a few sessions, I told my career coach, “I think I want to move to New York to live with one of my best friends and do something more creative.”
I focused on those two things for the next three months. Well, that plan fell apart in March. My coach asked me how I felt about it, and honestly, I had a hard time putting it into words. That’s when I realized I was approaching this all wrong.
I was consulting the wrong person. I was creating a checklist like I normally do instead of following my heart! I wasn’t following God’s plan.
I decided to take a step back and focus on figuring out God’s plan for me. On May 31, 2020, I wrote this in my prayer journal.
“God I pray that you guide my heart. I pray that you guide me every step of the way to a prosperous life. I pray that I touch the lives of many and I overcome every fear and doubt I currently have. Lord, please be my source of strength as I move toward what you have called me to do. I love and worship you! – Amen”
Two months later, I feel as though God is answering my prayers. He’s leading me toward my calling and giving me all the tools and resources that I need to get there (amidst all the chaos of the world).
The messages I’ve received over the past few weeks serve as confirmation. He is helping me figure out my Destiny and I am forever grateful for this unexpected spiritual awakening. What a blessing!
