2020 has taught me more & more about appreciating the gift of each day, so this birthday is even more important. I am blessed & grateful to see not only another birthday, but another day!
“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” -Psalms 118:24 NKJV
There has been so much loss in my circle of friends & family within the past few months alone; additionally, there’s so much in the news that has reminded me of loss. In this, I’ve looked at the lives of these individuals & see how they truly lived in their purposes that God has called them to. They didn’t live in the barriers of the limitations that circumstances created, but in the promises of God & faith. This enabled them to leave behind legacies & imprints that will carry on beyond their time periods on Earth. It made me examine & take further action on my God-given purpose, without moving in fear, but in faith. Because time on this planet is not guaranteed, let alone, the option of seeing the next minute tick by. It’s imperative to live & not just exist—to thrive & not just survive.
On this birthday, I am in a better place to say that I am purposefully living. Although there may be challenges & such, I see the blessings in what’s going on in my life & how I can intentionally move forward in all that God has called me to do in who He has called me to be.
2020 will go down in history as one of the years we will never forget, but God is still blessing in 2020 as He’s done in past years. Someone told me recently, “If you’re still alive in 2020, you know it’s for a purpose!” This is nothing but the truth!!! My word for 2020 remains abundance. This abundance is coming in ways that I couldn’t imagine; it’s not in tangible things alone. It’s growing my faith, my time & relationship with God & others, & even within myself while fully living the life He’s called me to.
God still blesses, even in 2020! Live your journey fully in the gift of each precious moment.
Until next time.
Blessings,
