He’s right around the corner, Part 2

Has that ever happened to you You’re gung ho on bringing something to reality, and then…resistance creeps in. Momentum slows down. Connection to your “why” lessens – it gets clouded. And before you know it, you’re no longer taking action towards that dream. Before you know it, you begin to feel a heaviness when you think about said dream. Or, perhaps you’ve even buried it, pretending that it’s not really important to you 
.
 I get it, sis. Been there. These days, I no longer doubt he’s on his way, that he’s already here, or that we’re being prepared for each other. But I used to. I used to tell myself it didn’t matter, and that maybe I didn’t actually want to be married. Maybe I wanted to be that eccentric old maid who was known for having a hundred birds, like the older lady in Home Alone 2 
.
 I used to doubt in order to make it less painful. I used to tell myself to just get used to a life of being single. That there isn’t a man for me. I can just know that my friends are happy in their relationships, but it’s not meant for me, or me for it. Give up. Stop waiting. He’s not showing up. You already have a cat – may as well fit the stereotype.
.
 TIP: lying to yourself about your dreams and deepest desires is NOT helpful. So…((lovingly)) knock it off!
.
God gave you that vision and it’s not meant to die or bring a heaviness when you think about it  Time to take your joy back, babe! This morning in women’s prayer we prayed a refreshment of *knowing* that God’s promises WILL come true in YOUR life (not just in your friends’ lives). That you will have a rejuvenated sense of joy  and anticipation around your dreams, even if it’s not yet tangible in the physical realm. That any lies you’ve been believing (i.e. the examples I shared above ) would fall away and would be replaced with the TRUTH!
.
 Tying this back into part 1 (about resisting action towards our dreams) not only are you worthy of finding the answer  about what’s holding you back (so you can address it head on), you are worthy of your dreams (so you can live them out and inspire others along the way ).
.
 GO FOR IT!
