Check Your Feathers

I find it interesting how there are people in this world who, no matter what, always think the solution is to pray harder. Or differently. Start fasting. Tithing more. What happened to “the faith of a mustard seed?” Why would ALLLL that other stuff you’re doing, even at a minimum, not be enough?

It’s such an elementary question, I’m sure nobody ever thinks to ask it of themselves, but if they only would, they might find a series of other questions worth asking themselves too. But hey, maybe that’s why they won’t ask. Just maybe they’re a little afraid of what may lie beyond the doors those questions unlock. Some people need to be told what to think - how to think. Guided through life - but whose life are you then living?

"God needs more from me."

*record scratch*

*squint*

God is good. No really. God is GOOD. LOL

No matter what your religion or lack thereof, I assure you God don't need anything from you. You don't need to spend more time on your knees. You need to spend more time on your feet. DOING shit. Nothing you're after is just going to fall in your lap, and if you think God's gonna move differently in your life cause you did some "extra credit" assignments, you're childish.

“I can feel it coming in the air tonight…..”

Why do I feel like I’ve started a post that way before? Whatever, we recycle around here LOL.

So, I got a new job........ in July, LOL. I know I’ve been in here a couple of times since then, but I was preoccupied with whatever I had to say at those times and didn’t think to mention that. It's actually part of the reason I haven't been around as much recently - there was a TON to learn at my new company and the work was a LOT initially. Between that, the gym and trying to salvage what was left of the summer, I'd be exhausted by Wednesday every damn week.

That being said, I absolutely LOVE my new digs. It's still a lot of work and challenges my organizational skills every single day, but the wins are super rewarding. The office is sick, the people are awesome, and contentment in my workplace has been a long time coming.

Speaking of people, I made an amazing new connection on this job. We started on the same day and she said to me recently that her experience might have been a lot different without me, and not in a good way. I'd say the same of her. Like I said, the job was really overwhelming in the beginning and things were a lot easier having someone to go through it with. Not to mention, we're like the same soul, split into two different bodies, so our conversations get pretty deep, and it's been through those talks that I've been able to connect a lot of the dots regarding this energy shift I'm experiencing in my life. We also laugh til we cry, so there's that.

I've also reconnected with a couple of old friends. It's interesting how coming back together with people after like 25 years of absence from each other's lives allows for an entirely new appreciation for the relationship going forward.

And, of course, it's always great when you get to put in some time with your ride-or-dies, which I've also had a chance to do recently.

I've been on some real "woman behind the curtain" shit for a while now, so it's interesting that my world is suddenly so "peopley". I think I've been mourning what I considered a huge loss for the past 8 or 9 years, but I finally started to understand that I had another choice. That I am the architect. And it all began with this job. Interesting as well that it was the change I needed most and it took the longest to make. The thing that was impacting everything else was the thing that impacted everything else....
