God's Will vs. Everyone Else's Wants

Lately, doing what’s best for me, according to God’s will vs. doing what’s best for me, according to everyone else’s wants, have been heavy on my heart!!! I have been tussling with my passion and longing for being a Work-At-Home-Mom (often referred to as “WAHM”), with doing what everyone around me thinks I should do. After a lot praying and soul-searching I have decided to blaze and follow my own path and become a "WAHM" (ahhh, I love the sound of that).

So I have taken the first step towards achieving my dreams, I decided to start a business and exert my energies towards raising my children and nurturing my family. I love being an “accessible” mother and wife; and becoming a Work-At-Home mom will afford me that opportunity. It won’t be easy, trust me. I don’t have any savings, a minimal income and big dreams. I’m not going to say that I won’t miss the office gossip, politics or even fighting a crazy commute. But in the grand scheme of things I know that me being accessible to my children, husband and community is what I am placed on earth to do. What steps have God already ordered for you, that you are not climbing? What are you placed on earth to do? What is tugging at your heart and soul? What have you been fighting? What are your desires, wants, needs, longings? I would like to hear from you. Just know that whatever it is, it was placed in you long before your arrival here on earth.

Until next time: blessings on your spiritual journey!

Procrastination!

I procrastinated about writing about procrastination! I mean it’s not like I didn’t want too, but I had so many things to do before now. How’s that for a laugh! Well I am on my way to curing my procrastination, one step at a time. I mean I procrastinate about everything from housework to running errands to business matters. I realized that part of the reason I procrastinate is because my to-do lists are wayyyy too long. I mean I thought the more you put on your to-do list, the more it meant you are busy (don’t laugh; I know a lot you think the same way too). Wrong!!!! All it do for me is scare me, makes me want to run the opposite way and do just the opposite of what I am supposed to do. So my first goal is to write the Marketing Section of my business plan for my writing services business. I mean I figure since that’s what I do for others, write business plans and help increase the odds of success; it would only make sense for me to do so for myself, right? Yep! So I’m off to cure myself of procrastination, right after I get a glass of water and check my emails. Ohhh boy, this is going to be a long journey!
