I have not written in a few months. For those who follow me you know I write in spurts. I am very much an inspirational writer, I write when I am inspired. Well I have been re-energized after experiencing a spiritual revival that is taking place at my church this week. Prophet Todd Hall is spreading the prophetic word with true power and anyone who chooses not to grab hold of it is crazy.
Last night he stated that he asked God to overload him with Destiny so he could resist Desire. Awesome! I realize that is exactly what God is doing to me. I am too busy right now and I don’t mean idle busyness either. I am back in school completing my A.A. in communications. I was really amazed at how easily I rolled back into the process of school. I stopped going eight years ago when things in my life were crazy. During that time I could hardly focus on daily tasks much less multitask and it showed in my grades. But now it is almost effortless. That is the power of the Holy Spirit.
I am also building my business, I have four active projects that require a lot of my time, as I am primary on all of them. Then I am working full-time on a temporary assignment and all of this has to fit into my schedule as a single mother of three. Now don’t get me wrong I was exhausted last week. When I got home Friday I ate dinner and got in the bed. I stayed there until Saturday morning.
I posted on my Facebook page last week that I was doing things I had not done in years and it was not a struggle. Everything that I am doing is a step towards my destiny. I have some very definitive goals that must be accomplished and I can’t let anything distract me, especially not desire.
My desire had ruled my early adulthood and caused me to forfeit so much. I did not finish my education, I did not pursue my gifts and I did not pursue God. But all that has changed. I feel like he has given me a second chance and I intend to take full advantage of it.
Like prophet Hall said last night, how can I turn in the direction of desire when my destiny offers so much more. I see the desire and hear it beckoning to me but what God is offering is a whole lot better. I am not sacrificing my destiny, that will provide for my lifetime and the lifetime of my children, for desire that will only satisfy a moment, an emotion, a craving or a whim.
