Pause…

Pause: Interrupt action or speed briefly. 

As I sit here while I am writing to you and I begin to look back over the life I have lived thus far, I have learned to appreciate every interruption I have experienced. Whether it be in the way I was doing things, my thoughts, or my plans. Through and in it all I have seen that every interruption served a great purpose that was beyond me. Beyond my feelings, beyond my ways, beyond my lack of transparency and awareness of self. It was a push that kept me on the track of purpose and destiny even when the lines seemed blurred to me and I stepped out of the zone. Yet, somehow overtime the interruption in action or speed briefly set me right back on track one foot after the other. Key word and highlight on: Brief 

Many times when interruptions occur we think that it will last us eons of years to overcome and get pass. But in all reality it is temporary. It is something that wont last long and will resolve itself in due time. I’ll be honest with you when I hear the words “in due time,” my little brows start to raise along with the crinkling of my forehead lines. I can even fill the little curls that tend to stick up when I am trying to slick it back begin to fuzz up no matter how many times I apply gel and brush it down. When I see these words at times I want to just run away all together and not even think about it. The word due has no due date attached to it so I could just be floating around in space until the word time comes into play. Lets be honest that uncertainty can be very scary and can cause you to be very apprehensive as I was myself. But once you push past those thoughts and feelings running through your head and body a little light begins to pop up. Serving as a reminder that even in this due time, there is an expected end. There is a place your eyes have never seen before on the other side and all you have to do is remain a participant and embrace for the journey. In my experience every time I chose to embrace whatever came my way, the journey felt lighter because I came to an understanding. Now let me tell you my friends, this is by far one of the best places to be in. You can literally take a seat there. I invite you today to do the same and see how much clearer your vision becomes, ‘

your dreams and your acceptance of what has to be in order to become. 

No one can take away that settled place you invested the time, sweat, and tears in. Lord knows, it took me a minute to get there but I would not take any of those minutes, seconds or hours back. They were all vital moments and parts of my story that live in truth, reside in truth. As we have learned truth is where many want to be. It is where authenticity is birthed and your walk is footed in. No one wants to be living this life in a lie, I know for myself that is not a desire of mine and I pray and hope that it isn’t for you either. Seek the truth, seek the things that are for and serve your purpose. Anything else just wont cut it, and I hope you settle for nothing less than that as I have come to terms with.

Take every pause in faith that there is an after this.

Take every pause in an understanding that its apart of your story. 

Take every pause knowing that you are growing and maturing for the greatness that is guaranteed.

Take every pause to celebrate how far you have come in every up, down and in-between place. 

Take every pause.
