Look What We Did There!

Hey Royals! I know we are in the middle of my reinvention series, but I had a revelation and had to share it with you quickly. This is going to be short, I promise.
Unbeknownst to you, I have had a lot happen in my life in the past couple of months. Things have made me want to admit defeat. I went as far as to look for someone to buy my business and walk away from my dream and purpose.
I was a complete MESS! I cried, screamed, got angry, was confused, and had many more emotions. I lost the zeal for pursuing my dreams, which scared me because I have never been one to give up, but this was a lot, and I felt too weak to continue.
I got angry with the Most High and many people around me...some unwarranted but justified to me at the time. I was so confused and hurt I couldn't see a glimpse of an unseen benefit.
After all those emotions invaded my mind and body like a ship of Vikings, I had to step back and evaluate everything happening so quickly, leaving me feeling out of control. It felt like Deja Vu, and it was extremely uncomfortable because I had built from that once before, and I was not ready to do it again.
This is where AGE kicked in. I had to take responsibility for my actions in the past (doing things for others that I should not have) and holding onto things that were not in the Most High's plan for my life. I had to evaluate my present state and figure out how to fix the problems that were staring me in the face. And I had to look to my future to see that my position was not a mistake but the Most High positioning me for more immense blessings.
As I said, I have been through this more than once, and each time I learn something that will help me to move forward.
The Most High had to sit me down to show me some things about my life and health. I ended up in the hospital because of stress and focusing on the wrong things. But I am also grateful for that time because it gave me some time alone and quiet to put things into perspective.
I settled myself with the current situation and saw the Most High's hand. I was able to deal with the hurt and betrayal I was feeling. I strengthened my resolve never to allow anyone to hurt me like that again.
When you are stubborn and independent, that is harder than it sounds. But I am learning I no longer have to be that rock for everyone. I have learned who is really in my corner. And that it is time for me to live my life; unapologetically.
When you mix your MESS with AGE (wisdom), you get a MESSAGE! All messages are not for someone else. The message is for you ninety-nine percent of the time, but you don't want to see it because it is not wrapped up pretty with a bow or doesn't feel good. This has taught me to look for the Most High in everything. To have unwavering faith in the Most High and never give up, no matter how ugly things seem.
Do you see what we did there? The Most High, and I turned my mess into a message. It may only be a message for me, but I wanted to share it to encourage someone. Don't think that what you may be going through or have gone through was sent to break you. The Most High sometimes has to get your attention to move you in the direction you need to go. Use it as a time to evaluate where you are and find the ways to move you where you need to be.
That's all I've got for now. I guess this is also a part of my reinvention. I had a way in my mind about how things would go during this time, but I am so happy and grateful now that I am flexible enough to bend to the will of the Most High and go in a different direction than mine if needed. It's humbling, but in an effective way if you learn the lesson.
Until next time,
Peace and blessings
