Wait...It's Coming

In the age of consumerism and social media life broadcasts we've been led to believe that we need more and we need more now.

We may start to think: We should be over there doing what classmates are doing. We should have what this one has. Why am I not there yet? Why don't I have this?

Wait....

Remember those good ole sayings:

1. Nothing before it's time.
2. What's for you is for you.
3. Slow and steady wins the race.

They are all true.
When you don't get something exactly when you want it there's many possible reasons why, but I'd say: God knows you weren't to have it - or he says that's not for you to have at all.  Sometimes that road you feel has too many bumps was designed to keep you back from the oncoming collision.

As I approach a major milestone in my life I am reflective, I am happy, I am celebrating. I will not allow society to put an expiration date on my blessings. I am embracing where I am! Progression is my goal and God keeps me moving toward it!

So don't rush for anything; just wait...it's coming!

Day 2: Stella Maris n beyond; Long Island

Day 2: Adventures in Long Island 

Waking up to this makes waking up even more AWESOME

On the road with our new Long Island friend, Shaun - where are we going? are we there yet?

seriously, are we there yet?

Exploring and ended up at Cape Santa Maria

Surf Board - only on land chal - lacking mad balance on the 2nd pic

 

With these views you must give thanks, I thought the silence would kill me, but it's amazing! I'm enjoying the moments - mum is the worst picture taker, Shaun ain (isn't - for my non Bahamian readers I love) much better & I can't remember my flickin' selfie stick.

At the north end, The End of Long Island this side

I'd love to always she my mom laughing and happy like this, no matter how we argue - das my girl!

So we're relaxing after a long drive and tap tap tap, this little critter wanted to be invited in..."CATCH HIM" Bae said - ahhhhh NO

Back at the resort when we had enough energy to get out of bed - mumsie and her awesome conch fritters I couldn't eat. Allergies BITE!  She said they were really tasty and full of conch.

A boat suspended above our head

About to chase crabs

She caught a big one - LOL

They were every where we turned

I said, "what if he snap at my finger" my mom said - "girl that ain ga hurt" LOL really between mom and Bae they want me to go home without fingers. Oh and to the right is my crab walk

I got a Marlin baby! nevermind I'm on my toes

 

My favourite - I'm gonna sleep like a baby

Give Thanks

This morning I sat down outlining my morning to one of the few people I know who asks the question, how was your morning? and actually cares about my answer.  So after I rambled on and on I said geesh what a morning.  Then I had to reflect: All these things that I felt were negatives and dampers on my GOOD THURSDAY could all be looked at in a positive light.  This is real, I really experienced these things but I have something to say to Satan who thought he was gonna make me walk into darkness and doubt how beautiful this day will be. GET THEE BEHIND ME satan.

God has shrunk you, you are minimized and my eyes have seen that I am truly blessed.  In all things, I am truly blessed.

Opened my eyes extra early this morning
really wanted the rest of that sleep
sat up anyway, couldn't sleep anymore
almost turned over that cup of water
on my bedroom floor

Hopped in the shower to get blasted with cold water
burned my lip on some hot tea
barely stomached the oatmeal, my mother made for me
saw the food from last night forgotten on the stove,
seemed still good to eat

Drove to work while my car sputtered
oh my gosh I had to pee
made it just in time, what a relief to me
sat to my desk only seconds, my nose began to drain
eyes weren't far behind
I was ready to complain
when this poem came to mind:

Thank God in all things
For he has blessed me where I did not see
And all the things I thought were wrong
Are his blessings he gifted to me

So I thank you dear Father
For a eyes to see,
and I could open up early this morning
Legs to run
when this bladder is full and pouring
Nose to sniff,
smelling spring
even though my allergies bring
I thank you Father
for this
And Everything
