Blossom and Conquer

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about myself, my relationship, and where I am in life. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not happy with a lot of the things that I do or do not have going on. I feel like I should have progressed farther than I have. I feel like I should have my bachelor's degree in some field already. I feel like I should already be in love and be on my way to having a husband. I feel like I should be living in my own apartment in Harlem, Atlanta, or even the Washington D.C. area. I feel like I should have a closer relationship with God. I feel like I should be financially stable. I feel like I should be more physically fit. But NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE SO .... right now.

Earlier this month I was really on my pity party ish. I didn't have any drive or hope. I felt like I was gonna forever be stuck where I am. BUT then something happened. 1st I went to a women's' conference that I aunt had put on at her church called "Why Cope When You Can Conquer?" See the problem with coping is that things never change. When you cope you submit to the issue. That's not what I want to do. I want to conquer my issues and go out a reach my goals and live out my dreams. Then last night I watched a sermon by Joel Ostein. It was called "Blossoming Where You're At". Basically he was just saying to be positive and to ask God to change my situation. When God sees you blossoming he will lift you to where he wants you to be.

With that in mind, I'm going to conquer these issues and blossom where I'm at. Because if God is for me, who can be against me??
