Late Night ~HeartSpeak~
If it is to be...
It's amazing how God will bring something back from memory to bless you. This is why I count LIFE all joy!
Anyone that truly knows me knows that I like "deals" and will actually watch something until it goes on sale for long periods of time. I found a fanTASTIC "deal" on some bedroom furniture when I moved several years ago. I paid an extra fee, which I thought was low, and also thought included set up, etc... Should have known better!
The delivery guy arrived and I left him to do his thing. I was surprised at how quickly he was "finished". I had a rough day and was extremely tired and was looking forward to resting in my big King sized bed... WELL, when the guy emerged from the bedroom I went to take a quick look and there was nothing but boxes upon boxes in there. I looked at him and this is when he explained the reason I got such a great "deal". You don't get the assembled furniture on the showroom floor! I could not believe it. He then told me for a few hundred more dollars he could come back when he got off work and do it for me off the clock. I declined. After he left, I was about to set in to my pity party and start crying but then I realized, that would not solve anything and I would still need to get things done. So, I called a "friend" to ask to borrow tools and they said "NO!" Can you believe it? Guess what, at that point, it didn't matter. I politely said thank you and hung up then I "rolled my sleeves up" and went to work. It took me a few hours and even I was surprised at what I had accomplished but I put together the bed, two dressers and night stand. It was a blur and I don't remember a lot about it but I got it done! That once again let me know, I can do anything I put my mind to.
Moral of the story:
You are responsible for what does or does not happen in your life. You cannot sit back and blame it on someone else's action or inaction. Whatever you attitude is will greatly determine your "altitude" in life! I learned a long time ago, "If it is to BE it is up to ME!" So put in the work and make it happen family. Stop waiting for something to fall into your lap. The blessing you seek can be right in front of you, steps away! Go get it! The only way you will fail is if you give up! If you don't quit, you remove failure as an option!
Peace, love and blessings!
