Hi friends! A while ago one of my friends encouraged me to start a prayer journal. The biggest reason was to be able to go back to “old” prayers and see which prayers he answered. How many prayers have you said and just forgot about the outcome? Seeing them in a journal shows those two pretty eyes hard proof that he answers and doesn’t answer prayers. I find myself feeling more thankful for the unanswered prayers. Do you agree?

Oh how we think we know exactly what we need and want… which in my world is both (HA!). Then God comes in and gives you so. much. more than what we could have ever “wanted or needed”. Can I get an amen?!

The prayer that keeps filling the pages of my prayer journal is for answers regarding my calling in life. I have said this for a while. I just feel in my bones I was made for more. Made to make a big impact. I believe it is through a non-profit. I just have no clue which one, how to start one, what I am passionate about and this list could go on with all the analysis paralysis questions. Merp.

The thing I do feel and know is that God is doing a lot of work behind the scenes and in this moment I feel called to just sit still. To sit and trust that he is working everything out so when that time comes I will be ready. He is preparing my heart, soul, and mind. I have this time to learn, explore and search the thing that sets my soul on fire. The thing that will give me the feeling that this is the one. I know it’s coming. I just have to learn to be patient and be okay with not having all the answers.

See friends, I am a Scorpio. I don’t know a lot about horoscopes. I just know the “basic” traits of a Scorpio. Scorpio’s are passionate people. Funny thing is I have never felt I was a passionate person. I always had a negative view with someone with a lot of passion. Why? Who knows.

I was at dinner with some of my girlfriends and we were talking about horoscopes and the different traits associated with them. They all, without hesitation, said I am a very passionate person. HA! Oh how we think we know ourselves.

Well, spoiler alert after thinking about it and their many examples, I am a passionate person. I am passionate about making people feel included, loved and encouraged. Making sure they feel heard, considered and cherished. Making sure they feel empowered to chase every single one of their dreams. Making sure they know when they get down or stumble they have a group of people around to lift them back up, dust them off and get them back on their journey. Making sure they feel confident in their own skin and just feel absolutely fabulous. See I am very passionate about brightening peoples worlds. If you are in my life, I will pour into you and love you just like family. I promise you I will bring you into my world of fabulous and we will all just love you for you. Just you with no judgement.

Another thing that fills my prayer journal are prayers for my friends, family and new connections. I want each of them to have success, healing, new opportunities, and answers to the prayers in their heart. The coolest thing is watching those prayers get answered and watching God go to work for them. Sometimes they don’t see it, but the people on the sidelines do.

Trust me when I say, when you go to work, God will go to work for you. He will open doors and move mountains with mustard seeds. The only thing is you have to get off your couch sister. Get your cute hiney movin!! Those callings/pulls on your heart… listen to them. They are there for a reason. We all have different callings. Go for it! Trust me, God will work out all the logistics of it. Be brave, sweet friend!!

Friends, go after your dreams, send up those big prayers, write them in a journal so you can see how faithful God is, and go be the joy! You are good enough. You are capable. You are just fabulous!

As always, thank you for spending some of your day with me! Have a wonderful day! Stop, look around and see all of God’s blessings and favor in your life. Oh he is so good!
