“ARE KENYA AND MARK GETTING A DIVORCE?”

I asked Mr. Google the other day after catching up on some old episodes of The Housewives of Atlanta. I ended up watching a video of Kenya explaining how she was able to compartmentalize the cruel treatment she received from her mother growing up and not allowing it to hold her back from achieving success in her life. I even remember an episode when she took the cameras of this reality show to the mother’s house to confront her, and her mom refused to open the door, with Kenya even hearing her voice through the door. Talk about painful, being rejected your entire life by your mother.

But I love this strategy from Kenya. That little box you see I’m holding in this picture. I want us all running with this idea and continuously placing all the hurts, pains, disappointments, rejections, cruel, abusive and unfair treatments from our past (future ones too!) and hand this box over to God knowing He Himself will pay us back for any wrongs done to us when we stay on the high road with Him:

‘God, please take these painful situations away and help me to keep my focus on You as I work on being ALL that You created me to be. Help me not to dwell on the unpleasant things of life. Instead of focusing on LOW expectations from other humans (nobody’s perfect!), let me hold at the forefront of my mind grand plans, possibilities, goals, and dreams with HIGH expectations of You. Help me not to get discouraged, but encouraged that no matter what has happened in the past, I can still expect a highly successful future with You as my loving Guide and Partner. May I not become bitter, but better, practicing endless grace (forgiveness without punishment) of anyone who has caused me pain in anyway. Amen.’

KK, my peeps?!? As for me, that means sucking up all my blessings in every moment and focusing on being faithful and obedient to God who shows me such love and attention. Like today, I woke up listening to a sermon where the speaker spoke (Check out Bel Air Church’s podcast and Youtube channel) about turning NOUNS INTO VERBS, and he gave several examples. Like an hour later, I did the same thing telling my sister (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY K!) how my daughters love “caking” turning the noun “cake” to a verb “caking.” Then on my run, a few minutes later, I picked a brand new 6K run, and unbelievably Coach Bennet said the same thing about turning a noun into a verb! The God maniac here stopped her running and starting jumping up in excitement because I knew this ALIGNMENT was ALL orchestrated by God to show me HIS deep love for me. I finished that 6K strong- MY GOD IS WITH ME!!!

Are you having your appointments with God every morning and throughout the day? See how he used that very sermon to make me so happy! Don’t miss out on the best life with Him!
