Slow Your Roll

After an emotional early morning and an even more emotional hustle through traffic, I am finally getting settled in at work. I had my moment of silence to expel all negative energies that I have picked up since I rose and along my journey here and gather, all of the positive energy needed to catalyst this workday. For some reason, I am still feeling a little unsettled.
On the way to work, I stopped to the nearest gas station for a quick fill up and my favorite drink, Sobe Elixir 3C. Yummy!! I did not open it until I did all of my computer log-ins and my routine prepping. I tend to be very meticulous at work. If all paperwork, logs, pens, phones are right where I need them, it makes for an extremely smooth day for me. It does not matter how much I have to do.

So anyways, when I find myself in such a 'disfunk', I usually seek out some type of enlightenment. My Creator and I have been really tight lately. He has been speaking to me a lot, and in some of the most unexpected ways. Well, I twist my Sobe cap, take a few yummy sips, close up the bottle, and place it on my desk. Before I pick up the bottle again, I check my email, reply to a couple, and resolve a couple issues. When I opened the cap the second time, I looked inside. Inside every cap, Sobe always has some type of saying inside but this morning I wasn't really thinking about it. Inside the cap were three words, Slow Your Roll.
My spiritual motors revved and my mind became a whirlwind of thoughts. There is a lot to be said about these three words. I was talking to a friend of mine on yesterday evening about God's continually confirming his life's purpose. I was thoroughly inspired and encouraged as he spoke about several incidents that took place over the few days we had not really spoken. I began to tell him about how, every year up until I found my niche, I would have these temper tantrum with life. You know, how things were not happening the way I wanted and when I wanted them to happen. I think I was more frustrated with the fact that I did not know what it was I wanted to make happen. I would be angry at the world because I felt like I was a grown man, time was slipping away and I had nothing to show for it. Everyone else around me was doing something important but me.

Listen Fam, all of our mumbling, grumbling and complaining is not going to make things happen any faster for us, no matter what it is. The fact that we find ourselves in this place of unrest, shows a sign of maturity but God always knows best. We may want that promotion but we may need a little more work on our character and a minor attitude adjustment. We may want someone to love us but we may need to spend a little more time loving on ourselves, healing and dealing with old baggage. Just because we think we are ready for something, does not necessarily mean it is ready for us. Slow Your Roll. Patience is a virtue and everything will happen for us in its season. God's infinite wisdom always supersedes our finite understanding. He will reveal it all in time.

I wrote this blog to encourage you. Do not worry about tomorrow. There is enough trouble today. God takes care of every blade of grass and sees it through its purpose...from lush green to withered and dried. If you want it...He will make it happen.
Love, peace, and blessings.
