Pinky Promise is...
After I preached this past week in Charlotte, I sat down, exhausted after pouring out so much. But so thankful to be doing what God called me to do. He told me that when I turn 29, I would be preaching the gospel. I knew it. But I had NO clue to how it was going to happen or WHEN it was going to happen. He told me this when I was 19 years old. I still had 10 years to figure it out. He told me that I would take on different jobs that would all prepare me for my purpose. The past 10 years haven't been easy at ALL. I jumped from man to man-- searching for worthwhile working at places.. I knew I wouldn't be at forever. Then, I noticed a common denominator at EVERY JOB.
I was always counseling & helping someone. At every single one. It seemed like people would pour out their divorce issues, drama, breakups.. and everything else. At each different job I went too.. I watched God cut off different areas in my heart that were hindering me from giving my whole heart to Him. Like.. not walking in love, being jealous, bitter, comparing my life to others, being content.. patient.
I just want to encourage you right where you are. You may wonder WHY the heck you're on this earth & WHEN is your "time" to finally feel good about your job. God wants you to learn to be content RIGHT NOW at YOUR job. As long as He has made it clear that you're supposed to be there for a season, find joy inside.. NOT externally. YOU cannot DEPEND on this WORLD for some type of comfort. We depend on the Holy Spirit and EACH season prepares you for the NEXT.
So spend crazy time with God. Ask Him to reveal your purpose. I remember God told me on our "date" night-- I had cooked spaghetti & cookies & we were watching the movie "Blue Streak"-- I shut everything down.. and just talked to Him. When He told me, I JUMPED UP! I was sooooooooooo excited!! OMG! Jesus! You called me to preach! GOSH! That’s so FUN! Then, I ran and told my unsaved roommate that God called me to preach. She looked at me like I was CRAZY as we were interning for Black Entertainment TV in Washington, DC. lol! Then, The Lord told me that I cannot look to humans for affirmation and that it must come from HIM alone. It’s another reminder that everyone won’t agree with you or have your best interest at heart. GOD told you—because it’s the vision HE gave you, NOT them.
So then, my journey started.
Know that DUE season ALWAYS come. BE PATIENT. TRUST GOD. Keep your eyes on CHRIST & NOT this crazy world.
God loves you like CRAZY,

Sis isn't God just amazing...his love is far beyond the feelings and lust that comes from the randoms that we have let in our lives. He may not come when we want him to but God is always on time. I thank God for people like Heather and My Pinky Promise sisters. Lord you are always answering my prayers, & I thank you for it!!!
♥ Thank you for this!
I love how you said, "I remember God told me on our "date" night-- I had cooked spaghetti & cookies & we were watching the movie "Blue Streak"...that just made me giggle, like, you really had a date night with God even though he doesn't have to eat the food you made. Its the thought that counts.
I really like how you expound on how you spend your time with God and making Him a denominator in everything you do.
Thats cool, and you even gave Him time to talk to you...like, you both were on a real date. Thanks for saying this - it's actually giving me more insight on how I should be with Him and including Him in everything. =)
