Copied from my personal page… B.Salty is on hiatus until further notice!
LONG POST ALERT....
Before I get into this post I want to say three things:
1. We know that God works to help those people who love him. He uses everything that happens to them to bring something good. He does this for those people that he has chosen to serve him.
Romans 8:28 (ESV)
2. So, because of all the things that God does for us, we can say this: If God is working on our behalf, nobody can really do anything against us.
Romans 8:31 (ESV)
3. Because God loves us, none of these troubles can ever beat us. He makes us win against them.
Romans 8:37 (ESV)
I am going through some TROUBLES (nothing crazy, but troubles for me all the same) at the moment...I have had a very long 72 hours, and in all transparency I am TIRED. I spent two days checked out completely and it would of been three if I didn't prepay for Vibe Bingo with Danielle last night. I needed to get out the house tho (thank you for that friend).
I've spent the last couple of days just asking "Why is this happening?" and just being so mad. Before my situation popped up, I had already agreed to be a greeter for church this Sunday. (more transparency) I'm not in the mood to be smiley with anyone at the moment, but I volunteered to stand at the door and be one of the first faces that people see when they step into GLC...you best believe I'm bout to smile! lol. Nessa wasn't suppose to be a greeter today either, yet we were both standing by each other holding our signs...smiling and talking with Leah. I came into church this morning feeling blah, but the conversation I had with those two before I even stepped into the sanctuary already took SO much off my spirit. Then the word, and when Apostle called my name out, while preaching... not even knowing what I've been dealing with the last few days...it was nothing BUT GOD.
I left church still feeling a little bummed, because human...but more than anything I left feeling heard. God hears me...even when I'm crying and inaudible trying to figure out what I want to SAY, he hears my heart. And this little stuff I'm dealing with now, is SO little to such a BIG and MIGHTY God. It's also a testimony in the making...bae said we can't have a testimony with out the TEST. However, I pray that God keeps this chapter a little shorter than the others lol. But seriously, I look back at the times when I've felt like this before, and then I look at how much I've smiled since then. It's ok to be sad, frustrated, tired...but you have to remember to still praise. If I decided to stay in bed another day and get into zombie mode...I wouldn't have heard what God needed to tell me today.
This is for sure getting novel length....my bad yall... almost done lol.
But with alllll that being said, I think I need to kind of take a step back and collect my thoughts and get some much needed me time. I'm putting B. Salty on a hiatus for a bit, because I don't have the mental capacity to deal with running a business all alone at the moment. I also want to take a break off social media for a cool minute. I usually give it up for Lent, and this is the first year in about 5-6 years that I didn't. Sooo I'm doing that now. I'll be back when I'm 36 (lol my bday is 5/22). I just need to sit back, and spend some more time with my God, my man, my family (church family especially), and myself.
If anyone needs me, text me...and I'll keep messenger open, but I'm off FB & IG til next month. I'll keep everyone posted when I decide to pop up with some B. Salty...but it may be awhile.
Stay Blessed! XOXO
