The Most Imperfect Person

 Hello World, 

Vacation is over now, and I can get back to adulting. LOL. I have to say being in beautiful state and spending time with family is always a great small vacay. So, if you've never visited Portland, Oregon, it's a must! There's so much diversity, and the food is bomb! I haven't been disappointed yet! Oh, if you're a coffee lover, then you'll definitely enjoy the many places with amazing coffee! There were times that I didn't even put sugar in it...and that's wild to me! It was so good! I mean, I clearly was blessed to have such a great brother to care for me while I was in Portland! The air even feels fresh! Just go, you won't be disappointed. The views are amazing! 

At any rate, I really just had so much fun! I mean, I did quite a few things on my own, but no biggie, I still enjoyed me! LOL. I took those moments to reflect on myself as a person. I'm kind of in the middle of an identity crisis. Yeah, I don't have it all figured out yet. I keep changing things in my life, and I just don't really understand where it's all leading at times. I just know that I was given another chance to live, and this time I am living for myself. Don't get me wrong, I live for God. However, there are times that we get so distracted by things that surround us that we lose focus of what God truly has in store for us. So, when I say that I live for myself, I mean...I don't live trying to solve everyone's issues, being everyone's therapist, etc. For the first time in my life, I have taken moments to just sit and reflect on my life, my accomplishments, my dreams, my desires, my goals. I also take in God's creation. The beauty of it all is simply astounding. 

In my reflections, I came to one conclusion...Dayse, you are the most imperfect person in this world, and yet, God had mercy on you. I make mistakes, I fail, I fall short when it comes to the christian way, etc, but through all of it, God has never forsaken me. In every sermon, motivational christian speech, and song, God is letting me know that He's got His eyes on me. He's watching over me, and He will guide me if I just trust Him. He's letting me know that in due time I will have clarity like everything else in my life. Recently, I was listening to a sermon on how God transformed people that everyone else considered the most imperfect people. What everyone thought was trash, God transformed into treasure, but they each had to have an encounter with the Lord. God's plan with those people became clear, when He decided to impact their lives in an undeniable manner. 

Yeah...I may be imperfect, I may not have it all figured out, I may make mistakes, I may fall short at times, I may not understand, but I have one guarantee...that God knows what He wants for my life, and I am going to lean into that promise. God has promised plans for the future, not to harm us, but to prosper us. If we simply lean into His promises, what could become of our lives? Will we be changed in an undeniable manner for His kingdom? Will we prosper when everyone else thinks we will fail? Will we fulfill His plan in our lives? So to you I say, lean. Just lean into His promises, and clarity is bound to come. Lean.

Sincerely, 

Dayse
