Do you want the truth? Or something beautiful?

I attended Megafest this year, and it was truly a blessing!
I had a couple of thoughts on why I should not attend because my sister who is
the reason I started attending Megafest would not be here this year. While I
had so many reasons on not to attend something told me to go. I am glad I did!
Every sermon made me think about my past, present, and future. As I stated in a
previous post, I do not believe in coincidences, so I was meant to hear every
sermon. One sermon in particular hit me like a ton of bricks. The sermon was on
Faith and sometimes God uses people to push you into your destiny. Well, God
used a good friend, John Patrick Adams, the creator of The Truth Bowl to push me in my destiny. Last June, I started my
own blog and in March I ended my blog. I ended my blog because I was upset. I
did not want to write anymore. I was upset about other things in my life and
did not want to do it anymore. Well, when John reached out to me to write for The Truth Bowl. I did not want to do it.
I did not have much to say and personally I was not in the space to write.
However, since it was John I put my feelings to the side and decided to write.

The Truth is… We need a little push sometimes. We need someone
to help push us to our destiny. God will use different people to help us to the
next level. They will help stretch us to a place we never would of imagine.
Sometimes those very individuals who are pushing us see something in us that we
may not see, or do not want to see. Sometimes we allow our emotions to prevent
us from seeing our destiny because we are upset at that moment. We allow the
present moment of frustration to impact our future. We may kick or scream, but
when God sends someone to push us a still voice inside of us will comply. God
will get us to our destiny.  Every
situation will connect if we hold on to our Faith. The situation that caused me
to shut down my blog I have now turned into a story. I stop allowing the
situation to define me but rather allow me to define the situation and outcome.
God used The Truth Bowl to help me
tell my story, and to start writing again. I always love writing and was going
to let one incident stop me from doing the very thing I love.  Writing is something I cannot get away from
because I write for The Truth Bowl,
writing speeches for Toastmaster, and my new position forced me to write
constantly. I am also in the process of writing a book. God allowed The Truth Bowl to push me in so many
ways. Instead of kicking and screaming when someone is pushing or stretching
you beyond your comfort zone turn around and say thank you. Thank you Truth
Bowl (John)!

Can you handle the truth?
