Do YOU understand that YOUR journey begins with one step?! * A Single Step* God Morning! Do YOU know that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Forty-three years ago today at 11:50pm, I took my first breathe, and that breathe manifested into forty two years of steps. Each step led me blindly to this moment. I say blindly because for the first 37 years of my life, I lived a life of broken ignorance, in a haze of my own illusion. I have been in reflective mode about all the steps I’ve made along the way! What I know for sure is that the steps of a good man are ordered! The amazing thing about this promise is that even when I was making broken decisions, GOD still ordered my steps. Every decision good and not so good, led me to where I am now in this very moment. Every time I breathe in that truth, it utterly takes my breathe away. I think what if I would have thought and done differently, how would my life be now? The reality is my life has been just as my Heavenly Father wanted it. My steps were orchestrated so YOUR steps could be differently. On my 43rd birthday, my gift to YOU is strategy, wisdom, and intentionality. I encourage YOU to be intentional about EVERY decision YOU make. Speak life despite how it appears. Use the wisdom of past experiences to grow YOU. Pass the test the first time! In certain areas of my life, I have been taking the same test for years! If YOU are dealing with brokenness, don’t mask it. It can not be healed, if YOU refuse to reveal it. This journey called life is happening for YOU, not to YOU! The time is now to ADJUST. ADAPT. OVERCOME, if not now...when?! . . . #motivation #inspiration #transformation #reflection #god #wisdom #purpose #mindset #destiny #testimony #happybirthday #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #writer #blogger #shanicjohnson #restorationcoach #lifelessons #mygoldennuggets #shanicjohnson #nashville
