At Last

Let today be your best day!  There is nothing standing between you and a good day except your thoughts.  Think good things and good things will happen.  There is nothing stopping your latitude except your attitude.  Aspire to inspire. If you are determined to make a difference in someone’s life today, you will see a difference in yours.  You are on the path to your destiny and your footsteps are guided.  Rejoice for today!

Good day to you all! Take control of the things that you can control, and let God take control of the rest.  You will be glad that you did.

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song- Etta James “At Last”

Have you ever found yourself searching for your happiness?  Have you ever looked for love in all the wrong places?  I know that I have.  I know what it is like to chase happiness and wonder why it keeps escaping me.  I did it for several years, and all the while I was praying, ”Lord if I could just have this thing, or if I could just be with this person, my life would be complete.  I would be happy.”  Then when that “thing” did not come, I would be disappointed, and would feel that happiness was not in my future.  I have been there and I have done that.  I am grateful for those days because I can look back and realize that happiness was not in those material things.  It took a long time for me to realize that happiness was not in the woman of my dreams. Don’t get me wrong, material things are nice, but they can only bring me temporary happiness instead of everlasting joy. 

Dear Reader I am telling you that when I found the love of the Lord, all I could say was: ‘At Last!’ Yes, I still had my goals, and yes I was still looking for love, but while I was looking, I would have joy.  I could look for the woman of my dreams and have joy.  I could try to get my career together, but in the mean time, I would have joy!  I could follow my dreams, but in between time, I would still have joy.  Yes, Dear Reader, at last, I have the joy of the Lord, and it feels good….at last!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
