That's not what I asked for.....



 This week is definitely flying by, and honestly, I’m not sure what type of greatness lies in September, but August is clearly trying to get the heck out of the way. Happy Wednesday!!! How are you doing? Did your Tuesday allow you to shine as bright as you wanted to? What’s your mental capacity at this moment? (Because let me just admit, I just realized I didn’t eat dinner last night 😒). Tuesday whooped my ass and then politely reminded me who the boss was by forcing me to take a bath and reset. I keep jokingly telling random people to come get me, but guess what? NOBODY has taken me seriously. Still, even while I’m functioning in the negative, I’m grateful to have made it to the middle of the week.

For the last couple of days, I’ve been questioning the universe about something I specifically asked for. I’m almost positive they delivered, but it’s not exactly packaged the way I expected. (Yes, that side-eye is intentional.) What do you do when you request a package, yet it shows up with unexpected accessories and some of the pieces need immediate alteration? Do you keep the package and figure it out, or do you slap that return label on it and send it right back to the sender? That’s the dilemma I’ve been entertaining, and it’s teaching me to be more mindful of the words I speak into existence.

The truth is, we have to be careful what we ask for. Sometimes blessings come with responsibilities and adjustments, and that doesn’t mean they aren’t still blessings. That’s why it’s so important to make every moment yours—focus less on the distractions, and more on the bigger picture of what’s unfolding. The noise will always try to pull you off track, but when you stand firmly in your lane and embrace what’s in your hands, you begin to realize that even the unexpected parts of the package can still be used for your good.

So today, I’m thanking God for the NOW moments. I’m not letting the stress of tomorrow overshadow the fact that today is here, and it deserves my full gratitude. Tomorrow will sort itself out, but right now is the gift I get to unwrap. So instead of overthinking the delivery, I’m going to sit in the present, embrace the pieces, and make them work for me. Phenomenal Wednesday is about being present, being thankful, and reminding yourself that no matter what the package looks like—you’re still equipped to handle it.
