by Donnetta Austin Are you someone who manages your time wisely? Each of us are given 24 hours in a day. The thought has crossed my mind that time waits for no one. Personally for myself I like to set goals rather short or long term and map It out on a vision board. By the time a few weeks, to months, then a full year has gone by I realize procrastination has set in. I have come no where near close to what I wanted to accomplish. Maybe you are proactive and have already anticipated what you’re life will look like in ten, fifteen ,or twenty years from now. As an example, a friend of mine has a twenty one year old son who attends college and majoring in business. My friend’s son knows that his father has always imagined him collaborating together in a family owned business. Then while studying, preparing for graduation, and trying his best to keep up with a 4.0 GPA in college, life has thrown him a curveball and the unexpected happened. My friend’s son had to figure out how to lead and run a family business by himself while coping with the fact that a change has taken place and help is needed. In the NIV Bible Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. We are also reassured in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you , declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Our plans can alter at any given moment. It can feel like your faith is being tested. Will you trust in God to get you to the place of where you need to be? Ultimately he will provide and make a way for his glory. By Donnetta Austin Book on Amazon “Never Retire God” Email: The URBAN EXPERIENCE | 2021 15
