A Life Reflection: Seek Inspiration!


Over these past few days I kept thinking about how I haven’t written a blog post for almost three weeks and how I need to write one soon. When I first started this blog, I knew that I did not want to come out of the gate strong and consistent and then have it eventually fall to the wayside and be a distant memory of a passion project, but I also did not want to write something just for the sake of “being consistent”. It was (and still is) very important to me to be inspired to write so my words come from a genuine place and don’t feel forced or come off as fake. My hope is that as result of my moment of inspiration that I would help to inspire others. I said all of this to say that sometimes we may feel a lack of inspiration but a lot of times it does not take a grand act or gesture to be inspired, but instead it’s the little things that we reflect on throughout the day that can spark inspiration ๐Ÿ’ฅ.
This blog post literally was inspired by a moment of reflection sitting at my desk at work and me thinking about how I have posted in awhile. I started to feel bad that I wasn’t feeling inspired because this blog is important to me and out of nowhere just like that God laid the inspiration on my heart to write, out of my lack of inspiration of what to write in the first place! It’s crazy to think how God works sometimes, He can truly turn things around within a split second and it doesn’t have to be a lighting strike kind of moment to come to a realization; you could just being going through the motions of your routine and in a moment of silence or reflection He speaks to you; Wow God is Good! I guess it just goes to show that if you walk around with a heart seeking to be inspired, even when life gets in the way of dedicate time to seek whatever it is you’re looking for that God will show up; not too early or too late, but right on time!
As I previously mentioned, life can get  in the way of us feeling inspired and going after what we want and our hearts true desires. For me, the juggling of a full-time work schedule, full-time workload of being online graduate student, and still trying to find time for to myself to relax and do things I enjoy while also trying maintain some type of social life was starting to make me feel like writing for my blog would get lost in the sauce if a wind of inspiration didn’t come through soon. But you know how the saying goes, God may not come when you want Him to, but He’s always on time! Even though consistency was not my top priority, He knew that was an important aspect of maintaining this blog to me and through Him guiding me to seek inspiration in the little things (or in this case being open to be inspired within my everyday routine) He came through and delivered!
I hope that I can encourage someone to trust God and allow Him to show Himself true by granting you desires of your heart in His timing! No matter what it is you’re seeking to receive, go out into the world with an open heart and mind and with no time restraints but with a spirit of expectancy. Once again thank you all for your continued support on this journey as I continue to seek inspiration in hopes to you inspire you with what God is doing in my life. If you haven’t done so already, please go back and check out some of my previous posts and get caught up with the most recent post being in celebration of my 25th birthday a few weeks ago (I spent a good amount of time collecting my thoughts to put that post together, so I would greatly appreciate it if you showed it a little extra love! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜‚lol) as well as my post from my #SingleSeries (which I plan to be adding to again soon, just need some time to get readjusted to my change in school schedule, and of course when God sees fit to inspire me again ) Until next time continue to seek inspiration and be blessed!

Much Love,

Ebony ๐Ÿ’œ

A Human Nature Reflection: Overcoming the Spirit of Fear

It’s so funny how God works sometimes, my last post was literally just a few days ago talking about seeking inspiration in our everyday lives (if you missed that one, please go back and check it out), and just a few short days later He speaks again! Considering some recent and projected current events, the Lord pressed on my heart to discuss fear. Yes, fear is instilled in us and is essentially a part of our human nature, however if we let it consume our heart, mind, body and spirit, it can manifest and lead into some dangerous territory. I’m sure that everyone has become aware of the devastation that hit Houston, Texas and other surrounding Texas cities as well as parts of Louisiana this past week with Hurricane Harvey. This storm brought flooding to Houston like they’ve never seen before and my mother being from Houston and all the maternal side of my extended family still residing there, it was hard to see on the news on over social media given the close connection, but by the ...

An Annual Reflection: 24 Things I’ve Learned (& Done) While 24!

Throwback LOL Today is officially my 25 th birthday (well technically not at the exact moment I’m writing this, it’s actually 3 weeks to the day away, but it’ll be August 14 th when I’m posting this, lol)! It’s crazy to think that I’ve lived a quarter of a century; time has flown by and I’m grateful to God that He’s brought me this far to see a new year! I may still have a baby face (similar to the throwback you see above) and not look my age but I believe that God has blessed me with wisdom beyond my years (you’d be surprised at the amount of people that think I’m 16 and still in high school, I guess it could be taken as a compliment… but just one I would prefer to receive later in life; when someone says it now I just want to say I’m Grown Y’all!!! Lol, but in reality I just take it in stride)! I usually don’t have pre-mediated blog posts prepared because so far, every post I’ve written was on the spot the same day of post with God given inspiration, and this post was a Go...

A Positive Reflection: The Best for Last Mentality #SingleSeries

So today I was sitting at work and I had some music playing in my headphones as background noise while I work as always (to drown out the awkward silence and random bits of conversation in the office space, but that’s beside the point…just a fun fact ๐Ÿ˜Š lol), and depending on how “in the zone” I am at the moment or how busy the workload is, I’ll sometimes find myself drifting in and out of paying attention to whatever song is playing. I like to mostly listen to something to keep me alert and uplifted in energy throughout the day, and I do like to mix things up in variety but gospel music has always been a frequent go-to of mine because it was what I was raised on, it’s very inspirational and uplifting and I just love the musicality of it. I was coming back to consciousness from a drift-off work moment and heard “Best for Last” by Donald Lawrence and Yolanda Adams playing and I began to pay closer attention to the lyrics and it got me thinking of the outlook that I should have on ...
